Vintage Filson Oil Finish Tin Cloth Work Vest — Waxed Canvas — Made in USA — Style 10188 — Metal Zip
Description:
Vintage C.C. Filson Co. oil‑finish duck canvas vest with the tan oval label reading:
“A Genuine Filson Garment — C.C. Filson Co., Seattle — ‘Might as well have the best’” in red lettering.
Made in USA.
Style 10188.
The vest is made from Filson’s signature heavy duck canvas saturated with a paraffin wax and oil formulation, often referred to as oil finish tin cloth or waxed canvas.
It features a front metal zip closure, two riveted lower pockets, one slit chest pocket, and a hidden interior patch pocket.
This piece has a nice vintage patina and has been stored flat in a bag for many years.
From my uncle’s estate, original owner (no name mentioned).
Tag notes “Do not wash or dry clean”—these garments are designed to be re‑proofed with Filson’s oil finish wax over time.
Vest originally came with a metal tin of Filson Oil Finish Wax; tin may be available and can be included if located.
