Filson Mackinaw Wool Vest Review

Customer Ratings:

It's warm, it's made in America, it's durable and easy to take care of, and it looks good with button up shirts. What more could I ask for? It's exactly what I was looking for. Keep in mind though it is dry clean only.

I just received this vest in the mail today and I have to say, it's even better than I expected. I already own a Filson tin cloth Bush Hat and I have long been impressed with its quality and durability. This vest is no exception, it is extremely warm. So warm, in fact, that I could only wear it for a grand total of 60 seconds before having to remove it due to overheating while it was 75 degrees. This is definitely a cold weather vest, which works our very well because I bought it with hiking in the fall and winter in mind. The pockets are well placed and the stitching is top notch. The buttons are large and tight fitting in the slots which I really like.

The only thing I would change if I could, is that I would like to see the cloth being woven wool and not felted wool. That is the only reason I gave this four instead of five stars.

That said, I have a friend that has owned the same vest for twenty something years and it still is holding up well for him. He has put it through its paces while he worked for the National Forest Service and it took everything in stride. I have absolutely no doubt that this vest will outlast me and one day, one of my sons will wear it while working or hunting and find it useful even after all the years of hard use.

If you are looking for a good wool vest that is the best bang for your buck, this vest is absolutely it. Do not hesitate to buy this vest, it will not disappoint.

Best Deals for Filson Mackinaw Wool Vest

I became awear of Filson and their US made quality products a few months ago. I saw this vest at a store & I was impressed with it. I got a grey one that I wear over a long sleve shirt to work. The vest gives me warmth, freedom of movement along with dressing up a shirt & pants in the office. I have gotten a few complements on it by men and women. Main thing is that my wife likes it. It is realy good quality & in time I will probably buy another one. I wish they had it in burgandy.

Honest reviews on Filson Mackinaw Wool Vest

I have two negatives. While it makes a fine outer wear garment say over a hooded sweatshirt it is a bit too stiff for inner wear over a typical permanent-press sport shirt. I don't wear t-shirts so some of the scratchiness comes through too. I really like the hand warmer pockets, but the upper vest pockets should be higher up on the chest.

Very well constructed and durable. And yes, made in America!

I bought this vest for my husband after the one he's had for many many years (probably over 20 yrs) finally died at least I thought it did. He loves to wear a vest especially when he is fishing hunting or just being outside..and I truly think this is the best wool vest that is out on the market....comfortable easy to wear... the saying goes if mamma's not happy nobody's happy! Well it goes also for men!! When they are not happy with what they are wearing, they're like a bear with a toothache
