Hey Cosmo, I visited the Filson site after you mentioned it for the parafin treatment product, and saw this attractive Levi's trucker jacket
http://www.filson.com/products/oil-finish-trucker-jacket.10502.html
Anybody out there who could tell me if this is great stuff or another Levi's disappointment?

i have this jacket and it is AMAZING.. i really really love it..i think the key to its greatness is the fact that it is in fact made by FILSON in Seattle , WA rather than made by LEVIS in a questionable factory in a country of questionable work standards… as for fit and style it is a pretty standard LEVIS jean jacket but it is made out of the wonderful water repellent FILSON oil cloth material with  moleskin lined collar and cuffs...

fit pics soon.

i have this jacket too and i like it.  its not my favorite filson piece by a longshot though.    if you are on the fence about buying it and want something functional instead of something that just looks cool then i suggest a tin cruiser jacket.

@STAN:

Inseam shorten to 29in. Bit of room in the waist and slightly tight on the thigh.

Nice. How does it feel compared to the SR's?

[zhivago]

Stiff apple vs. a stiff orange.

[STAN]

At the moment, a little bit stiff  from the thigh to the knees, cause of the double layer, rest of the part. ….well....just normal , imo,  like a brand new SR's.

nice!

Today,  1st day CNY holiday and decide to  cold soak the ih804 for 15 minutes and air dry. ( note : oldish pics was just trying it out ) This is the looks after hit the water. That cloth hanger can't hold the weight after 3 minutes. It's stiff and a little bit of weight.
I am too lazy  to  take any measurement before soak.

Any restock on W34 or 36 Brown Duck on this Giles? I miss the boat..

[Giles]

No restock, but have some 16oz (IH-801) coming in nexxt week…....

[mankarat]

cool G, i guess i have to wait for the brown duck once it available. Double knee will make it 32 oz right? I guess that should be more than enough.

[Giles]

Should be here next couple of days…............

[mankarat]

This is still extant G?

[Giles]

No, actually endangered, sorry,  will update web site….

[Chris]

Does this mean the potential single knee non-paraffined version that was discussed several months back isn't going to happen?

[Giles]

I think it won't happen.  I will find out more in May in Japan…...........

[Seul]

I'm buying the black version of these as soon as possible. Best pair of pants I've ever owned. Yep - I prefer the duck over jeans…

[injunjack]

Seul, are you a convert or has this been always so, just out of curiosity?

[Seul]

Well I've always preferred my duck rider over my jeans rider… But there's just something about these pants... Comfy, rugged, and I can not stop squeezing the duck fabric... We need a 21 oz. version of these btw...

[Giles]

You got it - IH-804, it's just that they are paraffin coated…..........
