By the way:
At www.bakershoe.com you can buy the best USA boot brands like Wesco, White's, Nick's, Danner etc. Some of them are cheaper as on their own shops on the homepages!

Shane, how are those alaskan guide flannels u picked up? Fit, weight and quality wise

Quality is pretty great. I got larges and they fit like IH XXXLs. I think after a wash they will fit even better. The material is extremely soft.
I got lucky and found two for pretty cheap. One of them was made in USA and one in Hong Kong. I'll be getting a blue one and the white one as well.
$340 for four amazing flannels ain't bad. Probably wont fit most of the euro toddlers on here though…

Lol dude. Post up some measurements of the lrg if u dont mind man. I like the red and green but will b purchasing the 72 in green for sure and might save myself some cash and do the red filson instead of both 72's lol

Thanks for the tip JayDee! Did you had to pay customs?
-
Yes, unfortunately yes!
Take the price in $, then add the shipping and now convert the whole price in €. At the custom office you have to pay 19% sales tax and between 7% and 12% customs duty. If you add all together, you could say the price in $ is like the price in €!
Attention:
Take care of the actual currency translation rate! -
Some of the black label line that they have are designed and possibly made in Italy.
yep i just got the grey black plaid alaska water fowl jacket.
its lovely. build quality is more fashion than work wear but its such an elegant design.
how do i add pictures by the way?

i think that might have been a summer model but if your friend lives in london present is a good place to start

@tmg:
Anybody know of any shops in the UK that stock (or can order in) Filson?
I keep looking at the Portage Bay jacket, but would want to try one on for size first.
see posts above. present in london carry filson black label.
not sure if anyone carries the US stuff.
meaty import duty and VAT add about 35% to cost on import.
still its sale time so a good time to order.
i got an eddie bauer skyliner for £40 today.
can't be bad.

Get it from the States. I was looking for one of their wool vests and found that there is a UK distributor but their website is half finished and they don't respond to emails or phone calls.
Yeah, I found that too, but more frustrating is that because there is an 'apparent' UK distributor, you can't buy online from the Filson store and have stuff shipped to the UK! Really annoying as I've found the jacket I'm after is in the sale!
On a seperate note, can anyone advise on Filson sizing, specifically for jackets? My chest is approximately 43" and I take XL in IH shirts which gives a 'fitted' look, however, going by the Filson sizing guide I'm right in between a Medium (40-42) and a Large (44) - I've read various comments on different forums that Filson jackets are 'generously sized, so can anyone help point me in the right direction? If you have a M or L Filson jacket and could post actual pit-to-pit measurements that would be great

Yeah exactly. Really frustrating.
I only try to help getting the best products for the best price…
