      @Autorotate Thanks a lot. That looks excellent. I plan to wear it in the same way and mostly for the chilly morning and evening walks with the dogs in the green.
      I am 5'11" but rather slim and narrow 155lbs, 39.5 chest. I was initially thinking of a size M but maybe S could fit me as well.
      I wear my IH Westerns mostly size M, some in large.

        @Dmart I think a Small is a good call. It has some length in the back and probably will fit you even better than mine fits me.

              @Dmart glorious brother! Great fit! She’s a beast, eh?

              Since we’ve chatted on this thread I’ve taken a bit of a deep dive on Filson. I’m a proud new owner of an EBay BNWT red/black Mackinaw Cruiser. Next level jacket and wish I’d had one years ago. It’s just so simple and fantastic.

                  @Autorotate I love my Mack Cruiser. It’s a big large in the chest, but find it perfect for layering over my type 3 when necessary. Dig that it kinda has a bit of a pea coat vibe (mine is charcoal).

                    Couple weeks back acquired this Filson tin dark brown jacket, I can imagine it will turn so pretty after start developing some patina.

                          Filson is one of those companies that makes some really good stuff, but you'll pay for it. They also make some really bad stuff....and you'll pay for it. lol I don't have an issue with iconic American companies using imported goods provided they are up to par with the companies standards and that they are priced accordingly. Unfortunately for Filson the vast majority of their imported good fail on both counts. Their Macinaw stuff is excellent, I own a Cruiser and it's fantastic. Not a fan of a lot of their other stuff, it's a shadow of what the vintage line was.

                            This is what I'm talking about...explain to me why this is 1k usd? I paid a little over $400 for my Cruiser when I snagged it on sale down from $550usd. This is literally just an additional few inches of wool added to the bottom to make it a longer length coat instead of a Cruiser. My Cruiser is a great jacket and worth every penny I paid for it...but I'm not seeing $1000 usd for this.

                              @edgarallanpoe it does have a lining in it too…which the normal Mack cruiser doesn’t have. Collar details.

                              But I agree. Seems really over priced. I paid $350
                              When I got my Mack cruiser about 4 years ago. They’ve gone up in price considerably. I do love it though.

                                Filson pricing is completely insane, esp given how much of their catalog is outsourced.
                                Also, after wearing a Mac cruiser in my pre-IH years, I can tell you that their jackets arent warm. They are more like wool windbreakers than anything.

                                  @Anesthetist 100% All they are is a top layer over warmer bottom layers.

                                    their mac wool is about the least windproof fabric i own in what i consider an outer layer
                                    personally I've kinda thought of this as a design feature as it helps shed moisture/sweat and regulate temp a bit more while exerting oneself, especially with careful layering underneath.

                                    it certainly wont work for everyone and in all climates.

                                    otherwise, agree on all else
                                    pricing insane, sizing has gotten even more terrible, service not as great as it used to be (in store is still great by me fwiw), and just not much appealing to me anymore.

                                      @pechelman I find the only time I wear mine is when it’s snowing out and cold and can layer it over a couple other layers due to how oversized the dang chest is.

                                      Handles the falling snow well. Breathes well for the semi-arid Colorado climate. But mostly takes a back seat to other jackets I prefer.

                                        I had a mackinaw cruiser about 8 years ago and I think I paid $300 for it. I was on their website yesterday and I see they’re $550 now? That’s crazy. Cause yeah yall are right. Not very warm

                                        Less is more

                                          @Mizmazzle sounds like we use ours similarly. Whenever it snows here I throw it on over a thermal layer or tshirt to shovel. It's fantastic in that it keeps me dry and warm after i start working. Similarly, it's great layered this same way when hiking around in the winter which is typically humid and in the 40s.

                                          All of my layering techniques and fabrics I loved in CO don't really work for shit in the PNW. Wool is about the only thing that keeps me comfortable when exerting in the cold.

                                            @edgarallanpoe I think the brand was ruined when it was bought out probably….early 2000’s? It has changed hands a lot over the years w the lodge line, hipster lines, etc etc. It hasnt helped my view of the company.
