    Official Filson Thread - Clothing/Bags Etc

    Edit: I use to wear a longsleeve t-shirt under my coats/jackets most of the time in winter. No layering, no more jackets and pullovers under it. Just a longslleve and a scarf plus gloves. We have slightyl sub zero temperatures here at the moment and that coat keeps me warm and protects me from...

    Official Filson Thread - Clothing/Bags Etc

    OK, got both the Filson All Season Raincoat and the Medium Tin Cloth Field Bag. Short review, pics later: The coat is a good fit on me in size L (44). It definitely IS generously sized/cut, as the Filson site states. First thought it would be a tad big on me and that a size M would have been...

    Official Filson Thread - Clothing/Bags Etc

    Since buying Filson stuff from the US is much cheaper than buying in a German Store I just bought another Filson product, the small tin cloth duffle. Even with pre-paid taxes and duties I save $50 on that bag. Filson stuff is pretty expensive over here.

    After re-measuring my chest it's more a 44" than a 43". Ordered an All Season raincoat in size Large and a Medium Tin Cloth field bag through Hank's Clothing in Binghamton, NY. Will post up a review and pics as soon as delivered...

    Official Filson Thread - Clothing/Bags Etc

    A friend of mine who lives in the US called Filson for me and their customer service rep told him that a size Large would fit me better with a 43" chest and broad shoulders. Another Filson customer service rep finally sent me this via e-mail: "... For your reference, I am including the...

    Official Filson Thread - Clothing/Bags Etc

    @ConcreteFiction: Thanks for your reply. So, you think a size Large would be too roomy? I've fairly broad shoulders and with a chest of 43" shouldn't a size Large (44") fit as well? Problem is I can't try that coat on over here and actually I'm not intersted in an expensive return shipment...

    Hey, guys. I'm about to buy a Filson All Season raincoat, but not sure about sizing. Never had a Filson coat or jacket before, so no idea. Can't try that coat in a shop near me and would have to buy from the US while located in Germany. I would really appreciate your support...

    Been wearing my melton wool Schott 740N pea coat for the last couple month exclusively and love it. Now I received my brandnew Schott 740N Leather Pea Coat and it is just stellar. Heavy as it should be for a leather jacket/coat, warm and windproof, excellent craftsmanship. This thing will last...

    @ ronin2046, I'd say if you can't button all the way up, the pea coat is too small for you and you should try the next bigger size ? I mean those buttons are there for a specific purpose, aren't they? Anyway, in my opinion all this sizing down to get a slim fit is just weird. Those coats...

    Now, that sounds bad. But all the Schott pea coats I've seen so far, mine included, were flawless. And I've been wearing mine intensely for a couple weeks now without any wool getting lost. Buttons are all sewn straight as well. Best coat I ever got...

    The Schott 740N pea coat is insanely warm. Even though temperatures are only a few degrees above freezing point over here in Germany a t-shirt is all I wear with that coat at the moment. Gloves, a beanie, done! And, no idea where you heard about quality issues, but my Schott is a really...

    That's exactly how my Schott 740N fits on me. Not slim-slim-slim and not shapeless. Just like in the pics. Saying that, because some think Schott pea coats have a huge tent-like fit. My athletic build might be an advantage, though...

    MEGA PEACOAT THREAD - 61 threads merged - all Peacoat questions HERE

    @dopke Yes, go with a size 36 if you take a Schott 740N. It has a very thick inner lining, making it really a very warm coat. That's maybe why peopIe say it comes very large. Actually it doesn't, it's just a thick and heavy 32oz coat. Most other pea coats posted here look like 24oz or less and...
