Style Pick of the Week: Filson Swiftwater Rain Pullover

A seemingly simple rain jacket that’s ultra-packable and durable all the same.

Thanks for joining us for another Style Pick of the Week, where today, we’ll step into a seriously stylish, durable rain jacket for spring. Not just any rain jacket, of course: One of the best men’s rain jackets is yours for the taking today, and courtesy of Pacific Northwest heritage outfitters Filson, at that. Filson is, naturally, quite the favorite of the blog (check out this piece on the best waxed chore coat, for starters), but you might normally associate ’em with hard-wearing fall and winter gear. If that’s the case, be prepared to learn something new today, because Filson also makes some of the best rain jackets for men. And it’s all the better that you can get the Filson Swiftwater Rain Pullover just in time for, well, spring rain.

Let’s not waste another second, shall we? For $225 at Filson — a steal considering how versatile and well-made this stylish rain jacket is — you’re getting a lightweight, packable pullover you can throw on at a moment’s notice on the trail or in town with ease (as you’d expect from Filson). The kicker here has got to be the nylon ripstop fabrication, complete with a printed membrane that acts as a raised layer to repel rain and provide breathability. It sounds technically advanced, because it is, but the result is one of the best rain jackets on the market, thanks to that innovation.

SHOP: The Filson Swiftwater Rain Pullover

The attached hood and drawcord hem and cuffs will surely keep spring rain out, ehh?

The remarkable Filson Swiftwater Rain Pullover is built with YKK Aquaguard zippers for the kangaroo front pocket, meaning you can store your everyday carry essentials without fear during driving rainstorms. The half-zip front closure comes complete with a microfleece chin guard, which means the technical material of the coat’s interior won’t irritate, well, your chin. And the hood has a structured brim to keep out rain, plus a drawcord for a snug fit. When it’s time to take the jacket off, pack it into the front pocket — bingo!

As you might expect with one of the best rain jackets, every little detail has covered. This is the type of jacket you can throw on when you want to keep dry while wearing your favorite Oxford shirt or a rugged American-made henley. It’s certainly a more casual rain jacket, so waterproof Blundstone boots or other durable rain footwear should be your go-to move on your feet (along with, say, a pair of the best men’s technical pants as your go-to pants). It’s functional and yet overly technical, like a running jacket — the color is a muted Dark Olive, which pairs up with darn near anything you own. From A-to-Z, Filson has you covered with one of the best men’s rain jackets.

See Now, Buy Now: The Filson Scout Shirt is the Perfect Shirt for Casual Winter Style

One of the more durable, stylish men’s shirts you can wear this winter.

Well, here we are: Past mid-February on the calendar, and yet with the long slog of the rest of winter still in front of us. What’s a guy to do? Why, that’s easy. Check out today’s See Now, Buy Now entry to stock up on one of the best men’s shirts for winter and beyond — the Filson Scout Shirt. It’s the kind you can wear in casually rugged fashion for the rest of this season and on into spring, to say the least. Plus, the brown-and-gold plaid color shown above is seasonally friendly and classic. Now, if you read the blog on the regular, you know that the Pacific Northwest heritage outfitters at Filson routinely come up with some of the best gear for men, period, from the classic Filson Tin Cloth Jacket to the unstoppably cool Filson Moleskin Shirt we talked about earlier this winter. On that note, the Filson Scout Shirt really does pass muster.

And as luck would have it, the Filson Scout Shirt carries on the same tradition of quality and rugged style (plus performance) that you’d expect from a brand that’s been around more than a century. How does that all work out, exactly? Reader, I’m glad you asked. Of course, the brand starts with a lightweight-yet-durable and easy-to-layer cotton twill for maximum versatility (think neither too burly or too lightweight on the fabric front). It only gets better from there as far as one of the best men’s winter shirts is concerned.

SHOP: The Filson Scout Shirt

One of three rugged and essential colorways as far as this durable men’s shirt is concerned.

We previously talked about the versatility of the F ilson Scout Shirt here on the blog for the warmer months, but believe me when I say it’s got plenty going for it as far as cold-weather layering is concerned. The cotton twill fabric of this rugged men’s shirt means you can wear it easily atop a classic Filson henley or a Filson thermal shirt for cold winter days in the yard or the garage, and you can even layer that combination beneath a waxed Filson jacket for maximum warmth. The military-grade buttons ensure years of durability, and the yarn-dyed fabric is made to resist fading over time.

The fit should prove easy to move around in and layer without being too baggy or too tight, either. Any day of the week (even for a Zoom call when worn atop a Filson pocket T-shirt), the Filson Scout Shirt simply comes through in the clutch. One last styling tip: Wear it with Filson men’s jeans for the ultimate in all-day style, including a coffee run, a park stroll and brewery to-go beers. I’d call that one of the best men’s winter shirts, wouldn’t you?

