The features that I like about this design include the tandem side pockets, the mid breast slash hand pockets, the large radius on the pocket on the pocket flap corners, the partially concealed placket, the gusseted shoulders and waist, and the large full game pouch. This coat fits where it needs to around the shoulders yet offers plenty of room for movement. It's almost boxy through the middle, kind of like a good wader length coat. Heavy metal snaps and zippers are not friendly to the wood stocks of fine guns. Filson seemed to know this as all of their hunting coats had covered (one handed snaps) on pockets and favored buttons to zippers. Now that Filson is run by a fashion designer, the wisdom of many of these designs seems to have been lost. Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of Filson and happy that they've survived largely intact, but wish they had more competition.

They should have purchased it. LL Bean would not put one on back order when I talked to them nor was the person sure they would be carrying it in the future. I did purchase the one from Vintage
Well post a pic of you in it out in the field!!! I'd love to see it!
