BTW, I take it that people who are ordering the Trucker jacket are familiar with just how incredibly tin-like Filson's tin cloth is? I mention this as my tin Packer coat is starting to break in after almost ten years of being used for serious heavy-duty workwear, and my guess is that while his jacket looks uber-cool, it'll be pretty unwearable as a casual jacket. Just thought I'd mention this unless ppl buy this thinking it'll have drape and be comfortable!

I sure hope it's heavy duty because I plan on wearing the **** out of it. My concern was that it wouldn't be tough enough since the fabric is only 8.5oz.

I think this is a pretty accurate depiction of the fit and fabric of the jacket, with a photo of some worn in tin cloth:

Same here. I also hope the fabric is as wind-resistant as the description claims. If so, I can wear this throughout the winter. Also, the fabric is 12.5 oz. as per the Filson description.

Interesting. I was going by what was in their catalog booklet.

raven37457 · Aug 10, 2010

A discrepancy to say the least.

Rompson · Aug 10, 2010

Also looks like the jacket in the catalog has a red tab whereas the actual jacket has a white Levis tab.

Tried on a L today in-store and it felt like a "typical" M to me. Didn't get a chance to try a XL.

I could've sworn I saw someone wearing the Type III the other day in Berkeley. It really caught my eye b/c it was so novel and I liked it instantly.

And now I see it's sold out

.

The type 3 jacket will let you choose L and XL but the cart reflects that they're sold out now. Somebody post pics and impressions when they get it in.

My stuff shipped so it looks like we don't have to worry about them pulling some "order canceled" **** for people who used the coupon codes.

Seafinch · Aug 11, 2010

Mine shipped too... now I just hope it fits.

PeterParker · Aug 11, 2010

Gah! Still waiting for mine to ship. *fingers crossed*

muffinman · Aug 11, 2010

If anyone receives a large in the filson jacket that doesn't fit I will gladly take it off your hands!

MinnesotaNice · Aug 11, 2010

saw the jacket in-store today and it definitely fits small. I usually wear small or XS, and the small was too tight across the chest and too short on the arms. Fabric felt very dourable, although not particularly comfortable as a result.

Got ship confirmation on my shirt tonight, looking forward to checking this one out when it arrives. Hope the fit is ok.

Definitely full canvas only

Half canvas is fine

Really don't care

Depends on fabric
