Men's Mackinaw Cruiser Jacket Forest Green
Relaxed fit allows room for midweight layers underneath.
All Filson sizes are US sizes which can be larger for a European stature, so we recommend sizing down. We suggest reading all product features and characteristics by referring to our size guide and looking at the product measurements.Our Mackinaw Wool Cruiser is the most versatile cold-weather protection you’ll find–when you want to wear one jacket, no matter what direction the weather turns, nothing performs better. The extremely durable wool from Pantex is an uncommonly tight weave that resists wind while remaining breathable. Mackinaw Wool insulates wet or dry–due to its complex fiber structure, it can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in water without feeling damp or clammy. With the four snap-flap pockets on the front and a full-width map/chart pocket covering the entire back, two layers of wool cover most of the torso, right where it’s needed most.
Originally patented in 1914 as the Wool Cruising Shirt, C.C. Filson’s Cruiser was designed for foresters and timber cruisers in the rain-soaked Pacific Northwest forests. Offered as a pullover shirt as well as a button-front jacket, the Cruiser rapidly became one of the most-imitated jackets on the market. Since its versatile performance was also appreciated by hunters, Filson also introduced a red & black plaid version, which was one of the earliest high-visibility camouflage patterns. (Deer see in black & white, and the blocked pattern helps to break up a solid silhouette in the forest.) The Cruiser was instrumental in Filson products being adopted by the U.S. Forest service as early as the 1920s, and by the 1940’s, Filson was producing several variations of the Cruiser with custom designs and fabrications for the stewards of our public lands as official uniform attire.
Over a century later, the Mackinaw Wool Cruiser is still prized for its versatility in the outdoors by foresters, hunters and anyone who desires a very durable, weather-resistant jacket that performs in a wide range of conditions without the need for multiple layers. For many of our customers, the Cruiser has become a rite of passage for young men–when they’re finally done growing several inches each year, parents will give their sons their first Cruiser, knowing that they’re providing all-conditions comfort that will serve for decades.
The Filson Mackinaw Wool Cruiser–what worked then, works now.

Filson - Excellent quality for over 120 years
Born in 1850, c.c.filson inherited the pioneering spirit of the Father and the love for the open air. After living in Nebraska and traveling throughout the country as a railway worker, he moved to the town of Seattle, Washington around 1890.
Filson could not have chosen a better timing. In 1897 he began the great golden race of Klondike and thousands of people on the hunt for luck were poured into Seattle, headed to the north. Armed with a great sense of work, a reputation of honesty and long years of experience in dressing colonists and gold seekers of the North-West Pacific, C.C.Filson was ready to become famous. Here's what he said in our 1914 catalog:
"To our customers: if a man is directed to the North, he should go to us for his clothing, because we have learned what is better to wear in that country from the experience of a northern man - and not just one - but hundreds. Our materials are the best available, aware that the best is the result of constant research and that quality is vital. You can absolutely count on our products both as regards the materials and the processing.
