Ahh, that's right - forgot about that for a second. That's a significant portion of the deal.
SOLD Filson Hat - $9,999 (Half Off MSRP)
- Thread starter Long_Rod_Silvers
- Start date
for the one on my hat rack 
Stonefish is probably sitting on a trove of priceless artifacts! Guy tricks you by picking up and photographing beach trash, meanwhile, he's got the crown jewels like that long billed Fllson just lying around in the spare room....

Or to look very stylish in the field . . .Looks like @Jim F. and I have the pieces to start our own spare room Filson museum.
What you don’t have, I probably do. I’ve been an occasional F guy for 50 years. How about a shortie FF jacket, whipcord cruiser, tin cloth cruiser, foulweather vest, several hats including that long billed job. When my 401k peters out I’ll undercut the op.

Yall are sitting on a gold mine.
I know guys like to bash Filson. Their prices are high (just maybe because it’s US made, at least everything I have) clothes are heavy and often too hot. My first piece was a green wool cruiser (1970) and I wore the piss out of it for a long time, maybe 20 years, until it was thread bare and I got too big. So I left it behind somewhere. Later I bought likely the last whipcord version (lighter and tougher) and a tin cloth one (that is too heavy usually).
I still like the company.

Good thing I sold my hat. Now I can afford a new sweater.
Looks like you can guide the Cedar now.

I'm lucky that I made my purchases way back in the day before one had to finance an article of apparel . . .
Who knew all you needed to be a guide is a $550 sweater?
I'm just here for the Filson bashing. Bastards culturally appropriated my people. My clothing and occupation are not your costume. Fuckers.
Are you Kidding me, Haha
You guys joke. But personally I have great respect for what Filson does.
They are an "expectation setter" company.
If your middle class like me (aka can barely afford to fly fish lol), this is where Filson comes in.
You buy 1 sweater for 550 bucks. Or a flannel for 300 bucks. Leave that receipt where the wife can see it.
Later on, you buy a 300 dollar goretex jacket, or 250 dollar wading boot.
She complains. You mention how great a deal it is compared to that sweater.
She has no leg to stand on, and she'll obviously see the comparative value in what you just bought.
So thank you Filson for helping my marriage.
Ps- is Craigslist or plenty of fish where single folk meet up on nowadays??
