Designed for Demanding Conditions

Filson’s waxed Tin Cloth jackets are hard-wearing and water-resistant, making them ideal for wet and abrasive environments.

Warmth Without Bulk

Mackinaw Wool jackets provide natural insulation with breathable comfort — a strong option for colder months and changeable temperatures. Ideal for layering over knitwear or pairing with trousers on shooting days, they move easily between country and city use.

Popular Styles

Favourites include the Tin Cloth Short Lined Cruiser for rugged conditions, the Swiftwater Rain Jacket for lightweight coverage, and the Mackinaw Wool Hunting Jacket for cold weather. All are built with Filson’s long-standing focus on practicality, longevity and function-first design.

Choosing the Right Jacket

For wet weather, choose Tin Cloth or rainproof styles; for warmth, opt for wool or lined jackets. Most designs are generously cut for easy layering. Our product descriptions include care tips, fit advice, and technical details to help you choose with confidence.

About Filson Jackets

How to Choose the Right Filson Jacket

Select your jacket based on expected weather, usage and weight:

  • Rain & wet weather: go for Tin Cloth or waxed cruise styles — these shed showers and resist wear.
  • Cold & damp: insulated or wool-lined models provide warmth even in changing conditions.
  • Layering flexibility: choose a roomier fit if wearing over fleece or mid-layers.
  • Weight vs mobility: heavier jackets offer protection but trade off ease of movement — pick lighter options where mobility is key.

Also consider care requirements (rewaxing Tin Cloth, brushing wool) and whether repairability is a priority. Our blog features, including the Tin Cloth story and built-to-last philosophy, dive deeper into these choices.

Filson Jackets FAQs

Filson Tin Cloth jackets have a waxed finish that makes them highly water-resistant and suitable for wet conditions. However, they are not completely waterproof—for extended exposure to heavy rain, additional outer layers may be necessary.

For Britain’s unpredictable weather, Tin Cloth jackets are ideal for damp and windy conditions. In colder months, wool-lined or insulated jackets offer better warmth. Choose based on season, usage, and layering needs.

Wipe off dirt with a damp cloth, avoid machine washing, and apply Filson Oil Finish Wax when the fabric appears dry. This restores water resistance and prolongs the garment’s lifespan.

Filson jackets are designed to retain their shape under normal wear. They are made from pre-treated fabrics that resist shrinking or stretching, provided care instructions are followed.
