See Now, Buy Now: The Filson Down Cruiser Jacket is One of the Best Jackets for Winter Style

The very best gear you should be keeping your eyes on the horizon for this season has a real-world sense of toughness, rugged appeal and performance – and yes, it’s possible to check all of those boxes in one highly covetable winter jacket, particularly from one of the best heritage menswear brands on the market. It’s heady stuff, right?

And Filson has been making gear primed for Pacific Northwest winters for well over a century, a legacy that continues apace today — and a legacy that checks off all the boxes we noted above.

Again, it’s heady stuff, right? And now, that lineup and legacy includes one of the best down jackets for men, a cross between a parka and a field coat via the aptly named Filson Waxed Canvas Down Jacket. It’s sturdy, it’s hard-working and it blends the best of both worlds: In this case, that means responsibly sourced down meets the waxed fabric for which Filson is famous, and then it’s done up in a rugged field coat-esque design made to go far afield (and then some, my friends — and then some).

The Filson Waxed Canvas Down Jacket boasts a highly durable two-tone Dark Tan blend of 8-oz. 100% cotton oil finish Cover Cloth and its famously hard-working 11-oz. 100% cotton oil finish Shelter Cloth, which is then filled with responsibly sourced down and finished off with ultra-warm merino wool trimmings at the collar and cuffs.

It’s the brand’s hardest-working fabrication with weather resistance and gets-better-with-age appeal in mind, as Filson sagely notes that “customers have described our Down Cruiser as, “like wearing a wood-burning stove.”” That sounds like precisely what your winter style rotation needs, does it not?

Durable custom hardware with snap closures down the front placket should keep you covered and ultra-warm in virtually any winter weather, while the handsome and highly functional Filson Waxed Canvas Down Jacket is packed with pockets to rival the company’s Mackinaw Wool Cruiser (another hybrid between a field coat and a more traditional peacoat, for instance).

Any time you look to lace up rugged leather boots, indigo denim and a chambray shirt over a thermal henley, complete your #OOTD with the tough-as-nails, investment-worthy Filson Waxed Canvas Down Jacket — winter’s best adventures nearly require it, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: This Relwen Superfleece Jacket Upgrades a Cold-Weather Closet Staple

There’s something to be said for finding a closet staple like one of the best winter jackets, and then taking that a step further with updated, modern fabrication and standout style.

Take the puffer jacket, made with quilted construction and down filling. It’s a sportswear staple, as fit for the slopes as it is for apres-ski drinks in a more casual setting — call it an adventure jacket with some travel-ready wearability, which just so happens to be a Huckberry specialty (my favorite retailer is, of course, the focus of today’s spotlight). Keep scrolling for more!

But some puffer jackets are overly technical and come in vivid colors without versatility — that’s where the Relwen Quilted Superfleece Jacket enters your casually rugged technical outerwear rotation and changes the game quite handily.

It’s based off another Relwen outerwear staple, the Relwen Windzip Jacket, which is a more minimal and streamlined take on the classic puffer jacket — with a dash of military style inspiration thrown in, to boot.

So, you could certainly say that the Relwen Quilted Superfleece Jacket from the Ohio-based, Huckberry-approved outfitter is as good as it gets, blending the best of both worlds in a technical yet eye-catching, casually fashionable way. It starts with a wildly durable water-resistant, breathable stretch shell that easily repels wind and rain (at least, in my experience wearing pieces like the Relwen Quilted Superfleece Jacket).

From there, cozy and warm high-pile fleece gives the handsome Relwen Quilted Superfleece Jacket superior performance in cold temperatures (you should still opt for a heavier parka during a blizzard, all that being said). The Relwen Quilted Superfleece Jacket boasts technical features aplenty, including ripstop-lined sleeves that should offer an easy-on, easy-off layering experience, plus brushed tricot pockets for warmth (and a dash of softness as you carry your EDC on adventures far afield).

This Huckberry-approved jacket also features mix-and-match zipper and durable snap-front button closures, and it comes in five easily wearable colors that can be paired seamlessly with expertly faded jeans, stretch chinos or jogger pants as you hop from point A to point B.

As Huckberry notes, straddle-stitched seams enhance durability at key stress points, while reliably rugged construction throughout should make for a prime wearing experience on the go this season. If you’re on the hunt for a jacket to wear on your next seasonal excursion, the Relwen Quilted Superfleece Jacket might just be the one, my friends.

The Tuesday Steal: Save on the Famed Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket at Huckberry This Week

As we often talk about here on this Brooklyn style blog, it often pays off to have a roster of men’s style essentials you can count on in the clutch — preparing for whatever the season throws at you can go a long way. And right now, for much of the country, that involves frigid air, brisk winds and plummeting temperatures — the perfect sort of weather in which to break out the Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket from our good friends at Huckberry.

The best part? You’ll find it on sale right now via the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale, which rolls on through February 6th — but then again, you might already know that if you’ve been keeping up with the blog.

The Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket is the sort of stylish winter jacket for men that comes in handy in a great deal of style situations, and it’s all the better that it’s on sale (marked down to $254, from $318). The water-resistant outer shell comes in a hardy woven nylon-cotton blend for repelling water and wind, while 80-gram down insulation from recycled polyester adds warmth.

Granted, the Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket isn’t rated for sub-zero temperatures necessarily, but should prove serviceable as a mighty fine winter jacket — perhaps atop a Relwen flannel shirt — provided you’re not traipsing through foot-high snow drifts (there are a variety of other men’s jackets at Huckberry that can tackle those scenarios).

