- Buy the Filson Denim Cruiser Jacket here! alnk.to/bEfivZd
We all know Filson makes the best BIFL wool jackets and coats (even though that price is getting pretty steep) but what do they have besides the mackinaw? WELL ILL TELL YEE. ITS DENIM.
Filson is that brand. They make some of the best and most stylish coats and jackets around and became famous with their mackinaw wool and tin cloth cruiser jackets. Their jackets are truly buy it for life quality. However they do have some denim jackets in the same style as their cruiser! I feel like this is really a chore coat at the end of the day but with the history of the cruiser, it gets it's own category.
So anyways, this 14.5oz raw denim jacket made in the good ol USA is ready to be reviewed.
So what do I think! Did Filson scam me?! Are they a rip off?!

The two are set on taking over the world of fashion by creating a clothing line to end all clothing lines. Until then, we’re here to tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about the best clothing out there, from the highest quality raw denim jeans to the warmest jacket to the sturdiest boots…the Iron Snail has got you covered.

Woah… Taylor…Woah
Agreed, i wasnt really interested in the jacket talk, more taylor please.
why was i so excited to see taylor
@@Stridewise she is beautiful, but more importantly, in a conversation about the quality of Clothes i cant help but enjoy mentioning the Taylor.
Its the simple things. Maybe, i need to get out more. I blame the Government. I used to get out loads before the the Pretendemic.
@@Stridewise Because she makes Michael happy...and that's a good thing.
We love young T!
I had the same experience. So I saw this jacket in the catalog and patiently waited for it to become available. Ordered it for myself for Christmas. When I opened it I was so disappointed. I went online and looked and they had already changed the website to reflect the new specs. Went to my old catalog just to make sure I wasn’t going crazy. My first thought was to return it but it is such a nice jacket I kept it instead. It’s now my ice rink jacket when my boys play hockey. 4 months later and I’m very happy with it.
Cool to see Taylor! I had to double check the date, I thought I was watching an old video! Hope y'all had a good New Years together!
Glad to see a review of this jacket, it's much too expensive for me to consider (I have a bit of buyer's remorse about my regular mackinaw cruiser) But I wanted to see what it was like. Disappointing that filson didn't deliver on what they showed they would, but I'm not entirely surpised considering filson's track record as of late-- especially upsetting since their aesthetic has turned them into one of my favorite brands. Great video, glad to see you got a chance to reconnect with Taylor. I didn't think the video was badly edited at all. Can't wait for the carhartt vid.
Ty my good friend!
We all just want Michael and Taylor in the end 😩 the jackets and jeans are all just a bonus
(You know same)
I love Filson, and own quite a few tin cloth cruiser jackets, vests, flannels etc. This past year they really disappointed me in the pricing and lack of "new" releases. I have been so fearful of sizing and boxy cut jackets that I did not purchase anything this year. This new denim jacket caught my eye, and looks great on you (and Taylor for sure). Glad you got one despite the couple misleads. Glad to see Taylor and Happy New Year. Truly hoping you guys get married one day. ; )
Thank you! And SAME ( :) )
Taylor walking in was like watching one of the coolest possible cameos lmao. Happy New year to both of you! I hope she does well in Denmark and you on UA-cam!
Hahahaha she always makes an entrance
Man your videos are so awesome, you are a great storyteller and editor
Honestly, I've been pondering the purchase of a Filson jacket for a while and after watching your videos I might hang on and try and get one from Iron Snail - are you just planning a Mackinaw style jacket at the moment? or do you plan to release a range? Thanks for all that you do, the information you're providing is invaluable to the layman.
Another great video, content on point as usual. Look forward to the cathartt vid. 🔥🔥
Ty!
Welcome back Taylor!!! Thx Michael for the video! Very nice like always!
TY SO MUCH!
I envy men here, I can’t even enjoy these reviews and product but the way Michael does his videos are almost like documentaries. Nice story telling. I have not encountered any women’s fashion channel that presents clothes in detail with history like this. Good job!
Hallo! Nice video!!!
I’m purchasing this jacket but i’m not sure for the size. I have the Mackinaw cruiser in L, this jackets fits like Mackinaw version??? Thanks
The LL Bean Maine Guide jacket/coat might be something to consider taking a look at. I got one a couple years ago since Western Maine winters are pretty frigid. The thing is killer!
Looking at it right now!
Thank you for the review! My jacket came today but I'm experieincing an issue with the snaps, the main middle snaps are fine but the pocket snaps are weak, has no "snap" sound when closing and wants to open. Does your jacket have this issue?
I agree about the pockets needing an extra layer of denim.
