Europe Filson
Hey Andy, this is kinda cool: http://mistercrew.com/blog/2009/10/10/filson-italy-black-label-fw2009/
A line of goods for Europeans that we're not privy to here in the states? I suspect some of these are built in Europe. Cool stuff and something to think about.
I'm thinking a large would work in that style. I forgot that you lived in Europe, Andy. That makes returns a big pain. I know that you can contact customer service and get measurements for any of their builds. When I called them, they were able to give me precise measurements on several...
Andy, I sent Filson an email and requested a full range of samples. They sent everything in both dry and oil and it helped out a lot. Your size might depend on the cut too. I'm 5'11 and 200lbs with a 43 inch chest and I have a large Tin Cruiser and it's ever so slightly short in the arm...
Dav, I cannot offer any reason not to get steerhide. If I were in your shoes, I'd have a hard time deciding. I'm fairly influenced by what all the other Loungers prefer and have come to conclusion that the FQHH might be the greatest thing since petrol. However, Will’s heavy steerhide is under...
FL members are indeed the best...
Spot on, Hepville. This place is like a custom jacket think tank. Talk about taking the matter seriously! With the passion and experience of all these members, one cannot go wrong.
You guys are great and thanks for sharing. It helps all of us in...
Vests are great
Navin, great fit you got on this vest. Vest's are great. I got a few in wool from Filson and I'm hooked on them now. I've got one in the works that I'm planning with Dave at Langlitz in leather of course... More to come on this later ;^)
Cooperson, this is an outstanding build John's provided you with. Great to see the others in the thread as well. I like John and and he's on my buy list just after my Langlitz constructions are done.
Tommer, nice! I remember that mid weight brown one from an earlier post. Great patina on that one. I have a few samples of their heavy calf and it is HEAVY.
I've gotten quite a correspondence down with Dave Hanson over the last year and I have a few builds planned out myself. Great...
Peacoat, I haven't been on here in a while and just today I was thinking that one of the regulars was due to get a Vanson last month so I got on here and searched out the post. It's a good fit and some good testimony for Vanson. Thanks for the update.
I have a pair of Wesco's custom built to my foot and have to send them back. I'm sized at a 10.5 EE currently but I think I'm actually a 10.5 EEE. They're a very accommodating company so far. I don't expect to have to pay anything for a rebuild or new pair because I think my measurements are...
Congrats!
Navin, looks good man! congrats, congrats! I knew you were looking forward to this. Love the style of these jackets. Aero pulled it off again...
Get one Griff! I know you've been thinking on a cafe racer for a while. I remember you speculating on a aged Aero steer hide one a while back. The Aero IH will be like that on steroids.
That's great that we an hash the details all out in this thread. It will be a good reference resource...
