Filson Mackinaw Vest, sz 40, used, 100% wool, dk green

SPF
$55 shipped CONUS. Used, but in excellent shape. There is an abrasion hole on hem between right-hand pocket and side seam (picture below). Remember, Filson has a lifetime warranty on their products. (Does that sound familiar to you Busse or Swamp Rat fans in the crowd? Well, Filson is the Busse of outdoor clothing!) If the hole bothers you, simply send the vest in and they will fix it.

Filson size 40 is somewhere between a size Small and Medium, near as I can tell. I wear Medium and it's just a bit small on me.

The first picture is from the Filson webpage for Mackinaw Vest. I find the same pocket layout on my other Filson vests quite handy, especially the pencil pockets on the left chest for a pocket ruler, calipers, pens, etc.

Filson Cruiser Vest (model # 008), khaki Tin Cloth, sz 40, used

$55 shipped CONUS This is a spare Filson Cruiser vest that is feeling abandoned in my closet. It is used and has been washed. It is in overall very good to excellent shape. There are some *VERY* minor stains on pocket & placket (see pics below). It used to have an organization's name embroidered on the left chest, which I removed one rainy afternoon when I was seriously bored. ;) This vest still has a lot of milage in it, so take it into the woods or brush and give it the tough love that Filson products thrive on. As their motto says, "Might as well have the best".

  • 5 snap front opening, V-neck, no collar
  • Grommet on upper left for lanyard (any instrument tethered to the vest)
  • Rear Cruiser pocket extends halfway up the back, accessible from either side, snap closure
  • 2 front cargo pockets with snap flaps
  • 2 open chest pockets, left pocket is divided into 4-slot pencil pocket
  • 2 open pockets inside front, snap closure
  • Made in USA

These two vests are still looking for a home where they'll see some use, instead of the inside of my closet. There is a lot of milage still left in these vests, each of which is in excellent overall condition.
