Wool vest

[ChuckC]

I like vests.  

I own two Filson vests and a similar wool vest by another manufacturer.  I also own seveal lined or insulated vests.  They kinda went out of style and for the life of me I can't understand why.  They supply warmth, and pockets and do not add bulk on my arms for outdoors stuff.

My opinion of the Filson vests is high.

I have one, too. Great vest.

One thing to watch for: when they say size Large, they mean large. I have kind of an in-between size build. I can usually wear a medium or a large and get by o.k. Not so with Filson. I ordered a wool shirt and the vest, and both were way too big for me. I gave the shirt to my brother, and got some clipon elastic dohickies for the back to give me a nice fit. Should have sent them back for mediums, but I figured I might grow a bit during my aging and it would fit fine. Hasn't happened so far, knock on wood!

Worth every penny........you'll wonder how you ever got along without it....

I owned a Filson vest for 30 years and sold it last year after discovering Ibex wool vests.  Heavy wool with large pockets (inside and out)and certain models zip up all the way to your chin for complete neck coverage.  Like them so well that I own 3 of them.  You can get good prices at the right time of year.

I have the Model 20 and found a zip-in liner vest (looks brand new) at a thrift shop for $4.00!
These are heirloom quality garments. Can't go wrong buying one...or two.

Just got one for Christmas and man am I impressed!!!!
A week ago I didn't know anything about the Filson line and now I don't know what I would do without it!
