Thanks for making this. All the other videos I found are basically just a Filson commercial and don't talk about how it actually performs in cold weather.
1st off I want to say that your Channel is awesome. I live in SW Indiana, so I don’t get to see or experience what you do. I own this jacket as well, but it is in green. I bought mine in 1982, and still wear it every Winter. I bought mine, because as a kid I grew up with my father wearing one; his was solid red. I guess where I’m going with this is that they are expensive, but will last a lifetime.
thx for the review. I use mine while fly fishing/hunting in winter, autumn and early spring here in Sweden with temperatures ranging from -15 degrees celsius and up til +10 degrees Celsius and the jacket has never failed me!
Thanks for watching Jonas! What fish species do you fish for in Sweden? Over here in northern B.C we got a lot of rainbow trout, lake trout, pike and my favourite steelhead!
The Mack Cruiser was my gateway into a whole bunch of other Filson's. It's a shame where the company is going, but get the US made stuff while it's around.
Hi Brother, I just came across Your channel as I've been watching some tree felling videos. I truly enjoy Your videos and I also have the same Filson jacket and vest, they sure are warm!! You have a very calming and peace filled Spirit, Thank You for sharing Your videos and many Blessings to You and Your Family!!
You will be credited for inventing the grouse pocket. I had no idea that back pocket was so spacious. Greetings from Seattle! I just acquired a vintage Filson Double Mackinaw Cruiser. It has double layers of wool in the sleeves and shoulder (in the form of a cape). Super cozy.
Nice review Brother. I'm looking at maybe getting one. It's good to hear it holds up in the cold and can handle hard work. Glad you showed the coat in action.
Looking at buying this jacket myself. I was on the fence until you mentioned you were a fellow Canadian, but now I’m convinced. Hopefully this will get me through the coming Alberta winter.
Really nice review! Bravo!! I have seen a few and this was the most realistic one :) I got my jacket today, happy that the xs is suiting a light framed gal as me, and I will use it to walk the dog downtown and in the woods or the fields too. Same wind happens, some rain too, so it was a thought choice. The back pocket is super, I got a soft wool collar in quite the same color (charcoal) to match on and the collar and the hat both fit greatly in that backpocket. I am a cold suffering person, layering is my first way to combat shivering but walking the dog can make you warm, so the breathability of the wool seems to be a smart choice.
Hey Elliot, Looks like a great jacket. They should give you one for the excellent review. Whereabouts are you up north? I know you are a ways inland, not sure where. I see your Bass in the background you are a man of many skills. Cheers from Vancouver Island.
@@ElliottOutdoors Hey Elliot, I was just doing a bit of research about your neck of the woods way up there in behind the panhandle. What a beautiful and wild place....most people know nothing about the Stikine River valley. I also just read this awesome study about the Tahltan River Steelhead! I'd love to see you do some content featuring your traditional territory showing us the sights and telling us what they are! You've got the photography and editing down and you are a very articulate, knowledgeable and likeable character. People all over the internet want to engage in authentic cultural and natural experiences. I think your channel could be huge. Just wanted to pass that along. Are you on FB?
@@allancrow134 Thanks Allan! That is a great idea I will do that this spring and do a video on all the amazing spots we have in the territory and talk more about the Tahltan culture! Add me on FB Allan and you can find me on instagram as well. The link is in the about section.
@@ElliottOutdoorsHey Bro, I can't find your FB link, there is another 'Elliot Outdoors' from Maine, USA. You can find me on FB just search for Allan Crow in Sooke or Victoria BC. You'll know it's my page when you see the cover photo of my fishing vessel 'Raven', it's a well maintained 40 ft cedar plank salmon troller(built-in 1968). I've got some pretty good pictures of some big salmon and Hali on there you might like. When you have a minute send me a friend request. that would be really cool.
I appreciate the review. You did a good job, thank you. I know you mentioned in the video that the wall can be irritating to your skin, And this is the biggest reason why I haven’t gotten this jacket yet. I like to wear T-shirts most of the time as I usually get hot, I would be worried that it would rub on my arms and skin, the exposed skin and irritate me or make me itch all the time. I know you said you can wear a long sleeve shirt etc. but I’m not a fan of those because I get hot. So let me ask, does it irritate your skin or make your skin very itchy? Or is it minimal?
I recently obtained one of these on Ebay. From what I've learned about deciphering label, I think it was made in 2012. But, the cuffs only have one button, not two like I expected. Any insight as to why?
If it is a double Mackinaw Cruiser then the cuffs only have one button according to other reviews I have seen. If you look at the back of the jacket is there a cape that goes from shoulders to under the shoulder blades? That would be a double.
I called Filson & had them ship me a bunch of their buttons & just paid about $12 for a tailor to sow them on my double mac sleeves. The regular cruiser always has two buttons per sleeve to cinch it up tighter

That’s awesome man. I got the Filson wool vest too and it goes good together. Thanks for watching!

Glad it was helpful!
One of my favorite jackets I have. Absolutely love it. Had it for seven years now and still looks and feels brand new.
Yes great jacket for sure!
Indeed!!!
I had the double makinaw - took me 20 yrs of hard use to wear it out. Good stuff.
Great review, practical advice, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Great stuff Elliot. Please do more Filson reviews ;) Greetings from Germany
Thanks for watching Michael! Will do.
Nice review Brother. I'm looking at maybe getting one. It's good to hear it holds up in the cold and can handle hard work. Glad you showed the coat in action.
Yes I am surprised how tough and well made the jacket is! Let me know when you get one! Thanks for watching David.
Catch some Spring Steelhead for us. I like the videos. Keep them coming.
For sure Steven! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review and sharing your experience. I've been waffling on getting one but your review convinced me to make the purchase.
This jacket is great! Thanks for watching!
Excellent Review, Thanks.
Looking at buying this jacket myself. I was on the fence until you mentioned you were a fellow Canadian, but now I’m convinced. Hopefully this will get me through the coming Alberta winter.
Layer up if it gets down to -40C. The jacket is great and tough! Thanks for watching Matthew.
Great review thank you

Hey Allan thanks for watching! I live in the Dease lake area way up northern bc.

It’s minimal foley. The wool kind of breaks in after awhile and softens right up. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Love mine
I like that jacket, I'm saving to get one. How much was the vest?
Nice! You won’t regret buying wool. The vest was about $150 USD I think.
How is the sizing? I would like to get it right the first time ordering. I’m 5ft9, 210lbs with a gut
Sizes are a bit bigger so lots of room to layer up

If you have a problem with the collar rubbing your neck buy a Buff. Problem solved 😉
great review...thanks for posting this!!
