Stumbled upon this video today. Wow, can’t get a better real world review than this one. Thanks for your video. I could sit at the campfire and talk stories about that jacket alone for an hour!😂 well done!
Hey man, just want to say thanks for the video! Your video here was my very first introduction to a Filson garment. That was about a year ago and now I have a bunch of Filson gear and love most of them. Keep up the great videos, and thanks again for sharing! - Brett
Just ordered my tin cruiser. Looking forward to wearing it at work in this -10 weather with layers. I have the double tin pants and they block 100% of the biting wind. Very durable work wear and couldn’t be happier with filson
when you re-wax. Does it seep through and saturate the lining, making the lining stiff? I re-waxed an old Barbour style jacket and the wax went right through to the lining...
Filson gear is design to when you tear it in some area you can still wear it with pride! its not trash like a few have said and I dont know of any other gear that I own that I cant wait for it to tear a little... A torn Filson anything is awsome.
I had a similar experience with fraying. I never have gotten around to sending it back. The cuffs are so frayed that it looks like I am wearing a fringe jacket from the 70s. Haha. --Michael
Well i don't think the sleeves are hemed and the tin jacket material is kind of heavy duty until it rips. Than one rip turns out and gets bigger...and bigger...and bigger.
Two years?!?! That’s very premature wear, I have and old Dickies mechanic Ike jacket that 16 years old that I actually wear to work and abuse, that doesn’t look nearly as beat up as this one.
What year is that? I have a near 20 year old Tin Cruiser, heavily worn in vey tough conditions, and it has not worn nearly as bad as yours. I just bought a second one brand new, and it is definitely not the same material as my original.
Yep agreed - I have old Tin Cloth merchandise (from 30-40 years ago) and recently (past year) ordered a couple of other items - I totally agree the material seems very different - not nearly as tough and the stitching seems much weaker! We own a horse farm on a river and I use the stuff - the old Tin Cloth products were VERY tough. I'm looking for another company but have yet to find one that has the quality/materials that Filson used too.
Doug Chastain no other company...I actually bought another Tin Cloth Filson field coat...I think that’s it...the one with the map/game pocket in back. I’ve had it for about a year I think. So far it’s nice - very heavy. I must say I think Carharrt (sp?) still makes a nice value jacket. I like the new Filson and it seems like it’ll hold up. My wife said it’s now discontinued...lol.
Hello Mr Barnden, from your experience with tin cloth, is this material really waterproof ? (meaning, it can ensure to stay dry in despite of heavy rain) thanks in advance !
I got many of tin coats and yes but, u must keep waxed well and heat gun 2 penatrate ur layers b honest im floored coat has rips n wear on it in 2 years and kno as logger i abuse my 15 year old coat more than ur 2 years quailty went 2 shit in 20 years id b curious if it was 5 8.5 or 12 oz coat
You won't get a response. I didn't. That is IMO - one of the worse things a YTube Channel can do is make a video.....THEN say "any questions, send me a message/comment" - - then one who takes the time to watch the video and then DO EXACTLY what the person who made the video says to do - and then Do It. And get absolutely No Response. Kinda makes one feel like "they were used for the view." Hate to sound so harsh because I don't 'think I have ever left a response to a video like this before but it's more than likely no big deal because it isn't #1- Gonna get read and/or #2- 'MAY' get read but won't be responded to anyway. So I'm not missing out either way.🙃🤔
Bought the Tin Jacket. After a few years of light wear it "soured." Never could get the smell to go away no matter what I did. Will never purchase one again. I couldn't be around anyone wearing it. I have many other Filson products that I love. Not this one.
Well thanks for that. Will definitely not be buying one of these. 2 years and it has holes and tears like that!? I’ve got a cheap goretex jacket that has stood up to years of tree work and only has a slight tear at the cuff. New Filson is clearly just for hipsters
I just ordered two days ago the Filson Tin Cloth Short Lined Cruiser Jacket along with the Oil Finish Double Tin Pants. Can you tell me what to expect? I'm extremely used to RAW 18oz. to 23 oz. Loomstate Denim, so I have that covered. I own the LC King unlined chore coat, soon to be Otter Waxed along with other Raw Denim coats. But to me, the holy grail has always been Filson. Is there anything you can clue me into with the oil/tin cloth combo? It'd be much appreciated, I'm counting down the days on my calendar.😄
@@MrPocketfullOfSteel you wrote like 4 paragraphs of rambling incoherent product catalog descriptions to ask 1 question. The answer is that this feels nothing like denim, because it's not made of denim. It feels like heavy oilcloth/ waxed canvas because it's made out of that. What else would you expect?
@@z.w.7292 4 paragraphs. I think not. And YOU "took the time" and didn't say jack. As I'm sitting in my Filson britches and Filson Tin Cloth Line Short Cruiser. But thanks for taking YOUR time for the snarky remark. Much appreciated.👊👍
From a user perspective, I would be pissed if my $300+ jacket looked like that after 2 years. I have shirts and underwear that look better than that after years of wear. I've had my Haley Stevenson wax jacket that I wore and dragged with me daily for 3 years in better condition than that.
The "newer" Filson is no where near as good as the older Filson. My Filson wore out so quickly, and it shrunk as well. Also it gets so stiff in the cold, to the point of being uncomfortable and loud. The constant rubbing is the demise of the product, I don't want to bash it, but i'll stay with my beloved Carhartt .For the money i was disappointed with Filson.
For some reason this video made me think of Cast Away... Except instead of a volley ball floating away it's his jacket.. "Filson, I'm sorry!!! I'm sorry, Filson... FILSON!!!"
Corporate Greed Is The Culprit to lead Filson to make such Inferior Products. Staying away from Filson and Sticking with Barbour, at least Barbour's products are not being down graded as bad. After Filson, now I can Proudly Say Barbour for Life.
@@barnden I've been recommended these jackets a lot, but it seems like they (and many companies that market "rugged" "outdoor" clothing) have gone down hill in quality while keeping prices high. But this is coming from someone who's never owned a new Filson. I am simply giving my impressions.

