Built from Filson’s 24-oz Mackinaw virgin wool, which is dense enough to shed light rain on its own and warm enough to wear over a single shirt in below-freezing temperatures. The cruiser pattern dates to 1914 and has the original cargo-pocket layout — two roomy bellow pockets at the chest, two at the waist, and a full-width hand-warmer pocket along the back. Lined collar, snap front, made for hard outdoor work.
This is the coat people buy when they’re done buying coats — Pacific Northwest hunters, ranchers, smokejumpers, fishermen, and anyone whose grandfather had one and still wore it. It does best in cold, wet, or windy conditions where synthetic shells get clammy.
Filson has been making the Mackinaw Cruiser in Seattle, Washington since 1914 — same pattern, same wool weight.
