Filson Tin cloth shooting Jacket. XL.

[Bushmeister]

Hi All,

I got this Filson shooting jacket for a complete steal on evil-bay for £60 posted. (Cost over £250 to get from America) It was such a bargain I took a punt at the sizing, because I am normally a large not an XL, and couldn't resist.

Unfortunately it is a little too large for me (I'm 5 9, 44 inch chest and 13.5 stone), so needs a new home. It has never been worn - just tried on and comes with labels attached etc. It is a Filson, so probably doesn't need me to tell you about build quality/indestructibility etc. etc.

Ideally, I am looking for a fur felt hat i.e Akubra. Am 57cm head size. Obviously swaps will be for £60 value items, but will consider anything really.

Cheers,

BM.

Jacket anyone? Layered over a bit of choice wool - perfect for winter!

Could well be interested - what other sorts of thing are you looking for Bushmeister?

 

[Bushmeister]

Hi Red!

Um pretty much anything outdoorsy really. Any Cegga axes going spare (seriously just a joke, just lusted after them for yrs). No, anything considered - I make knives in my spare time, so apart from axes, sharps aren't really required....

Cheers,

Rich

Hmmmmm got a lovely Wetterlings mini belt axe....imported, reprofiled and re-finished helve by me, custom mask with belt hook by Singtek.....

Only surplus because I now have a Lee Reeves.

Its a great little axe and completely unused other than being properly profiled and finished. A better axe than the GB mini in my view (more comfortable helve and broader bit)

Nice Axe! PM sent!

 

[Dougster]

Sorry, didn't realise I'd got into bidding against Hugh. I'll stand aside for now with a keen interest to take over if you bail BR.

 

[British Red]

Not at all Rich, if you have something to offer, please, offer away - Bushmeister can decide which is the better offer

Thanks Dougster and Red for your Generous offers! Red, that Axe is just too tempting - your offer is accepted!

Thanks everyone,

BM

Red, if when it arrives it isn't for you Sir........

 

[British Red]

If it doesn't work for any reason Dougster, I'll pm you no problem. I'm hoping to be able to fit it with one of their recoil pads for shooting. May have to talk nicely to someone in the US tgo get one though

 

[Dougster]

Hmmm, recoil pads. I'll just be a little sore in the shoulder this time tomorrow.....

Shotgun? .

Great Jacket to whoever gets it.
Unfortunately the wrong size for me, would of been good with my filson tin cloth pants

 

[Dougster]

Shotgun? .

Pigeon worrying. Got a couple of pheasants on the farm we are allowed to shoot, but the pigeons gave us a wide berth.

Only shot each barrel once and have no shoulder ache at all.

Sorry Dougster...if fits perfectly....and a mate in the US is sending me a recoil pad


Good trade - thanks Bushmeister!
