SHOP: The Filson Rail-Splitter Jeans in Rinse Indigo
The Filson Rail-Splitter Jeans check all the right boxes as far as great denim is concerned. They retail for a pretty agreeable price compared to designer denim ($165 at Filson), and 14.5oz. cotton denim (in the case of the Indigo variety) should prove hard-wearing and yet not overly heavy. They’re a perfect pair of jeans to start breaking in this winter, too. The straight-leg fit means you can easily wear ’em for work or play, and that’s just the Filson way. The Filson leather rear patch is a distinctive detail that only adds to their appeal. Of course, these are classic men’s jeans to pair with everything from a Filson flannel shirt to a rugged henley and the Filson Mackinaw Wool Cruiser Jacket, for example. But any way you want to wear them, the Filson Rail-Splitter Jeans can pass muster (to say the least).