#OOTD: Here’s How to Wear the Most Rugged Gear for Winter

Rugged, durable gear is all the rage these days, and for good reason as we move through a chilly February. In fact, your next #OOTD calls for versatile, warm winter layering and expertly crafted style for cold weather, after all. I’ve got good news: You’re in luck, because it all starts convincingly with one of the most rugged coats for men from Filson, a legendary addition to your outerwear rotation that you’ll want to wear a ton the rest of this season (these are also gear picks you can wear as Valentine’s Day menswear options later this month). The rest of these picks are pieces you’re going to come to know and love, if you don’t already have a closet packed full of ’em. Case in point: The Buck Mason work shirt that serves as a go-between layer, plus the durable henley from Huckberry that’s acting as a warming base layer through the winter chill. Naturally, a classic leather watch from Timex is also along for the ride, as is one of the coolest bags for men (it’s a surprise!).

To me, these picks work in perfect harmony together, especially when so many of our favorite pursuits, from grabbing a local beer to enjoying an apertif, have moved outside under heat lamps. For a day hike, for a crosstown stroll or heck, for a day of yard work, I think you can make any of these pieces work quite nicely (it’s a blend of form and function after all, right?). Of course, your rugged five-pocket pants are as ready for adventure and yard work as anything, so they’re along for the ride, too. Keep scrolling to see how it all comes together, and happy shopping this season, folks.

Undeniably tough, rugged picks to get you through winter in style, no doubt.

The Rugged Jacket: Filson Cover Cloth Mile Marker Coat, $395 — The right winter gear often starts with one of the best men’s jackets for winter, and Filson has you covered quite easily.
The Shirt: Buck Mason Chambray Work Shirt, $105 — It doesn’t get any better for rugged winter layering than a Buck Mason work shirt, right? Yes indeed.
The Henley: Flint and Tinder Raglan Waffle Henley, $62 — A durable, tough henley is the right base layer to combat cold weather while providing some cool, casual visual interest in this ensemble.
The Pants: Proof Rover Pants, $98 — These are some of the best-selling pants at Huckberry for a reason; reason being, they mimic the fabric and toughness of work pants, yet they’ve got the comfort and style of your favorite denim.
The Boots: Wolverine 1000 Mile Axel Boots, $400 — It’s not too late to get your new favorite winter boots, and this updated take on the Wolverine 1000 Mile Boots should prove a perfect pairing with the rest of this ensemble.
The Watch: Timex Navi XL Automatic Leather Watch, $259 — To pair with your tough leather boots, pick up a classic Timex leather watch for unstoppably cool, rugged style.
The Winter Hat: Away Without Leave Fisherman Beanie, $45 — Bundle up in style with this old-school fisherman beanie, a recent addition to the Huckberry gear lineup.
The Everyday Carry: DISCOMMON Weekender, $875 — If you’re hitting the road or if you’ve got plenty of gear to haul on the daily, then you want the incredibly well-made DISCOMMON Weekender, one of the coolest bags for men I’ve seen in some time.

Alright, let’s review precisely what we’ve got on tap in today’s rugged, rough-and-ready #OOTD. To me, it’s packed with the sort of essential gear picks you really can’t go without, especially when blustery, snowy winter weather is the norm. Take the Filson Cover Cloth Mile Marker Coat, as tough a jacket as it gets when the going gets, well, tough. It’s a fine pairing with your Buck Mason work shirt, another crucial layer to fight winter’s cold climes. Naturally, both work quite well atop your Flint and Tinder henley for maximum warmth and timeless good looks.

And if it’s work-ready versatility — plus serious style points — that you’re looking for in terms of your bottom half, you could do worse than some of the best-selling pants at Huckberry (available in both Slim and Straight fits). It gets even better, though: A new take on the Wolverine 1000 Mile Boots are going to ensure you stay on your feet and take on tough jobs (or just another round of winter beers) with ease. Since the name of the game is all-day function and fashion, a classic Timex leather watch is a crucial accessory to add to your daily carry. Top it all off, quite literally, with a fisherman beanie that’ll keep you warm all day and night long. Last but certainly not least, I’m certain you’ll find the DISCOMMON Weekender quite useful and quite stylish no matter where you go, particularly if a winter road trip is in order. If you’ve got any final thoughts on this look, feel free to get in touch on Twitter. Thanks for reading, my friends!

The Thursday Buy: Filson’s Rail-Splitter Jeans are the Best Men’s Jeans to Buy Now

Filson’s new jeans are the sort of jeans you’ll have for years and years to come.

Just when you thought the Pacific Northwest heritage outfitters at Filson couldn’t possibly do an even better job at crafting men’s style staples, they launch the Filson Rail-Splitter Jeans. That’s right, folks: Filson is now making denim, and the results look very promising indeed. To be more specific: The Filson Rail-Splitter Jeans in Rinse Indigo are everything you could ask for in a pair of the best men’s jeans, to say the very least. In fact, whether you go with the cool and more laidback Filson Rail-Splitter Jeans in Washed Indigo or the rough-and-tumble Rinse Indigo variety, you’re getting that same classic, iconic construction that you’d expect from the revered, century-plus-old brand. And if you thought that men’s denim would best be left to brands that specialize in, well, denim, know that the Filson Rail-Splitter Jeans merge USA-made craftsmanship and high-quality fabrics in a way that only the Seattle company can pull off.

