Mcalister gear

[Greenhead22]

Found these in the closet this morning. Bet I've had them over 10 yrs or more. Wonder what they're worth ...... brand new.

After my original mcalister wax coat died on me last year with 10 seasons and probably 5 tins of Filson wax on it I got a Filson green tin field coat. Wouldn't look back or even think about getting the paper thin drake coat.

Crackhead - how's that jacket fit, comfortable to shoot in? Went to order that same coat and the guy said the shoulders aren't articulated and uncomfortable to shoot in? Any problems? Did you order a size up?

Shoots and feels the same. I stuck with a large. Only glaring difference is it 1 3/4 inch longer than the mcalister. But I think it will shrink like the other after some more wadding and getting wet.

What's with the overpriced `old` McAlister gear? Filson much better new, for close to same price.....

[crackhead]

It's really the shell vest that's gone crazy. Coats wise the early mcalister stuff is good. But when drake bought the line it went downhill quick.

Drake screwed everything up. I love my filson wouldn't trade it for anything. I hear harrell & sons is going to producing a nice vest.

just got my shelter cloth waterfowl coat, Hope I am gonna like it, it was a little thinner than I anticipated. Finally had to see what all the hype was bout. It was time for a new coat anyway. Lost #136 lbs. my old stuff was just a tad to big.

Any news on that stuff yet? Back in August/September they said they were gonna have a full run soon, but haven't heard anything else

The Filson waterfowl was too light for my tasteand was snap front instead zipper. The one I liked best features-wise only came in tan. Going to miss the front load and around back game pockets, but the green tin ought to do the trick.

They have sold out of the first two runs of bags and are expecting to get the third run in shortly. The waxed canvas wading/shell vests should be available very soon as well.

About the best way to keep up with what they have in on their facebook page.

My name came out of the hat for one of the first run bags. It is solid and I'd recommend it. I also have Filson gear. The quality is comparable. The H&S bags are $155 + s&h.

I've got two Filson Waterfowl/Upland jackets that I love. I also have a bunch of other filson products (bags, overalls, pants) and they are all solid. Also have a Barbour jacket but more for wearing around town, camp and such. Don't really wear it hunting. Can't go wrong with either brand
