@monday:

so for once i am patient, sort of kind of  ::)

Hey guys… can someone comment on how the fabric/fit compares to the Levi's/Filson Type III? Is this breathable and lighter weight? I have the filson and since its heavily oiled, there is absolutely no breathing through the fabric. I wore it on my trip to Japan, its a great jacket but I always end up sweating inside  8).. Haven't worn it since...

^^^^

this item is not yet available to the general public.  i guess it's hard to tell with all the pages of interest related to it.

maybe G can answer your question since he was globetrotting in it a few months back?

[Giles]

I dont know ho it fits to the Levi's/Filson version.  It will be approx (if not exactly) the same size as this:

And it is pretty breathable, certainly more so that anything waxed.

Any chance you will make one without side pockets at some point G?

[Giles]

Probably not, but let's see how this one goes…..

@Giles:

Differently haven't forgot about these. With all the amazing duck photos on the other threads I am dying to get these

I love this jacket. However, I can't decide between this and the 526J and, unfortunately, I'll have to choose one.

[madmonday]

do this one.  follow my twisted reasoning 

no idea how well this will do & so you better grab it while it is around. the 526J has been around for a little while & i don't think it will change for the forseeable future.  oh & i think they are also going to do a type III in the 666/beattle buster raw denim as well, which is probaly going to be limited.

so, if you are intent on getting an indigo jacket you might want to try that one . . . . .

choices choices

Edit: It must have been my fatigued state because I read it a third time and it made complete sense. Thanks. If that is, in fact the case, I think I'll follow your reasoning.

Get duck cause it's easier to combine with denim, and when worn in it looks mighty cool!..

[madmonday]

great point seul.  i want one of these so bad but have way too many jackets.  going to have to live through the rest of yous on this one -unless i fall into a money pit & pull out a couple stacks-.

[deftoned]

Dam… These look good too.

I am going to force myself to make a stand and have this item be the only one I cop from the fall/winter drop. A nice selection if I do say so myself.
