I know it is quite common to sew new bottoms on Filson bird pants. However, in the past ten years or so, I seem to have outgrown more bird pants than I have worn out. My original Duxback pants are about worn out, but they won't fit me either, so I don't have to worry about the bottoms. When I was a "Filson Company Man", I bought some stuff under the employee program, most notably a pair of uninsulated bird boots for about $75 when the retail was around $275. I can't believe I didn't buy some 6" boots or shoes under the same program. They allow two pair a year as I recall. Filson introduced some tin shorts about ten years ago or so. I bought a pair under the employee discount. What a pair of shorts. I wish I had bought nine pair. Linda hates them. She wants me to look presentable at all times, even in the bush. Now they are out of the catalog. However, I am on the lookout for someone with bird pants they want to throw away that I can make shorts out of. 38 or 40 would be a good size. To simplify, I would like to find a pair of Filson tin pants that someone isn't using any more that I can convert to shorts.
