Default Wool Coat

I need a new wool coat/jacket for outdoor use, tracking, winter camping, etc. Anyone know a place to get a good deal on one?

Ya figured Filson would be popular. Didn't really want to spend that much, but I guess it'll last forever. Any dealers in Edmonton?

Check wholesale. They used to have a small selection of Filson and Woolrich. Probably better off just ordering online though.

Top wool you will get is Swandri!! Love mine! Amazing jacket!! I find it by far the best for blocking the wind and is good and warm.

I have been wanting one of them for some time now...they are really nice for hunting. A friend used one...

But on a side note Filson is awesome and if you ever have any issues send it back and they will treat u right...I wore a tiny hole in my packer coat and they sent me a brand new one....

Filson is nice but totally unaffordable. Godet was just as good, but they closed their doors 10 years ago. I think a US outfit has their patterns... Best bang for your buck is LLBean. Nice stuff, extremely durable and affordable. I buy all my clothes through them online.

What ever you choose you should be able to get a good deal from the U.S. on Black Friday. Montana Army and Navy is a Filson dealer.

Out of curiosity, I looked up Codet Clothing and they are still open. My mom worked for them for years. They made awesome cloths...same quality as Filson. They are now under the BiG Bill umbrella in the us. They make all wool pants, jackets....you name it!

Thanks! Just ended up getting a deal on a Filson Double Mackinaw from them. 300 all in with shipping. Hope it fits, had to send it from their Regina store.