Man that jacket has tons of patina! Looks awesome. I just got one for Christmas. I’m looking forward to wearing getting some patina on mine.
Truly jealous! Mine is just as filthy but lacks the holes. If it gets like yours I will buy a new one and save the old one for best.
Awesome Patina!

Man those combs are dreamy
Great review my friend keep up the good work.
omg what job do you do to worn out a jacket that quick? I had mine for 2 yrs as well and it looks almost new.....
Any update on the wear on this one? Looks like you put it through the ringer.
Nice
This jacket has Way too many holes for two years use for my taste. How did you get so many holes in it? Also what oz. cloth is used in it?
Filson gear is design to when you tear it in some area you can still wear it with pride! its not trash like a few have said and I dont know of any other gear that I own that I cant wait for it to tear a little... A torn Filson anything is awsome.
I have one that's just 3 months old, and the patina looks black in places. Is that normal?

Was you jacket stiff when you first got it?
Very cool man; is this the normal or extra long version?
What’s the sizing for these. Do they come up big?
Some suede leather reinforcement would be great for those wear spots, Filson could take a lesson from you, thanks for putting this out

Is this the short or xtra long?

Does the oil/wax absorb into your under layers?
No it dosen't bit it will get your car seats and seat belt all nasty
5 year update???

Yes the jackets are crap
There’s a few stores that carry filson in each province. Toronto has the only actual filson store though.
Love My 2005 Filson Packer. could use a hood. maybe you can spare yours :-)
Wow! That is some worn in jacket!
Are you waxing this? It will help with longevity
Bruce W. He said in the video he’s in the process of waxing it for the upcoming winter so imma say yeah
Well thanks for that. Will definitely not be buying one of these. 2 years and it has holes and tears like that!? I’ve got a cheap goretex jacket that has stood up to years of tree work and only has a slight tear at the cuff. New Filson is clearly just for hipsters
The jacket is actually "Old Filson". New Filson has black tags and only come in s-m-l, his is size 44 and has the original white tags.
Thanks for the video. I liked this jacket and wanted to buy one, but if this is how it looks like after two years I might go for something else.
Buy a filson tin that still has u mite as well have the best those were made b4 filson quality went to shit

They should be sourcing the new fabrics from Haley Stevenson. Great stuff.
the jacket looks so filthy and disgusting. it also looks soooo freaking awesome and worn looking. looks almost leathery in some areas, looks cool!

Only 2 years? What garbage.
György Cziffra I have had one and wear it all the time looks better than this and it is 5 years old. This jack has been used very hard.
Do you parachute into volcanoes everyday? For the cost of these jackets, this is unacceptable for only 2 years of wear.
Ya I know it get even worse I sent it back and they wouldn't fix it
Lol

Fjallraven is making a much better jacket for outdoor rugged clothing
