Filson

I came > < close to buying the briefcase this past weekend at this old camping goods store I frequent in Quincy Ill. My wife promises me that if it's still there in November when we go back to the country I can buy it. HD, make sure you put some conditioner on your straps. The leather can be brittle when it dries which has caused my old rucksack to crack on one of the straps.

Just came in, LOVE the material…the waxed tin will age beautifully!

Wish the sleeves were 2"-3" longer…but other than that I love the jacket. Great detail with wearing for one day even...can't wait to see the evo. I love waxed cotton.

My Filson is for sale…. Sad but Damn sleeves! Or long arms... Whatever

^ That is just the regular ruck… http://www.filson.com/luggage-bags/backpacks-rucksacks/rucksack.html
And is a pretty good deal considering it is BNWT.But I'm not really sure theres much difference between the Vans version and the standard ruck. Maybe slightly taller and a bit different shade of tan?

Visited the Filson store in London yesterday and left with this wonderful jacket:
Although I was originally quite set on a Mack cruiser (their flagship piece), I quickly shifted to the work jacket when I saw it.
Same material (24oz Mackinaw wool) but the pure lines & understated ultra-classic design immediately won me over.
A true work jacket like in the old days and superbly built…! This looks like what a mechanic would have been wearing several decades ago..
Very comfy, reassuringly warm and equally at ease over a T-Shirt or an UHF.
Very happy with it.
More pics soon....... -

You won't be disappointed! -
Always a pleasure @Shoreman [emoji1360]

Think I might pop in the Filson store here in town. They recently relocated their downtown location to an upscale suburban strip mall in the rich part of town
I have one of their waxed cruiser jackets (which I never wear) and 2 of their cascade flannels which I do like, but they're made in Portugal. Might check out their mesh back trucker hats since we were talking about wanting IH to do one. -

If so that seems like a fairly short tenure.
