As we so often talk about on this Brooklyn style blog, it can indeed be mighty refreshing to find a brand crafting rugged menswear the right way — especially if it’s a brand that might have flown under your radar, or a brand you haven’t explored in some time.

As we try to do with our Friday Find series, it seems that when it comes to winter style essentials — and the best waxed jackets — the good folks at Iron and Resin deliver just what the doctor ordered in matters of rugged, durable and dependable quality.

The newly reintroduced Iron and Resin Raymond Cruiser Jacket fits the bill perfectly in that regard, using a remarkable blend of quality, craftsmanship and tough-as-nails fabrication to get the details just right (and then some).

The Iron and Resin Raymond Cruiser Jacket starts off with a supple yet sturdy build featuring what the company calls a “beefy 14.75oz Raymond waxed cotton canvas,” amped up on the inside and outside with cozy yet strong features like a lining crafted from the brand’s custom Klamath Flannel pattern blanket fabrication.

The effect is visually pleasing as well as cozy and warm — how much more can you ask for from one of the best waxed jackets for men, ehh? Gusseted shoulders and a fit cut to hit just above the hip drive home the utility of this jacket, for good measure.

Dependable details truly make the difference when it comes to the Iron and Resin Raymond Cruiser Jacket, including a heavy-duty front zipper and reliable storm closure flap for extra coverage. Front chest pockets and lower hip pockets offer space for your everyday carry essentials, a wise move given that you’ll want to get plenty of wear out of your new favorite waxed jacket.

If it seems as if the company thought of just about everything as far as the handsome and highly dependable Iron and Resin Raymond Cruiser Jacket is concerned, that’s because, at least in my experience, they certainly did.
