I have worn a Folsom softshell (schoeller fabric) on every single big game hunt I've been on the last 5 years.

Did wear some double tin pants chasing elk in the rainforest a couple years (I rather be wet)

Just wore my Mackinaw on a successful moose hunt Thursday.

But I don't wear anything else or there's and have no intent. I did snag a button up shirt to wear to wedding. Returned it the day after. The damn shirt was $150.
Yeah. I just couldn't justify $150 for a button up shirt. I get my flannel shirts for $20 at Larsens (local store) and so far they've made it 5 years and counting without issue. I hear those double tin pants are pretty tough, and wear your skin out as much as they deflect brambles and brush. All this being said, I'd still really like a short lined cruiser jacket. I like them a lot. I dont' like that they don't have an inside pocket or a chest pocket big enough for a cell phone.

Filson is absolutely beyond a doubt no longer a hunting, outdoorsman, etc brand. They are targeting fake Chicago type urbanites who take “outdoorsy” trips up to WI and want to “look the part”.

No different than the uppity, snobby REI crowd who look appalled when i tell them im buying some sort of gear to actually use while hunting. It’s astounding how many people walk around that store wearing $400 down puffy jackets but the extent of cold they suffer is the walk from their Tesla to the store and then back again. Those are the same people also buying Filson now when they go to Door Cty in the fall to be “outside” as they walk from store to store in Fish Creek.
