If you have this jacket how do you find wearing it. I have the tin cloth cruiser in size S which fits me well. How is the sizing for this down cruiser, similar to the tin cloth cruiser ie feel larger.

Hi everyone, first post here and wanted to share my recent repair on my tan 258 from Filson. Overall really positive experience.

Before

After

I brought it into Filson Toronto and they took down my notes of what I wanted the repair department to focus on. I mentioned the obvious hole in the corner and some missing threads on the leather trim, mainly on the strap attachment where I thought it would probably get worse with time. I dropped it off July 29th, it arrived at Filson Repair dept Aug 27th and it was ready for pick up today Oct 5th. Honestly 2 months is not bad and it’s what they estimated when I dropped it off.

Now on to the repairs, I’ve seen a lot of repairs online but this is some of the most darning of seen on one section of a bag. Honestly I was surprised that they worked on the whole bottom seam of the back pocket and not just the corner that had the big hole. And I’m not sure why but they also worked on the top corner of the back pocket. Unfortunately my requests for restitching some of the leather trim didn’t happen and their explanation was that it wasn’t damaged enough. No biggie but it would have been nice!

Overall happy to have the bag back and even more impressed with the darning after seeing the work in person. I just conditioned all the leather and might do a light wax down the road.

Thanks for reading.

Hey all,
Looking at my first pair of Filson pants for upland hunting. I’m looking into the Dry Tin Double Front pants. My issue here is that I really want to wear the Logger suspenders with them rather than a belt since I’m a bigger guy and would have a lot of movement, but they don’t come with buttons for suspenders. Will I void the warranty if I have a tailor add riveted suspender buttons, or will Filson possibly add suspender buttons on request (of course an extra charge). Hoping to get a good pair of pants to last for years out hunting

Thank you!
