I must comment on at least a dozen or more items of yours, including the double mac and several vest. This morning it was finally cool enough to put on my 12-year-old wool vest. I teach at the University of Missouri, and before my first 8 am class I had at least five people tell me how nice my vest was. When I work in Chicago I'd always receive compliments about my double mac, so thanks for your great products. You don't need to embellish them with your logo like so many other companies. The quality speaks for itself.

My brother gave me a Filson Double Mackinaw Cruiser as a Christmas present when he learned I was taking up deer hunting in 1985. At the time I didn't know about C.C. Filson Company's reputation for manufacturing the finest outdoor garments in the world.

Northern Maine winters are hard on wildlife which means deer density isn't great. Hunters must spend entire days in a field in harsh conditions to ensure success. Without world class garments you can't stay in a field long enough to bag a buck. Filson's Double Mackinaw Cruiser kept me "warm as toast" and "dry as a bone" no matter the weather. It is the perfect garment for stand hunting, stilling hunting and tracking in northern climates.

After nearly 20 years of service, my Double Mackinaw Cruiser still looks like new. I'm sorry to say that I've put on a few pounds so it no longer fits. I'm delighted to report that it's been passed on to my 15-year-old son. He'll enjoy it for many years and then...who knows.

I was attacked by an enraged bull. I was hit hard and thrown up about 15 feet, tumbling head over heels. I landed in front of the bull who then butted me, rolling me to my back and running over me, planting his left foot squarely on my upper chest. When he stomped on my chest I was certain that he would crush it and my heart and lungs. Amazingly, my only injuries were a broken sternum and some subluxed ribs and clavicle joints. Quite sore but alive! Next day I cleaned the muddy hoof print off the left upper chest surface of the coat I had been wearing...my FILSON TIN CLOTH PACKER COAT. I feel that the almost armor-like quality of the caped part of that coat probably saved my life.
