"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.

Does anyone have experience with Filson briefcases? The website says they use bridal leather, but it was seriously crap. So bad that I returned it. It was a sorry excuse for leather and almost looked like corrected grain. I wanted to love it so badly, but I couldn't get past the shitty quality of the leather.
-
Man, that's sad. I got their Levi's collab bag, and the leather was the best part. I'm sorry to hear your case wasn't good. You should let them know.
