[Shorttime]

I like the green, but I looked at my closet and realized my wardrobe was starting to look like that of a park ranger.

Park Rangers know how to dress for any weather condition. So, you're making good choices.

I have one of their cattle baron vests, it's thick & warm, but definitely a loose scratchy fabric.
I wish they were using Pendleton wool, but it's still good quality all things considered.

Mrs Horsewright has a Filson on here:

We don't make them anymore but Sporting Classics magazine said we made the best wool vests on the planet period. a few shots:

We used a Canadian melton wool. Melton wool has been boiled and this tightens and intertwines all the fibers so you have a much denser weave that other types of wool. Mrs Horsewright handmade all these and she was really specializing for awhile in the very LARGE sizes. She mad a 5XLT for a guy in Montana. The parts took up out whole 8 ft dining table.

I have quite a few Pendleton shirts and I find them much more scratchy then may be they should be. A lot of cowboys wear sweaters instead of wool shirts. Usually a softer, warmer wool with less restriction, binding:

Sadly Filson isn't what they used to be, and their vests don't come in a size that would fit me right anyways so I can't remember buy an older example on eBay either.
