Wool everyday vest

[Jmort1754]

Does anyone wear one ?
Looking at either the Filson western or one of the stormy kromer.
Anyone every used one or have recommendations ?

I have been looking too and am watching this thread now.

Have had a Filson for years. Warm, but heavy. I sometimes use it as layer under Sitka Jetstream. Tend to use it more either bird hunting or non-hunting . With much activity, it can be too warm for me. But I like it, old school and so am I.

I wear a LL Bean guide vest or Johnson Woolen Mills. Similar styles.

Love my Filson. Neck is a bit itchy at first.

Filson. USA made and top quality.

Another vote for Filson, I’ll have it all my life so money well spent.

I also have a couple First Light merino vests, much lighter weight. Doesn’t look as classy but a nice layering piece.

Thanks guys. Looking for more an everyday piece not necessarily a hunting piece.
Got into the wait list for the big boy filson westerner

Wyoming Traders, nice vests. Spouse has one. I have a Filson, not heavy at all.

Second Wyoming Traders. I have a black one and a grey one. I have had lots of complements on being nicely dressed while wearing them. Plus I believe they make CC version now.

FYI the Filson is basically just a cylinder cut. Not much shape or taper to it....like nun. If you're athletic build it's gonna seem weird. I have others that are Western style from Schaefer and Powder River that fit much better. The Filson is just a simple, raw, itchy wool. Floored it cost so much. But I do wear mine through the cold months.

I have the Filson and use it bird hunting. It’s warm and fits me well.

Schaefer's for the win. Have three of their wool vests and love them.

I've only worn the Filson and it is a nice vest.

Wear my filson western all the time.

Filson mackinaw works well over a button up shirt for work.

If you're not stuck on wool, I really like the Carhartt sherpa lined vest. Good over a button up, hoody without restricting movement or feeling too stiff.

Don't think you can beat Filson. Super high quality. Not what I'd wear on BC hunts but everyday wear it's perfect.

I wear my filson liner vest when I have a collared shirt. If no collar underneath, the vest tends to rub raw into the work day. Other than that, it's fantastic.

I own quite a few pieces from Filson and the Mackinaw wool vest is the most versatile piece IMHO. I own the classic V-neck vest, not the Western one. It makes it really easy to layer with and avoids the itchy neck issue. I love it.
