So I got this today.
It's an oil cloth short jacket and a nice alternative to leather and denim.
I've heard great things about Filson but this jacket doesn't appear to be anything special. The oilcloth is light (compared to Drizabone products) and see-through. To look at this jacket could be a $50 Carhartt rather than the $260 item it is. Despite this I like it well enough and I guess I need to live with it for a while.
I wonder how it will wear since it is very light material. I will need to wear this a bit before I make up my mind. Any one else got one of these?
Note: sizing is neat. I chose an XL and it fits like a standard 42 which is fortunate since that is my size. Just enough extra room for a bit of shrinking if it gets wet (Filson's advice).
