Filson - Mackinaw Wool Cruiser Jacket

The Undisputed King of Wool.

Patented in 1914 and still leading the pack today, the Mackinaw Wool Cruiser is perhaps the most versatile cold-weather jacket ever made. Originally designed for foresters and timber cruisers in the grueling conditions of the Pacific Northwest, it has become a global icon of durability and natural performance.

When you need one jacket that performs regardless of which way the weather turns, nothing beats the 100% Virgin Mackinaw Wool. It is naturally water-repellent, wind-resistant, and most importantly insulates even when wet. This is the jacket that earned Filson its place as the official outfitter for the U.S. Forest Service.

The Legend of the Pattern

Beyond its utility, the Cruiser’s aesthetic is rooted in survival. The classic Red & Black plaid was one of the earliest forms of "high-visibility camouflage." Since deer see in black and white, the blocked pattern breaks up a solid silhouette in the forest, while remaining visible to fellow woodsmen.
