The layering piece that punches above its weight
Ah, the waxed gilet – beloved of Young Farmers, bushcrafters, coarse fishermen and other ruddy-cheeked outdoor types. And this Down Cruiser Vest from Filson is a serious cut above your country superstore variety – combining 650-fill-power goose down insulation with their time-tested waxed cotton construction. The result is a bodywarmer that keeps your torso toasty while giving you full freedom of movement for everything from drystone walling to razzing around in your old Hilux. The oil-finish Cover Cloth and Shelter Cloth construction will shrug off light rain while developing that distinctive Filson patina. Multiple pockets – including snap-flap chest pockets, gusseted cargo pockets, and a slotted utility pocket – mean you can carry all your essentials, while the merino wool collar trim adds a touch of comfort against your neck. It’s got a relaxed fit that means it’ll work equally well over a thin merino base layer or a chunky fisherman's jumper.
