It's hard to single out just one item among Filson's lineup of rugged menswear fit for fall and winter, but let's start with the Filson Tin Cloth Jacket. It's the stuff of legend, with a waxed exterior and an iconic trucker jacket design that can go the distance.

Beyond that, the weather-resistant Tin Cloth fabric is as tough as it gets -- that toughness makes it the ideal material to turn into a new Filson men's jacket, like the Filson Tin Cloth Work Jacket. It's but the latest and greatest jacket from the Pacific Northwest brand, and surprisingly enough, it's a new entry to the entire lineup.

How so, you ask? Well, Filson took the design from its archives, where they found a wool jacket cut in a similar style. To get from point A to point B, they drummed up that legendary Tin Cloth material to end up with the hard-wearing Filson Tin Cloth Work Jacket. The rest, you might say, is history -- or at least, it will be as this jacket establishes itself among Filson's menswear essentials for rugged style.

Oversized, reinforced snap pockets provide critical space for your EDC and for any small tools you need for your fall to-do list, while the wool collar delivers standout warmth on chilly days. The Filson Tin Cloth Work Jacket hits at the hip, so it should prove slightly longer than the original Tin Cloth Jacket.

Plus, its sleeves are lined in polyester (that lining means the sleeves of your flannel shirt or henley won't snag as you put the jacket on). It's a no-fuss, no-frills, tough-as-nails jacket in a timeless Dark Tan color -- suffice to say, the Filson Tin Cloth Work Jacket should prove worth the nearly $350 price tag. Can't get enough Filson? You're in luck with this jacket, because it's a new heirloom classic.
