I tried on the Bemidji North Shore Double Back/Front jacket when I bought my Bemidji Voyageurs Jac Coat. The former is not a double in the sleeves like the Filson Double Mackinaw. I was impressed by the latter's 30 oz. 100% virgin wool fabric.
I looked at the Cabelas Woodsman Coat and thought it was pretty good for what is now $130 on sale. The fabric is a little heavier than the Filson but it doesn't seem to be as tightly woven.
Jackfish, the Bemidji North Shore doesn't have the double sleeves, but isn't it basically made out of the same thickness material as the Voyageur's coat except double clothe both front and back? I thought both jackets used 30oz material except that the blaze orange is 100% wool and the colored stuff is 85%. I could be wrong though.
