The Double Coat is made with our iconic Mackinaw Wool and reinforced with a layer of waxed cotton Tin Cloth over the shoulders and arms. This combination provides unrivalled protection against rain and snow while maintaining outstanding breathability through the torso.
The foundation of the Double Coat is our Mackinaw Wool Cruiser, patented in 1914 and engineered for Pacific Northwest foresters. The full-width back pocket was originally designed as map pocket for timber cruiser, and works just as well today for bulky items such as gloves and caps. The tightly woven 24-oz. Mackinaw Wool twill is highly durable, wind-resistant, and warm. This 100% wool is comfortable in a wider range of weather conditions than any other material.
Filson Tin Cloth is evolved from the waxed canvas used to make our jackets and pants for loggers and hunters as early as 1920. With an exceptionally tight weave and special treatments for durability and water resistance, Tin Cloth’s durability and weather protection is legendary among those who make a living in rugged conditions. Sourced from Britain’s oldest and finest mills, our Tin Cloth is often imitated, and never equaled for longevity and weather resistance.
