Where am I claiming the Filson Mackinaw is the most versatile?
And to answer your other question...or actually I would call it an "assumption" because you completely mischaracterized my own words. Nowhere in any of my responses did I refer to you as "metro type" and I invite you to try and prove otherwise. I mentioned the word city dweller many times in regards to the many different types of people who love these mackinaw cruisers and have for over 100 years. The only thing that I guess you could take out of context is suggesting that form over function appeals more to you, but then again I was going off with what you were saying about the Mackinaw. "Underwhelming and rudimentary in regards to the interior seams not being tucked inside". That to me seemed like a form over the incredibly functional Filson Mackinaw.
I'm not really sure what your shooting for here, coming into the most prolific Filson discussion and taking shots at one of the oldest products, and using words like "underwhelming", I imagine Reddit might be a better forum for that, but it's a free country and your welcome to do it. I was pretty respectful in my lighthearted response to you so I'm not sure how I offended you, not my intention.
My earlier apologies still stand. I guess I broke one of the unspoken rules of this venue. I should have realized voicing a personal opinion based on first hand experience, and using that expletive "underwhelming" would have offended the sensibilities of any red-blooded American.
But if you care to know a bit more about what makes for sturdier sewing, feel free to take the 5-10 minutes to talk to a local tailor or seamstress. I think you'll find that it's a lot more than just looking messy. Because at this point, saying other people take you out of context is fast becoming the pot calling the kettle black.
