That is a version of the Filson Double Mackinaw. I have one without the fur collar. It is 30 years old and is as good as the day it was made. It weighs far more than you would think and you can actually feel the extra weight of the cape construction. The wool is so tight that it is virtually waterproof. In those days it did not have the flannel lining which I think is better than with the lining, as it makes it more breathable and less likely to get wet from perspiration.

Ah, the pithy, witty, and informative Iron Snail. Who knew that a snail, the slowest of creatures, made of iron, the heaviest of metals, should be so quick in divulging the specs of the most technical of garments. More and more shorts, my man!

I bought this exact same jacket last spring, I never thought how awesome it is until I put it to the test.. I walked the dog outside in -20c almost feeling like -30c with wind chill, in during this Christmas winter storm, winds gusting up to 80-100km/hr, with only a Filson's midweight merino base layer underneath. It's not wind proof, takes a lot of wind to penetrate, but not once was I cold, like at all.

Now, only if they could do the blue and black, and also the green and black buffalo plaid for the wool packer coat, I would be so happy...

Totally worth it. It will last you a lifetime & it’ll come back in fashion 3 times haha - win-win!!!

i love that you described the collar as a second hat

I read title and thought no way a coat can be that nice. Boy was I wrong. That coat is immaculate.

I made a winter coat with 24 oz melton wool. The lining was linen, wool batting, and linen again. Plus it has a hood.

I just started watching your videos last week and man are you just like me with everything you say in your videos. We love to dissect these garments and boots and talk about the quality. Love your stuff man.

I have one and wear it when I ride horses. It’s warm, comfortable, and pretty lightweight, but when the temperatures really drop it is lacking a little. If you want deep warmth, check out a sheepskin coat from Overland.

If imma spend 900 bucks on a jacket, it’s gonna be something like this. Not some corporate slop. I love seeing these, cause if I’m ever in a position to spend that much on a single jacket 😂then I can watch these videos for cool quality stuff

[OnderTARIM]

That’s perfect Michael, i’ll be eagerly waiting for the video. I got the same model but buffalo plaid, it’s my dream jacket ever and my most precious 😊

Eye have this coat by Filson's. Bought in Tx a few years back, great coat. It took the the longest to realize it had this long pocket in the back, perhaps for carrying an ax or wood or maybe even a shotgun.

the inside made of cotton will loose the insulation warmth when its wet. so no crawling trough the snow or sweathing a lot (or what?). i love the mackinaw wool

[Plague_Doc]

Should mention the GSM as well as the american units.

I’m a big fan of wool. I can’t wait for my new century jacket to get here. I would definitely pass on this particular piece though.
