See Now, Buy Now: The Buck Mason Bruiser Leather Jacket is One of the Coolest Spring Jackets for Men

Best leather jackets for men.

The classics stay steadfast in your wardrobe of men’s style essentials for a reason, or several reasons, rather, and that list of often includes rugged utility, standout style and even a dash of toughness. The best leather jackets exude an air of all three, and then some — the Buck Mason Bruiser Leather Jacket checks those boxes handily, and it arrives just in time for spring.

Or rather, this durable-as-can-be leather jacket has been a spring style staple in the Buck Mason lineup for some time, and it’s back and better than ever for a new season at hand. The Buck Mason Bruiser PCH Leather Jacket takes its cues from throwback rider leather jackets, which belong in the same family as the classic moto jacket, but offers slightly more coverage than typical moto styles.

In fact, you might notice that the Buck Mason Bruiser PCH Leather Jacket bears a passing resemblance in terms of design to, say, the famed Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket. That’s not all, of course. Let’s get deeper into the basics of your new favorite leather jacket, shall we?

The right leather jacket can take a wardrobe from good to great, from average to effortlessly cool and super-stylish: Just witness how it looks with a timeless white tee and crisply cut chinos.

And if you’ve never taken a stab at owning a leather jacket, this handsome Buck Mason leather jacket might prove a fine introduction to the category, especially if you’d prefer to save some cash compared to a classic (yet more expensive) producer like New York City’s Schott (also a personal favorite of mine, as luck would have it).

Beyond that, the Buck Mason Bruiser PCH Leather Jacket gets every vintage detail correct, including zip pockets at the hip (adorned with what Buck Mason lovingly calls “knuckle-side” corduroy lining for comfort and a touch of warmth on brisk spring days. The fold-over collar can be flipped up for coverage against spring winds — think of this jacket like a go-between from your technically minded jacket and your rugged field jacket. It’s not quite suitable for spring rain, of course, but it’ll do just fine for rugged style the rest of the time.

Luckily, Buck Mason makes plenty of other style staples that pair nicely with the Buck Mason Bruiser PCH Leather Jacket, from subtly stylish T-shirts and light wash jeans to black jeans and one of the best chambray shirts on the market.

Vegetable-tanned sheepskin leather will mold to your body over time, while hand-burnishing gives it a lived-in look and feel. The Buck Mason Bruiser PCH Leather Jacket is made to get better with age, and your wardrobe will be all the better for it this season.

Style Pick of the Week: Filson Ranger Lightweight Anorak – An Adventure-Ready Spring Rain Jacket

Best spring rain jackets for men.

When it comes to navigating the swiftly changing seasons, a dash of preparation goes a long way. That holds true for fighting off brisk fall and winter weather, yet when temperatures climb ever so slightly upwards, the pursuit still doesn’t stop, right?

Blustery spring days bring with ’em rain and wind — and the right outerwear is never more crucial than when your to-do list, your next trip or your daily commute comes beckoning, right? Enter Filson, legendary Pacific Northwest purveyors of some of the best spring rain jackets, period (and plenty more).

More specifically, the Filson Ranger Lightweight Anorak might be just what the doctor ordered as you scour the market for one of the best spring jackets around, my friends.

It’s part of the new Filson Spring Collection, a slew of positively tough-as-nails gear selections made to go far afield — fabrics like waxed cotton and sturdy wool take shape across silhouettes ranging from trucker jackets to overshirts and beyond. And yet, it’s the Filson Ranger Lightweight Anorak that just might have the most chops to take you from coast to coast, far inland and beyond.

The anorak, after all, dates back to Arctic peoples, with roots that trace back to early versions of the parka — and the smock-inspired design is not unlike a much more rain-ready version of your favorite hooded sweatshirt, this time complete with a snap-shut kangaroo pocket.

If you seek more coverage and protection from the elements, a piece like the Filson Ranger Lightweight Anorak, with slightly more coverage, a helpful hood and durable, lightweight waxed cotton structure, is a useful addition to your spring style rotation (and that’s an understatement).

Available in two crisp, classic colors (Dark Navy and Dark Beige), the Filson Ranger Lightweight Anorak should boast plenty of water and wind resistance, while its half-front zip collar includes a storm flap for added protection from the elements — the most foul spring weather doesn’t seem to be a match for the Filson Ranger Lightweight Anorak, at least in my experience with Filson outerwear.

Remarkably, that’s not the only thing this handsome, rugged anorak jacket has going for it — this piece is machine washable, a rarity among waxed cotton outerwear selections. Consider the fact that the drawcord hood also maximizes protection from the elements, and you’ve got a jacket that seems nearly unstoppable in terms of spring hikes, coastal getaways, log cabin weekends and rainy day strolls.

Place your trust in Filson as far as the best spring jackets are concerned, and I’ve got a feeling you’ll be rewarded handsomely.

Style Pick of the Week: Filson 110-Year Dry Tin Cloth Cruiser Jacket

Filson Dry Tin Cloth Cruiser Jacket.

It’s always inspirational to see how a heritage menswear retailer dives into its own archives to mine its past for, among other things, the best spring menswear. And at a time of year when blustery weather gets more fierce by the day, and at a time when the best spring jackets for men are a must-have, there’s nothing quite like the chance to score a rugged, heritage-worthy archival style with loads of history and modern performance.

And that jacket, my friends? It’s the Filson Dry Tin Cloth Cruiser, which Filson just revamped for the famed jacket’s 110th anniversary.

110 years is a heck of a lot of dependability and reliable performance, and Filson certainly knows a thing or two about styles made to go the distance. The specs on this jacket nod to its history as a piece of outerwear prized by foresters who, as Filson says, were “cruising timber ahead of logging crews.”

As it were, the first edition of the Filson Cruiser used the outfitter’s famed Mackinaw Wool, while a waxed canvas version then followed — and the 2024 edition of the Filson Dry Tin Cloth Cruiser uses that same abrasion-resistant duck canvas (although a 1970s edition featured water resistance, minus the waxed treatment).

Are you still with me? The point stands that the rugged, tough-as-nails Filson Dry Tin Cloth Cruiser boasts hard-wearing fabric, plentiful pockets for your everyday carry, durable snaps and a puncture-resistant build.

The handsome and yet rugged Filson Dry Tin Cloth Cruiser is one of the toughest jackets on the market, whether worn with hard-working canvas pants on the job or with some Filson indigo denim alongside your favorite henley for grabbing another round of cold Friday night beers.

Whatever your next spring outing requires of you, the historical and historically tough Filson Dry Tin Cloth Cruiser is up to the task — and then some.
