Picked-up a Filson Mackinaw...

[Mr.Magoo]

I'd been looking at Filson's single Mackinaw for a few years now for a bowhunting, outdoors, everything coat.

Was at the local Orvis yesterday and they had the single Mack's on sale for 199.  That was a good price for new, so I went ahead and bought one in Forest Green.

I have a few other Filson items and this one isn't any different.  Top notch.  The cut is also trim enough that it should make a fine bowhunting jacket next fall/winter.

Just passing along the info. on the sale in case anyone was interested.

I'm actually wearing mine today. Best wool coat I've ever owned, and I'm planning on being buried in it.

Filson is the best.

Can't beat Filson

[Lin Rhea]

I wear my Mackinaw vest just about everyday and Wool crusher to match. Cant beat em. The jacket is next.

I have a couple vests that are great.  They look like they will last a lifetime.  I have been looking at those Mackinaw coats for a while, too.  Maybe next year...

I got a used one off the classifieds on here for a good price and couldn't be happier. A little stiffer than some others I have, but the quality can't be beat.

[Hopewell Tom]

I've got a bunch of Filson, heirloom quality.
I'm getting an otter cloth something next . I was in a used clothing store in the Fall and found a zip-in wool vest, like new condition for $4.00! $120.00 value. Gotta get a coat to go with that unit.

I have the double Mackinaw in forest green.  I have taken several deer while wearing this coat including my best deer ever.  I guess it blends in better than I thought it would.  If you wear out one of their wool garmets, you have done something.

Great coats.  I am wearing my black double mackinaw today

When we decided to move to Northern BC my wife asked me what I wanted for a winter coat.  I picked out a charcol Filson Weekender.  With the right layering I wear it all year long.  Had windchills to minus 38 celsius a few weeks back and I wouldn't have traded my Filson for anything.

What is the difference in mackinaw and a double mackinaw?

[larry]

double has an extra cape over the shoulders and upper chest along with doule layer sleeves

[jhg]

I have the Cruiser. Wicked nice coat w/super thick, tough wool.

I love my single Mac. I wear on the worksite if there's no heat.  All those pockets come in handy!

Last year one day I was wearing my doble mac camo, my Filson pants, Filson long johns, Filson wool shirt, my Filson vest and my mukluks from Ely,MN. I thought I would lay back and take the weight off my feet for a spell and I fell asleep. Two hours later the sun was shining in my eyes and I got up to home to get some lunch. I didn't even melt the snow I was laying on.

[YORNOC]

Always wondered, does a double mackinaw pull tight through the shoulders on full draw?  I've seen them and love the double cape...but wondered if it posed a problem with the archers "not normal" shooting position of full draw with elbow high....
From what I'm reading so far...no problem at all?

[Outwest]

I have the double mack in a muted plaid green. Love it, absolutley the best coat I've ever owned.
I can shoot with it on and don't feel any binding at all.

[David Yukon]

it is on my list of things to buy! I have a lot of Filson stuff, and just love it!!

[Kevin Hansen]

I have a Filson vest in black and grey plaid along with a pair of mack pants. The vest is 20 years old and absolutely looks like new yet. The pants are only a couple of years old, but I expect the same out of them that the vest is giving me. Great stuff.
