Heritage/Preppy: Sz L FILSON Tin Cloth Lined Ranch Jacket

post #1 of 13
Thread Starter 
As always, offers are very welcome--including lowballs!

Please PM with interest and offers!

1) Filson Dry Finish Tin Cloth Jacket, lined in Mackinaw wool.

This is a fantastic jacket, in great condition! I'm only passing this on as I just have far too many coats and jackets, and this one doesn't get the use that it deserves. This is a great jacket for Spring and Fall, being the LINED version (NOT the cheaper unlined style), and so it'll keep you warm even when the evenings are still cool, or even cold. This jacket features:

--6 metal rivet button front closure.
--2 front chest pockets with rivet button flap closures
--2 lower side hand warmer pockets.
--Adjustable metal rivet button cuffs.
--Moleskin lined collar.
--Moleskin lined cuffs
--Filson rivet buttons
--Mackinaw wool lining in the body and sleeves
.

For more information, see here:

http://www.filson.com/products/dry-f...ned.10072.html

This jacket was worn VERY sparingly. It has some minor rub marks from a belt by the waistband on the interior (shown), and a small nickel sized spot on the underside of one sleeve (also shown). Otherwise, this jacket is in EXCELLENT condition!

Like the Filson/Levis collaborations, this is one of Filson's newer--and, to my mind, best--items, still made in the USA to Filson's high standards. These jackets have not yet really entered into the used market, and so they're very, very rare outside new from Filson dealers, even on eBay.

Given this, and given the excellent condition this jacket is in, it's a steal at just $145 > 136 > 129 > 120, OR OFFER, boxed, shipped, and insured in CONUS.

International inquiries are welcome, with shipping at cost!

Tagged a size L, which fits according to Filson 44--BUT my experience and the reviews on Filson's website suggest that Filson's sizing on this jacket is off by one size up, so this would fit 40 (MAYBE 38) to 42 best.

Measurements:

Chest: 23
Sleeve: 24 1/4 (measured from middle of collar -- 35")
Length (BOC): 24 1/4
Shoulder: 19 1/4





Minor marks:



2) Made in California Golden Bear Varsity Jacket

SOLD

There was a discussion on AAAC a while back about these jackets, with people being split over whether they liked them or not. I came down on the "not" side.... Until I saw this one!

Made in California by Golden Bear back when it was a premier leather company a la Schott, this jacket has beautifully soft leather sleeves and a wonderfully soft leather collar. The shell is wool and nylon, as is common in even the better Varsitys--think of Schott and Sterlingwear standard wool-blend peacoats here for comparison--and the cuffs and waist are both striped and nice and tight, with no pilling or stretch. The zipper moves fluidly, and is a heavy-duty YKK.

There are a couple of minor marks on the shoulder and collar, as shown, but otherwise this jacket is in excellent condition.

Please note that the reissue of this jacket is now SOLD OUT, but retailed at $350. See here:

Tagged a L, but would fit around a 42 or 44 best--please see

Measurements:

Chest: 25 1/2
Sleeve: 25
Shoulder: 22
Length: 25

Amazing price for the Golden Bear Varsity. You might try posting it in Streetwear and Denim. It's a beautiful piece. The recent reissues are way way pricy: http://www.unionmadegoods.com/golden...eeves_515.html