Hot take: poly lined sleeves are terrible. I love the filson jac shirts which are lined in the body with cotton and poly in the sleeves, I'd find my arms to be sweating constantly so I took out out the poly lining leaving only the bare wool and the sweating arms stopped. Coincidence?
Agreed, I find that my biggest gripe with my Barbour jacket, Nylon lined sleeves= sweaty damp arms.
100% I absolutely hate poly lining
I did the same thing with my jac shirt. I love it unlined, and someday might add a sheepskin lining, but just the 26oz wool is great
Love the hot take and am now considering it!
I always get poly sleeve linings replaced, terrible stuff for where I live
Nice review of a very interesting jacket. My dad worked for the forestry service in college and often wore the red checked wool version of this; that piece is so warm it’s amazing. How warm is this one? Thanks!!
Oh that’s amazing! Doesn’t even compare sadly, those mackinaws are animals!
Bro this is some of the best content ngl 😳
This was a good video. You kept your standards up. Good job. I want the jacket.
yeah it’s amazing!
It does size big…but after multiple washes or soaks oer the years wouldn’t it shrink?
You should try brave star denim ! Amazing for the price ! As good as a $300 pair of jeans
Nice, I've been seeing lots of ads for this jacket, and I was definitely curious. Although that price means I probably wasn't gonna get one no matter how good it is lol
Bahahahaha
I really enjoyed the video! I think the jacket looks great but wow that sizing is horrendous considering you’re wearing an XS. Seems like anything bigger than a small is just ginormous.
It truly is!
5’11 - 200lbs. I’m stuck between the medium and large. Due to the way people are talking about sizing of this jacket. I think I’m gonna go with the large. What do you think? I know I wear 34 or 35” sleeves….. any help from anybody would be appreciated about the pull the trigger here
also can’t wait for the iron snail x n&f collab!
Great video and great jacket.
You were spot on about the bottom pockets with the lining as the pocket backing. Very un-filson like. Definitely a point of failure in the future. I don’t get it.
I enjoyed the intro would like to see more of the style in your videos
DEAL!
Love the videos here .. and at Theo and Harris 👍
The jacket does not look too big. It looks proper.
Edit: because the jacket is cotton and wool it might be purposely oversized to allow for shrinking. As those two fabrics are known to shrink.
I’ll be interested to see it after first wash!
L.C. King makes a great barn coat. Blanket lined and choice of blue denim or brown duck. Made in USA and value priced with coupons and frequent sales. I love it. Filson fit is never right, and their prices are sky high. Not to mention they apparently falsely advertised the coat. I'd send it back in a heartbeat.
Im a huge fan of LC King!
Hey man! Glad to see Taylor got to come visit. Congrats on 13k! Onwards and upwards!
Me too and THANK YOU!
If not for this video, I surely would have ordered the wrong size jacket. I am 5'10 and wear a 38R jacket, and the XS fit me perfectly and was even roomy. I would have never ordinarily bought XS!!! Weird Filson sizing. Thanks for posting the invaluable sizing info!
Thanks Michael & Redmond for video & comments. Received today!!
Got one of these in Filson's winter sale after much hemming and hawing, but 50%.and this video were enough to push me towards it. Removed from the context of the misleading pre-order, I think it's a pretty great jacket for $250 (the sale price now). Somehow I expected with ~50% synthetic materials that the blanket lining would be much less coarse than it is, but that's Filson for you. I'm wondering if they made more than one run of these and corrected the sizing because the one I got is my normal Filson size (small, wear a medium in other brands) is not as oversized as I expected.
what is your height and weight
@@thomasalderson368 5'11, ~160 lbs. Buy a small in everything from Filson.
That jacket is unusually good fit for you. Dont get why it looks so proportional. Did you wash it so it gets better fit? Shame it wasnt a raw denim, that would be a suprice but the welcomed one. Nice to see you with Taylor again hope you enjoyed holidays
Nope thats just straight out of the box! And it is raw! Just not selvedge sadly
and that's why there was a nice pep in your step. the tone of your voice is a lot different. someone's happy. coz taylor is back. too bad she's just visiting.
Thrilled to see the young lady!
No dude its still an awesome video, and im sad that they didnt deliver the expected. The idea of having a map pocket is so cool to me
SAME HERE! And ty!
My Omega blu/blu caliber 9605 would go great with this jacket.
Weird of filson's part. Glad you like the jacket, I love my tin cloth cruiser!
One of my grail jackets!
Hi editing Michael, this is UA-cam viewer here. The video was great! Neat jacket with an interesting story, and the backdrop was awesome. Definitely helped me get that scent of pine 🌲
TY love to hear it!
