The Thursday Buy: Add a Winning Layer for Shoulder Season with this Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket

Relwen men's jacket review.

There’s plenty to look forward to across autumn: The delightful fall foliage, the comfort of a roaring bonfire, a crisp, cool morning breeze accented by a treasured cup of joe.

What can you wear to take on all of those pursuits and then some, carrying you with style and functionality from point A to point B and parts unknown? One of the best, most rugged fall jackets should pass muster, an especially apt addition to your wardrobe if you value utility, military heritage and modern style — of course, that’s where Huckberry comes into play.

Perhaps you know where I’m going with this one, as Huckberry fan favorite Relwen delivers the goods in impeccable fashion once again this shoulder season. And its the Huckberry-exclusive edition of the Relwen Quilted Thermal Tanker that claims the top prize today on this menswear blog, drawing on decades of past inspiration while using modern fabrication for hard-wearing appeal, my friends.

You’ll find it on full display in all its glory within the Huckberry Fall Style section at the moment (alongside other must-haves like a trusty Shinola watch, versatile Flint and Tinder selvedge denim and hard-working Rhodes Footwear boots). All make for a fine fall #OOTD, particularly a jacket inspired by tough-as-nails styles worn by armored vehicle crews in World War II, as Huckberry notes.

The brand updated the fit, exterior fabric and padded insulation on this new version of the Relwen Quilted Thermal Tanker, which also features a highly appealing autumnal Dark Brown color, accented by visually appealing camo-patterned insulation.

Details like an oversized chest zipper pocket, plus front side seam hand pockets and a right chest pocket flap-snap pocket, bolster the plentiful everyday carry utility of one of the best fall jackets for men. Its use of black oxidized copper-plated brass snap hardware for a snap-front closure is mighty useful, at least in my experience, while its zipper is finished off with a leather pull tab for a dash of utility and eye-catching good looks.

Yessir, did Huckberry and Relwen think of everything — or, seemingly everything — in designing the Relwen Quilted Thermal Tanker? Color me impressed, I’d say, as wrist snaps finish things off for a perfectly tailored, customizable fit.

The only thing better might be layering up with a Relwen thermal shirt or long-sleeve polo, both options which work as seamlessly at the beer bar as they do on the road or on a cabin front porch. You’ve got options in spades thanks to the Huckberry fall gear lineup on deck right now, this handsome Relwen jacket very much included — as ever, we’ll see you out there, my friends.
