Every man should have an iconic wool jacket in his wardrobe, and this one from Filson is the one to get. Filson uses a long-lasting and warm wool for this jacket that has a tight twill weave that allows it to block wind while also being breathable so it won’t feel stuffy when engaging in outdoor pursuits. Wool is also a great material for jackets because it naturally sheds moisture and will keep you warm when wet. The jacket is also versatile with four handy pockets on the front and a long, large lower pocket in the back for stowing hats and gloves, or a few pheasants during an upland hunt. The front uses buttons to close and also on the adjustable cuffs. It’s sewn in the U.S. and is made from 100% virgin wool.
Satisfied customers almost universally shower praise on this iconic jacket. One shopper loves it so much he said that the jacket is his sole go-to piece of outerwear: “I bought one this fall and I am absolutely in love with it. I basically haven’t worn any other jackets this year.” Another agreed, saying that the jacket “has all the quality of workmanship and materials I expect from Filson—warm, great stitching, great buttons, and looks great too!” One customer also summed it up by saying, "This is, hands down, the best winter jacket I believe you can currently purchase."
Other shoppers liked that the jacket is just as at home in the field as it is out on the town: “What I love the most is its versatility: I can wear it in semi-formal activities, but I can also wear it on the job outside in the rain and snow in western Washington.” Another customer said, “The wool has a decidedly luxe feel to it, which is quite unlike anything I’ve felt. I quite like it.” Others like that it keeps them warm while still “looking sharp” and that it is simply a “sturdy, classic coat.”
If you’ve never tried a high-quality Filson product or don’t have a solid wool jacket in your closet, this jacket is the one to get, especially at this bargain price. It’s an iconic piece that will last for generations, plus is warm, durable, and great-looking—and a seldom-seen 50% off for a total savings of $275, you shouldn’t pass this up as it will undoubtedly sell out quickly.