SHOP: The Filson Rail-Splitter Jeans in Rinse Indigo

Take your pick from variations like Rinse Indigo, and be amazed at how you much you’ll love ’em.

The Filson Rail-Splitter Jeans check all the right boxes as far as great denim is concerned. They retail for a pretty agreeable price compared to designer denim ($165 at Filson), and 14.5oz. cotton denim (in the case of the Indigo variety) should prove hard-wearing and yet not overly heavy. They’re a perfect pair of jeans to start breaking in this winter, too. The straight-leg fit means you can easily wear ’em for work or play, and that’s just the Filson way. The Filson leather rear patch is a distinctive detail that only adds to their appeal. Of course, these are classic men’s jeans to pair with everything from a Filson flannel shirt to a rugged henley and the Filson Mackinaw Wool Cruiser Jacket, for example. But any way you want to wear them, the Filson Rail-Splitter Jeans can pass muster (to say the least).

Style Pick of the Week: Filson Tin Cloth Jacket

A new go-to work and casual jacket with all the proper style points you need.

Well, my friends: If your New Year’s style resolutions included a commitment to buying less but buying better, and a commitment to focusing on heritage-quality gear including the best men’s winter jackets, you’re in luck. The Filson Tin Cloth Jacket is a perfectly rugged, tough-as-nails and winter-ready jacket to help you kick off 2021 in style, and that’s just a fact. We’re big fans of Filson here on the blog, makers of pieces like the Filson Mackinaw Wool Cruiser Jacket and of course, some of the best men’s gear around. That’s where the Filson Tin Cloth Jacket comes into play, because it’s been around the Filson line for years and years (with the rugged construction and great looks to prove it). The Filson Tin Cloth Jacket gets it right from the get-go as far as taking on tough weather: It’s made from the Seattle brand’s rain-repellent, abrasion-resistant Tin Cloth fabric, the kind that’s been helping adventurers, explorers and commuters face the elements for more than a century. If it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for you. This jacket is made to hit below the hip for more coverage on the go, and it helps that the back is cut so you can move around with ease.

SHOP: The Filson Tin Cloth Jacket

An utterly dependable, classic and tough jacket you can mix up with some classic Filson accessories.

This rough-and-tumble jacket really has the capabilities of multiple jackets, especially when you consider that you can team it with Filson liners for extra warmth in chilly winter weather. Because the Filson Tin Cloth Jacket retails for nearly $300, you’re going to want to get as much wear out of it as possible. By that, I mean you should wear it with everything from a denim shirt, faded black jeans and a rugged Filson henley (off-duty) to a thermal shirt and some Filson Dry Tin Pants the next time a grueling outdoor project calls. If you order yours alongside a Filson wool liner, you’ve got a virtually unstoppable outdoor jacket with plenty of room to layer. Sounds more than ideal for tough conditions out there, does it not? Snap front buttons are made with classic Filson hardware for rugged performance, while a front chest pocket offers some space for critical EDC essentials. When it gets really chilly out there, flip up the virgin wool collar for even more protection in the great outdoors. When it comes to the Filson Tin Cloth Jacket, don’t delay picking it up as you start off 2021 in classic, heritage-ready style.

Style Pick of the Week: Filson Quilted Jac-Shirt

Whether you’re a skilled banjo player, an explorer or have a tendency toward days at home, this is one of the best shirt jackets for men you can buy.

When you know, you know — when you step outside on a crisp, cool fall morning, you know what lies in store: Fall adventures and of course, the need for rugged fall gear to take on the day. That, my friends, is where the Filson Quilted Jac-Shirt comes into play, one of the best shirt jackets for men this fall (and of course, well beyond).

When the going gets tough, you should assuredly turn toward one of the best shirt jackets for men, seeing as this particular number is made with a tough, 4oz. cotton exterior finished off with a water-resistant waxed treatment. It delivers the goods when you need it, to say the least.

SHOP: The Filson Quilted Jac-Shirt

A reliable, dependable and rugged shirt jacket for fall and winter.

One of the best men’s shirt jackets needs to step up in the clutch, and it helps if it looks darn good while doing it. The Marsh Olive color is a workhorse when it comes to pairing up with grey chore pants and tough leather work boots, yet it also looks mighty fine when worn casually (think slim indigo jeans, a thermal henley and chukka boots to grab to-go brewery beers). Consider the Filson Quilted Jac-Shirt a grab-and-go-type of jacket, one you need to wear when on the trail or camping under the stars (or again, hanging out around your bonfire). And because it’s Filson, all the details are accounted for — the snap front buttons are easy to use even while wearing, say, Filson work gloves. Although the Filson Quilted Jac-Shirt is a bit pricier than your average work shirt, it’s absolutely worth it — it’s a new everyday style staple. If you end up picking it up, let me know on Twitter.
