When it comes to things that last, very few make ‘em like Filson does—particularly when it comes to its Tin Cloth outerwear. Better when you can find it on sale. More specifically, two killer colorways of the Tin Cloth Short Lined Cruiser Jacket—a waxed-and-lined weatherproof classic that gets exponentially better with wear—are 40% off their original price tags.
A bit cropped, fully-lined and somewhat reminiscent of a trucker jacket (if a trucker jacket was pro-pockets), the Cruiser is the rare jacket that cuts a nice silhouette and also does jacket-things insanely well. And again, it’s now $210 and built to last you a decade.
For those of you who haven’t already absconded to the product page to grab one, here’s a quick primer on Filson: The brand’s been behind some of the best-looking, hardest-working American menswear (and luggage) since 1897, when they first opened up shop in Seattle. And while you might not know all of the core Filson product’s names, you’ve undoubtedly seen them worn by enlightened commuters all around you—kind of like when you find out you do, in fact, know every song on Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors, despite not owning a copy of Rumors.
And while the totes and duffels are truly excellent, their Tin Cloth outerwear just might be the poster child for the brand’s whole thing. It lasts forever, every style exudes timeless workwear sensibilities, and the aforementioned Tin Cloth is water-resistant, tough-as-bricks and nearly impenetrable. In other words, there aren’t many good reasons for this jacket to be discounted 40%, and yet it is.
Oh, and if you thought the timely savings stopped at practical outerwear, you were mistaken, because Filson has a whole handful of tentpole products—in particular, their heirloom-quality luggage—on sale and ready for years of loyal service.
We’ll level with you: it’s an odd time. But if you’re going to be spending some hard-earned cash, it’s nice to know that whatever you’re buying will last you for ages. And if you’re in the market for a Forever Jacket, there really aren’t many better than the Tin Cloth Short Lined Cruiser Jacket—and at this price, there are basically none.
