Anybody got some Filson tin cloth trousers ?

[Paullyfuzz]

I quite like the idea of getting some of the tin cloth trousers. Can you get Filson in the UK ?
Are there any others trousers that are really hard wearing ?

Salad of this parish has a pair for sale.

Have a look at cactus clothing in NZ, tough as old boots!

The ones Salad had are sold. Way too big for me anyway unfortunately.

I had a pair of tin clth pants/trousers - dry. They lasted very well. I had a connection in the states back then, not sure if I would pay the full price + shipping for them today.

I have a pair. Tough as you like, but being waxed cotton I found them a bit sweaty for UK temperatures.

These are on sale at Kakadu http://www.kakaduaustralia.co.uk/acatalog/4P13_Walk-about-pants.html

I think oilskin is very similar to tin cloth.

They only have small or XL left though.

I have had good service from those people in the past.

Another vote for Cactus. If you want something hardwearing and a bit softer (i.e. wearer friendly) Arborwear make some really nice trousers.

Cactus would be nice, but stretching my budget at over £100

Is there a UK firm that sells trousers that are on a par with Cactus/ Filson ?

Have a look at Tamarack they do / did Filson stuff

Also had a few pairs of trousers on the sale rail last time I was up there

Worth a phone call
