Care

How do I clean a Mackinaw wool garment?

Professionally dry clean only, with a reliable dry cleaner you can trust. Point out any spots or stains so your dry cleaner can treat them properly.

DO NOT machine wash, even in cold water, because wool can shrink unevenly or dramatically.

What should I do if my Mackinaw wool garment gets wet?

Allow wet wool garments to dry at room temperature, away from direct heat and sunlight. Let any mud dry, and then brush off. Always brush with the nap of the fabric, not against it.

How do I properly store a Mackinaw wool garment?

 Hang correctly: Use a hanger that fits, preferably a shaped or padded hanger. Set the garment properly on the hanger. Hang pants with the pant legs aligned to keep the creases straight.

Hang your wool clothes where they can breathe; avoid overcrowding. Empty the pockets to avoid straining pocket seams that could cause misshaping.

To prevent uneven or unnatural color fading, avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight. Even so, being a natural fabric, it is common for wool garments to fade over the years. Some colors naturally fade faster than others; Blue/Black plaid usually fades the fastest.

Filson wool garments have NOT been chemically treated to repel moths. To prevent moth damage, dry clean before storing, to remove the odors that attract moths. Place mothballs, flakes, or crystals where your wool garments are stored. If using moth crystals, do not hang garments in plastic garment bags, as the chemicals in the moth crystals may cause the plastic to melt and damage your clothes. Although the smell of cedar is repellent to moths, cedar balls or chips alone do not guarantee that your wool clothes will be safe from moth damage.

Refresh wool clothes by hanging in a steamy bathroom. The steam helps remove wrinkles. Hang wool garments in a well-ventilated area for a day or two to dissipate the smell of mothballs or crystals.

FAQ

Why is your Charcoal color offered in 24 oz. Mackinaw wool, instead of 26 oz. Mackinaw wool, like your other colors?

As Filson has introduced new colors to their Mackinaw wool fabrics, such as Charcoal, they chose to stock only 24 oz. Mackinaw wool, not 26 oz., because they can offer a wider variety of styles in the 24 oz. Since the Style 110 Mackinaw Cruiser is strong seller, they felt that it would be wise to offer it in their popular color Charcoal, even though the fabric is 24 oz. and not 26 oz.

What do you mean when you say 100% virgin wool?

100% virgin wool is virgin because it comes straight from the sheep, not trimmings or leftovers recycled from the processing of other wool fabrics.

This allows Filson to use the longest fibers to weave fabrics, which is important because longer fibers are inherently stronger than shorter fibers. This makes it unnecessary for Filson to blend synthetic fibers such as nylon or polyester into their wool to make it stronger.

Thus, Filson believes their 100% virgin wool is more resilient and long lasting than wool blends, and you get the full benefit of the wool fibers working for you.

How warm is your 26 oz. Mackinaw wool? Do you offer a temperature chart for your Mackinaw fabrics?

Filson does not offer a temperature chart for their Mackinaw fabrics because their warmth will differ from one person to another, depending on a person's metabolism, and other factors. What Filson can tell you is that their 26 oz. Mackinaw wool is one of the warmest fabrics offered in a garment: This is why Filson uses it to make so many of their garments, hats, caps, and even their Style 902 Highlander Boots. You will see it perform most effectively when worn as part of a layering system that may include long johns, shirts, and a sweater or vest.

Is Mackinaw wool water repellent?

Wool fabrics are naturally water repellent, and more importantly, retain heat even when wet. 100% virgin wool will absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture without becoming damp or clammy.

How noisy is wool in the woods?

Wool is very quiet: It doesn't make noise as you walk through brush or ground cover, which is greatly valued by hunters in particular.

What are your most popular colors in 26 oz. Mackinaw wool?

Filson's most popular color in 26 oz. Mackinaw wool is Charcoal, followed by Red/Black and Forest Green.