Hey post-editing-comment reading Michael. I love you channel and your videos. It's one of my favorite channels on UA-cam. Quick question for you. Do you want people to be able to see the license plate on that car? There's some mean people out there and you never know what they might do. Keep up the great work.
Ugh yes my bad on the license plate! Didn’t even cross my mind
@@TheIronSnail I've got your back. Keep doing what you're doing.
I love that denim but issue is I pretty much only wear jeans and it's not a good look
new aesthetic, appreciated, also funny
Hey TY!
What size do you wear of the LL Bean roll neck sweater? Thinking about getting one myself.
Small! But I could go a medium because they SHRINK when washed
@@TheIronSnail Thank you very much. Sounds like I should get a medium. I'm 5 foot 10 and about 160 lbs. I remember you're about 5 9 and 140 lbs. Appreciate it.
Another great video. (Audio clipping, watch levels.)
I've learned!!
@TheIronSnail gotta say man... I used to watch your videos because I was shopping for new denim and such. You're roughly the same size and build as me. So, it was nice to see how things might fit and look. Now, I'll watch just because! My wife is always like "what are you buying that jacket now?! You don't need another jacket!" Doesn't matter what the subject is. I just genuinely freakin enjoy your videos.
You have become my favorite UA-cam dude by far, my friend!
Thank you for doing you!
Sweet parkour tricks too. Nice bonus!
#youdoyou #forestparkour
Hahahaha hey TY!!
Dude you’re just the best!!
THANK YOU!
She's back!!!!
BAAACK AND BETTER THAN EVER!
Awesome video!
TY!
Hi Taylor!!! Great to see you again!!!
She says hi!
I giggled like a school girl when I saw Taylor walk into frame and then had to explain to my wife why I was so excitedly happy. 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
hahahahaha its because she is the literal best
Horridoh, what's your take on Flat Caps? Wouldn't that be a nice topic for a video?
Never looked into them but I will now!
Ayyyyyyy good stuff homie 🤙
TY!
I bought the XL, I love it! It fits my chest very well.
We are complete opposite sizes!
Can I ask you how tall you are and your weight? Am not sure if am gonna order a L or XL and am 6’1 and 220lbs with a beer belly! Cheers 🍻
@@larsstenseth2351 230lbs and 6”1. Go get the XL especially if your wide shouldered.
Do u have any hair care routine ? Danggggg, I wish i had this style :(
THANKS! I do! Check out a vid I made on it!
This jacket is cool and all but can’t wait for that Iron Snail denim jacket though 🔥🔥
exactly. when is THAT happening?
SAME
sOOoOooN (just like ive been saying for 30 years)
Taylor walks in like a BOSS
The acrylic in the lining is probably there to help with the hand feel. Wool, nylon and polyester will likely be quite dry/coarse on their own. Could be why
Oooooooooh didn’t even think of that!
Dude I love your sweater where did you get it from?
LL Bean! The rollneck sweater
Thank you!!
Taaaaaaaaaylooooor!!!
Your video of when she left was so sad. I seriously thought she was gone forever. What a great surprise!
Agreed!!!
Damn this company for making lots of things that I want, for outrageous prices I’ll never pay.
Why are they so good yet so bad!
@The Iron Snail , Micheal, at 3:11 you show a jacket. I've looked on the site can find it. Can you help a guy out please?
Are you referring to the vibrant green jacket? From what I recall, while they produce similar designs; this piece had been an official USFS issued jacket. It may actually be an image of one which sold (including additional USFS licensed badges) on eBay a few months ago!
@@kikrix yes, with the patch on sleeve. Can't find it on the Filson site.
@@kikrix thanks for the info
He’s right! They don’t offer it in such a vibrant green but the mackinaw on their site now in forest green is still an approved jacket USFS I believe! The patch is sewed on by them!
@@TheIronSnail Lord Snail.. replied..? HERE?! Thank you, validating God. Galvanized Gastropod, to hear your voice is to taste emotional ecstasy.
The first 20 seconds were a rollercoaster of emotions. Wow, can't believe someone would walk through one of Michael's videos -> Wait... it can't be... surely not -> It is! Taylor has returned.
Great to see you both back together in a video, definitely put a smile on my face. Can't wait to see what videos you put out this year!
Hahahahaha the best stranger to come across!
Ok, seriously, when I saw Taylor in the background I cheered.
(Me too)
where are the nature shots from?
Cape Cod!
So glad to see Taylor again, I've missed her and she's even more beautiful than I remembered!
She is the best!
It was good, Editing-Michael.
TY!
winter accessory video?
amazing idea!