The stand-up collar provides protection from the elements, useful inner and outer zipper pockets allow you to store your everyday carry essentials with ease, and the snap front closure further keeps out water and wind.

Shop men’s jackets and more at Huckberry

Consider the on-sale, tough-as-can-be Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket a fine casual outerwear move for days and nights on the go — particularly with Huckberry stretch chinos and perhaps lug-sole Chelsea boots for added traction.

Filson men’s jackets are surely no different, especially when it comes down to the Filson Foul Weather Jacket. The key is the exterior in terms of toughness, which is built from the company’s famed oil finish Shelter Cloth.

That means it can stand up to wind, rain, snow and just about anything else you throw at it. Plus, the Filson Foul Weather Jacket is lined in the outfitter’s soft-yet-durable Cover Cloth fabric, and it only gets better from there.

You see, the iconic heritage outfitter thought of just about everything, using a seamless shoulder design for maximum ease of movement and even more room for layering without overdoing it. And the Filson Foul Weather Jacket has historical roots, too: The brand based it on an archival rain coat style, then updated it with those modern bells and whistles.

A snap-close storm flap and oversized removable hood deliver ideal protection, as does a collar latch, sure to come in handy on especially brisk days. Snap-tab sleeve cuffs offer an even further customizable fit and weather-ready protection, and it certainly seems to be the case that the Filson Foul Weather Jacket covers every possible situation and environment. If that sounds like a trusty winter jacket you should keep on hand, do yourself a favor and invest accordingly this winter.

Style Pick of the Week: Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket – Your Wear-Anywhere Winter Jacket

Layering up for winter doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style entirely in the name of performance, as we often say here on the blog. In fact, your winter menswear essentials can meet that two-fold aim quite handily, and if you don’t believe me, look no further than Relwen, the Ohio-based, heritage-inspired brand sold by the good folks at Huckberry.

In my experience, Relwen delivers the right balance of timeless style and modern performance, whether it’s one of the best men’s shirt jackets or the Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket — a fan favorite that assuredly lives up to its rugged-meets-stylish billing. A quilted jacket, after all, is among the better winter jackets to have on hand, with pockets of insulation and added warmth. And this particular option is something special indeed, all thanks to Relwen’s unique take on classic military styles.

The Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket merges a diamond quilted exterior (for even insulation distribution) with a cotton flannel twill build, all the better for winter weather resistance. The stand-up collar delivers crucial coverage in cold weather, and Relwen packed the Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket with a laundry list of helpful addition features.

Those include a zip chest pocket and a snap chest pocket, plus hip handwarmer pockets, all with plenty of space for your favorite everyday carry essentials. A leather zipper pull adds some visual interest and heritage quality to the streamlined fit of the Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket, while contrasting interior colors add a shot of subtle style.

The best part about this rugged puffer jacket might be its hybrid sense of style — it’s got the utility of a field jacket along with the added coverage (as it hits below the hip), and it’s more stylish than other puffer jackets on the market.

The Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket is the kind of grab-and-go jacket you can wear atop your favorite henley with blue jeans, or else as a layer on your commute atop one of the best Oxford shirts as you head in for a casual day at the office.

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Herringbone Chore Coat – Huckberry’s Latest Winning Jacket

As the fall season rolls on, there’s not a piece I take more pride in wearing than a Flint and Tinder jacket. Or rather, any number of impossibly rugged, seriously cool Flint and Tinder waxed jackets from one of my favorite retailers, Huckberry. It’s not just one jacket or one style — it’s reliability and rugged good looks all the way across the board.

Shop menswear and gear now at Huckberry

And my friends, that list just grew by one, all with the introduction of the Flint and Tinder Herringbone Chore Coat. It’s an ideal option to consider as we cruise into the holiday season and the rest of winter. That’s certainly saying something, considering how many of the best winter jackets that Huckberry already stocks and sells right now. Let’s take a closer look, yes?

The chore coat, in its own right, is a go-anywhere sort of option for fall and winter: It’s got the workwear stylings of a jacket you can wear from morning to night, what with its handy EDC pockets and hybrid appeal. Wear it over a long-sleeve tee, a durable henley or even an Oxford shirt — it can handle it, and then some. This particular number is also just one in a full lineup of the best men’s chore coats at Huckberry, of course.

The style works as well with dark blue denim at your favorite brewery as it does with stretch chinos and the best leather boots at a more casual office. Naturally, the Flint and Tinder Herringbone Chore Coat has much of that same appeal, in a way that only Flint and Tinder can design.

The chest pocket and button flap patch pockets at the hips deliver crucial EDC storage space, and the fold-over collar can be flipped up against winter winds. Plus, the herringbone pattern is distinctive and a nice touch in brisk weather.

Polyester is bolstered by recycled wool for a touch of warmth, but keep in mind that this stretch chore coat isn’t as well-suited for winter storms as, say, your favorite parka. That being said, the rich Camel color of the Flint and Tinder Herringbone Chore Coat is a fitting seasonal style choice, especially when teamed with dark blue Flint and Tinder denim (as is the Charcoal option shown above).

Shop the best chore coats and more at Huckberry

It’s yet another piece you can add to your rotation in your quest to build the perfect #OOTD using only pieces from Huckberry — it’s been a personal favorite of mine to do precisely that over the years, and this handsome chore coat makes that pursuit even easier. Last but not least: It’s part of Huckberry Black Friday discounts (at least as of press time), so go ahead and save while you shop now.
