A working jacket in heavy-duty indigo canvas — the sort of coat that gets better the more it is used, and outlasts most of what hangs beside it. Made from — strong heavy-duty cotton canvas built for lasting service, with a collar lined in 100% cotton corduroy for next-to-skin comfort. Wears like — a relaxed cut with room to layer, and a length that extends below the beltline for proper coverage. Lower stow pockets take gloves or essentials; button-flap and layered utility pockets sit at the chest. Front and adjustable cuffs fasten with metal-shank buttons that Filson describe as virtually indestructible. The Filson part — founded in Seattle in 1897 to outfit prospectors bound for the Klondike, on the principle that goods should not fail. The barn coat is that idea in its plainest form: protection from brush, wind and abrasion, and nothing that isn't needed. Who it's for — anyone buying a coat for the next decade rather than the season. Over a knit at weekends, or as genuine working outerwear. Looking after it — heavy canvas softens and fades with wear, which is the point rather than a fault. Metal-shank buttons mean nothing plastic to snap in cold weather. Made in Sri Lanka. Founded in Seattle in 1897, Filson builds unfailing goods for people who work outdoors. Explore our full Filson collection.
