Cheers. The Filsons look incredible. Designed to last! Thank you!

I mentioned it to the original commenter but I’ll mention it here as well. I got a pair of Filson double tin chaps for upland game hunting and had them in tatters after 3 years. They’re for sure cool looking but if you’re gonna be wading through briars on the regular they will wear out

Many years without being able to wash them?

Not sure I'm keen on that.

If you wear them exclusively doing outdoor stuff, you probably have long johns on so it's not actually touching your sweat.

You can also wash and rewax them.

You can wash them. You can clean them after every use and you can reapply the oil if you decide to thoroughly wash them.
