When bone-chilling winter cold hits, where do you go? You go to your favorite brands, companies you can trust when it comes time to get out and about, in spite of inclement weather. Hopefully, you’re also turning to Filson, the century-plus-old heritage outfitter based in the Pacific Northwest and famous for outfitting explorers everywhere. While your own pursuits these days are likely a bit different than old-time prospectors, there’s no denying the next-level warmth and utility of the Filson Double Mackinaw Cruiser, one of the best men’s jackets and a remarkably solid update to the tried-and-true Filson Mackinaw Wool Cruiser Jacket. You’ll find the latest and greatest update to a classic in the never-not-well-stocked Filson New Arrivals section, a perfect place to go as you look to outfit yourself with the best winter menswear. The brand, helpfully, already makes one of the best men’s henleys, not to mention one of the best flannel shirts, so consider this icing on the cake.
That jacket is a personal favorite of mine, with style points aplenty and the kind of warmth and comfort you’ll only find from a brand that builds its gear for the most extreme conditions possible. What sets the Filson Double Mackinaw Cruiser apart from other winter jackets? Well, it helps that Filson has a ton of experience when it comes to crafting menswear and gear for inclement weather. In this instance, that means the Filson Double Mackinaw Cruiser uses 100 percent virgin wool in two layers, all the better to keep you toasty in the falling snow.
As you might expect, the Filson Double Mackinaw Cruiser is packed with the customary bells and whistles from a brand that just knows how to get the job done (they’re useful for when you need to get the job done, too). Military-grade melanine buttons ensure long-lasting durability and protection from the elements, while the Filson Double Mackinaw Cruiser has a whopping nine pockets (nine!), all the better to hold your everyday carry gear — naturally, Filson has you covered in that department, too. The brown wool of the Filson Double Mackinaw Cruiser is a seasonally appropriate style touch, one that makes this a rugged jacket to wear with Filson jeans and one of the best men’s henleys, too.
An added layer of wool at the shoulders also makes the Filson Double Mackinaw Cruiser a burly and extremely warm jacket, no matter how cold it gets out there. A word to the wise: You very well might want to size down if you seek a more snug fit, but the Filson Double Mackinaw Cruiser is also well-suited for layering (check out Filson men’s sweaters if you really want to go all-in on rugged, comfortable, dependable winter style). One last note on the Filson Double Mackinaw Cruiser — it’s a jacket meant to be invested in (it retails for $650, after all), but it’s going to last and last for seasons on end. If that sounds ideal to you — and it should! — then consider making the Filson Double Mackinaw Cruiser your new favorite winter jacket.
