Here's my mackinaw cruiser. Love it. Can't wait to get the double.

....is that I'm going to sell it. Anybody have experience with the double logger coat? I like the way it looks and it sounds tough as nails. Affordable, too. I know - :offtopic: , just wondering. I'll stop with the annoying multiple posts now. I've hit 15. Thanks for still reading.

So, I think the point in all of this....

It was a 42 instead of a 40.

....for the original intended purpose, lining some things doesn't work out. The liner in the coat I posted is really fantastic, though. I just wish.....

But, I'm originally from northern Maine and what I know is that a lot of the old guys wore a long john shirt with a t-shirt, then a flannel shirt over that, then a vest, then the coat. So, I guess......

(pardon me, boosting my post count)......and I've wondered why they don't put a liner in it. It's a great coat, but it would be AWESOME with a liner.

Thanks for the info. I've been thinking it's the unoiled style. Seems pretty rugged, really. What filson decides to line and not line kind of baffles me. I have a mackinaw cruiser.......

bump for a good thread!

How many posts before I get my PM status?

Well, I see I'm in the right place - the land of the big headed filson wearing men. I measure in with a 7 5/8 noggin. My kids look like pumpkins mounted on toothpicks! I tried it on again today and I think I've decided to dump it. Nothing against the coat, it's more against my shoulders...

I think I may have found something pretty similar..... http://cgi.ebay.com/Filson-Men-Sz-40-Tin-Cloth-Packer-Coat-Style-61N-USA-NR_W0QQitemZ110479658144QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_CSA_MC_Outerwear?hash=item19b919cca0

No, Papa M, I shaved off my handlebar mustache years ago! lol

Oh, and I'll let you know if I decide to sell.

Yeah, it has a built in wool liner. I think it's a size 40. I'm a 42 usually and this fits like every 40 I've ever tried on. I'm 5'11, 190 lbs and it's a tiny bit tight in the shoulders. It does have a tiny snag in the back, but, you know, it's a filson. I'm bummed - the Filson store here...
