Dry-clean only.Replicating a 1948 Cruiser.
This jacket follows the blueprint of the 1948 original. The left front panel carries oversized utility pockets, layered for function, each one individually cut with beveled corners. The full-width double back is a reach-through pocket, first intended for survey maps and charts, just as handy today for gloves or other bulky gear. The snaps are enameled like on our historic jackets, and even the fit holds true to history—an inch shorter in the body than modern Cruisers.
The Mackinaw Wool Cruiser was patented in 1914 for men working long days surveying timber stands in Pacific Northwest forests. Built from dense Mackinaw Wool, it blocks wind, sheds snow, and stays warm even when wet. Hunters, sportsmen, and the U.S. Forest Service have relied on it for generations. One jacket that handles whatever the weather throws your way—that’s what made it a classic, and that’s why it’s still trusted today.
