The Jacket: Filson's Historical Remake

View Original Article Fresh Picks: Fashion News THE JACKET Filson’s Historic Remake Seattle’s heritage famously includes grunge rock; coffee; ever-present rain— and the red Filson Cruiser. The Cruiser, which is a jacket, not a boat, was first issued in 1922 by the Seattle-based outdoor outfitter. On Nov. 1, as part of its new Filson 1897 Collection, the company will release an updated version of the jacket: the brilliantly colored, woolen Scarlet Mackinaw Cruiser, complete with a charming vintage watch pocket. Its wear will never get lost in the crowd— or in the fog.
