Insulated Short Cruiser Jacket - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Shelter Cloth alone justifies the price of entry. British Millerain has been waxing cotton since 1880 and it shows in how this fabric handles weather without feeling stiff or plasticky. PrimaLoft Gold insulation means wet conditions don't cost you warmth, which matters in the kind of weather a jacket like this actually gets worn in. Metal-shank buttons won't fail on you, the corduroy collar lining is genuinely comfortable against your neck, and the chest pockets are large enough to be useful. Rewax it once a season and this jacket outlasts most of what's in your closet."

The Short Cruiser jacket has a lineage that traces back to the ranchers and truckers who needed a jacket that could take a full day of work without flinching. Filson's Insulated Short Cruiser Jacket carries that history forward in Shelter Cloth, an 11-oz waxed cotton sourced from British Millerain, waxed-cotton pioneers operating since 1880, heavier and more durable than the imitators that have followed in its wake. The oil finish sheds water without a membrane, and when it eventually needs refreshing, rewaxing restores full protection.

PrimaLoft Gold insulation handles the cold side of the equation, continuing to trap heat even when the fabric around it gets wet, which makes this jacket functional in the conditions it was designed for rather than just the ones you plan for. A corduroy-lined collar and cuffs keep the jacket comfortable against bare skin through a long day, and metal-shank buttons on the front closure and hem-adjustment tabs are built to outlast the jacket itself. Large hand pockets, flapped chest pockets, and slotted chest pockets give working storage without compromising the silhouette. This is a jacket that takes years to break in and decades to wear out.
