Reply to Tired of Drivers by MedicalSpecializer

Keep your wits about you and head on a swivel. Never trust a red light and run for your life.

Drivers here are, in my opinion, the worst in the country. The combination of not giving a shit because there are ZERO consequences, narcissism/selfishness, clout chasing, phone gazing, and constant weed smoking while driving is dangerous for everybody.

That was an example of what I do in these pants. I mow, plant, reap, hunt, and play on the property in these pants.

But I see what you’re saying. They are a serious pant. And they will last a very long time.

About the quality of this particular garment; i must respectfully disagree.

Enjoy your night.

While this is true, some things are unchanged in quality. Their bags, their mackinaw wool, and the tin cloth jackets and pants. Among others.

So yes, don’t buy a tshirt or hat if you want “buy it for life” but definitely invest in their tried and true gear.

I agree with you that much of their stuff has gone the way of carhartt and other brands (banana republic, north face etc.).

I will say that a large portion of filsons gear is still BIFL.

Edit: I would also say that Filson and fjallraven are vastly different in their utility. Trekking…tfjallraven. Heavy farm work…filson.

Trekking in tin pants is unbearable. But waxed fhallraven has been with me all over the backcountry for hiking, backpacking, orienteering….

But, I only chop wood in Filson tin cloth and (if the situation necessitates) husky chaps for chainsaws.

Important distinctions.
