you'll have to touch up the high wear areas with the parafin they give you. Elbows, shoulders, and anywhere else that gets flexed or rubbed against. Every now and then a full coating helps. It is easiest to send back to filson, but you can do it yourself on a warm day.
enjoy. I've been using my weekender coat as an all purpose outdoor coat for a bunch of years now. With the heavy wool lining it is an all year coat. It isn't as waterproof as Goretex, but in a drizzle to light rain you'll stay dry. I need to go clean the front of mine as the last time I wore it I was belly crawling through a field to shoot a few hares.
