Tin Cloth Insulated Vest - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"Every material choice in this vest has a reason behind it. The Tin Cloth shell handles brush and abrasion that would chew through a nylon vest without blinking, the flannel-lined hand pockets are genuinely warm rather than just present, and the wool-blend rib-knit collar feels like it belongs on a vest that costs this much. The dropped back hem is a practical detail that most people notice immediately when they bend down or climb something. Runs relaxed, so true to size layers a midweight cleanly underneath. Rewax once a year and this vest outlasts most of what surrounds it."

There are layers that exist to fill a gap between your shirt and your shell, and then there are layers that do actual work. The Filson Tin Cloth Insulated Vest belongs to the second category. The 14-oz waxed Tin Cloth shell traces its material roots to the rain-soaked Pacific Northwest forests of the 1920s, tightly woven to resist thorns, brush, and abrasion, and finished with an oil wax that sheds water and mud without requiring anything from you except an occasional rewaxing.

The 60g PrimaLoft Gold insulation keeps the vest lightweight while delivering warmth that holds even when conditions turn wet, backed by the same Army-originated technology that proves itself at heavier weights in Filson's jacket line. The lining is dry finish Cover Cloth for natural comfort against layers, and the hem drops in the back to maintain coverage when you bend or climb. A wool-blend rib-knit collar brings real warmth at the neck, flannel-lined hand pockets do more than most vest pockets manage, and chest stow and slotted utility pockets add organized storage for the things you reach for most. This is a vest with a material story worth reading and a performance record worth trusting.