Would they let me into the salty spitoon in this jacket?
They barely let me into Weenie Hut Jr. with it
Filson is such an odd company, I can’t agree with the prices of their stuff, but man do I love what they make! Maybe I should hop ship to Filson instead!
High ho high ho it’s off to Filson we go! (Doesn’t fit syllable was but i tried)
Denim jackets were most certainly used for workwear as were trousers.
It's probably best that it didn't get made like a double mac; it would be uncomfortable with the weight and restrictive with so many layers of 14 oz denim. The prototype probably made the wearer feel like they were carrying a backpack. Filson, now tooling up for a client base that doesn't buy their stuff for actual workwear, realize that they can produce a pseudo robust outdoor livery (beyond their standard, original pieces). It's a nice jacket, I wouldn't buy it and maybe a polyester sleeve liner would have been a nice touch, but again, I can see why they didn't do that either.
I bought the journeyman on a trip to DC at one of their stores. I wore it one time. ONE TIME. I tried to return it immediately after because the straps did not fit comfortably for long-term wear. I told Filson that I had worn the item. I was very clear about the situation. I sent the bag back. They sent it back to me saying it was not saleable because it was worn. Yeah I told them that. I contacted customer service again because I can't beleive that a $500 bag isn't returnable after 1 use. I was denied again. They say it's their 'policy'. WTF kinda policy is that? They don't care at all about customer satisfactions. So yes I have a very expensive, cool looking, uncomfotable bag that I can't travel with as planned. I will never spend money with them again.
Reply
Normally I'd be mad that a good item gets lots of attention because it sells out quick or the price goes up. But I'm already broke after Christmas and new years. So it doesn't matter.
Hahaha the best way to budget is to be broke!
This XS still look comically too big on you, I would suggest you get a XXS if it's available.
Kind of done with filson once I saw that the $500 rain jackets are made in South Asia.
Filson's sizing jumped the rails. Only in the last few years. I don't know what happened, poor quality control I suspect. When you're manufacturing overseas, hard to keep it tight.
I have had dozens of carhart products, I will never own another article if that company again, never. If you know you know. Goooo filson
I just want to find a segment in the entire video where you're wearing clothes and demonstrating the effect of buttoning up, but throughout the entire video, you have your clothes unbuttoned.
Wait…the guy from Theo and Harris watch videos?! Cool…
oh yeah!!
You should have blurred out your license plate number.
I hate the collar. they shoudl have made it the wool on the inside.
Personnely thinking I think it looks great.
TY!
Filson is failing on the front of words and definitions. Take a look at the Anorak which is really a wool hoody. Remove the tag and other companies wouldn't last with this practice.
It’s sad to see!
$500 for a half baked jacket? That's some serious kool aid man.
(Agreed)
It’s made in the USA. How often can you show off quality US made clothes that weren’t made 30 years ago?
Filson review by 🐌 = double chocolate cookie!
WELL TY!
Did Michael said viewtube?
Most likely yes
Taylor appears in the video…and Michael said the video came out bad…hmm idk seem unrelated.
Awesome video, impossible for you to make a bad video 😁
bahahahaha ty!
yo taylor's back?
for a little bit!
You lied to us Michael. This video was not bad. Do better (with the lying not the videos the videos are great).
Im gonna become such a good liar!
hmm, why is my comment keeps getting deleted?!
CAWRHAWRT ! Can't wait
CAH HAT!
CAHHHHAHHHHT
Like ur video ur funny 2 listen 2 especially as u explain the different types of blends how long it last longer than real wool lol relly ? I personally kno loggers have had a single cruiser 40 years without any problem s still wear them 2day as they wear hard long abuse daily and ur saying better than real wool with that trac record? Note ur new filson company is maybe 50 % quality as ur filson of past that said u mite as well have the best on tag , now they have no claim being best , CAUSE THAT WAS PAST QUALITY FILSON NOT CHEAP MADE CHINA CRAP AS TODAY
They’ve certainly changed a lot! Their new stuff is still pretty good though, just too expensive for what they give!
Why am I crying…? Oh, Taylor. Oh Taylor!!
THE RETURN OF THE MIGHTY!
475 bucks. Ummm No.
Steep for sure!
Bit average (the jacket, not your video!). For that money I'd rather get the mackinaw cruiser or mackinaw jac shirt!
Cruiser is where it’s at!
@@TheIronSnail it is but have you seen or tried the mackinaw wool jac shirt (which has a cotton lining). It is surprisingly good. I have both and am inclined to say it's the better buy (though bigger warmer and more coat like perhaps)!
Let's fucking gooooo
