The most rugged bodywarmer you’ll ever own

We’ve never spent time wielding a chainsaw in a logging camp in the Pacific North West – but if we did, this is what we’d wear. Make no mistake, this tin cloth insulated work vest from legendary heritage brand Filson isn’t fashionable faux-‘workwear’ – it’s the real deal, designed to stand up to seriously rough treatment while keeping you warm and dry in all weathers. The shell is made from Filson’s famous ‘tin cloth’ – a heavy waxed canvas that resists wind, water, thorns and abrasion. It’s easy to re-wax as necessary, and develops a fantastic patina with age. For the insulation, they’ve gone for a cosy synthetic Primaloft that’ll keep you warm even when it gets wet, and there are comfortable little touches like the wool-blend ribbed collar and flannel-lined handwarmer pockets. The tin cloth work vest is cut to give you plenty of free movement, with a dropped tail hem that should keep the rain from running down into your boxers when you bend over. Because no-one wants that.
