Hi friends, I was looking through the threads in the gear review, and read one aboutthe best wool hunting coat...there was a vote for Filson, and I have to agree that my Filson Timber Mackinaw is tops (though I also like my Columbia Monarch Pass jacket and my Cabelas Outfitter Wool). ANYWAY, wanted to let you know that Filson has discontinued its Timber Mackinaw line, so now you can only get it in red/black plaid or solid colors...too bad, it was a seriously good coat.

You might be able to find one on Ebay for a month or so, but I think they are disappearing fast. Just thought I'd let you know.

Also, if you get the Columbia Monarch Pass jacket, think about going with what they call snow camo. It isn't brown and stark white, more of a grayish white and brown, which I think breaks up your pattern more than a pattern with little or no light colors in it. Its not Filson, but its a good value.
