Despite a wide range of technical, synthetic outerwear available to those who work outside in cold and rugged conditions, traditional fabrics such as heavy-duty cotton and thick wool are still hard to beat, mainly because they can take a beating better than their man-made counterparts and still function well. Putting those fabrics together in a classic work vest such as Filson’s Antique Tin Cloth Reversible Cruiser Vest yields a garment that’s suitable for field, ranch, or virtually any cold environment where you need full range of motion for arms and upper body. This Filson vest is big on fit, price, and functionality.
