Does It Get Any More Rugged Than Filson x Wrangler?

"Some collabs feels like little more than a co-branded, quick-hit attempt at some cheap publicity. Not Filson x Wrangler. The just-launched partnership between the two heritage brands - both champions of American craft, utility apparel and unmatched Western vibes, there are over 200 years of history between the duo - is about as synergistic as it gets, with a new, limited-edition capsule of rugged outerwear and denim silhouettes that bear out a shared commitment to durable workwear and a spirit of true frontier grit."

"The 10-piece Filson x Wrangler collection introduces five new styles in two variations each; cold-weather utility outerwear make up the bulk of the offerings, with the new Packet Jacket leading the functional charge. Featuring a crsipy denim exterior, Filson's signature, ultra-dense Mackinaw wool lining and a sheepskin-shearling shawl collar, the western-inspired jacket is a behemoth of a winter layer, with the added benefit of looking like something straight out of Yellowstone."

"Pulling from iconic silhouettes of both brands, the Filson x Wrangler collection transposes archival styles and weather-resistant fabrics - Filson's British Millerain oil-finish Tin Cloth and Mackinaw Wool feature prominently, as does Wrangler's signature cotton slub - onto a variety of classic Americana apparel. Built for "the open range to the backwoods trails to the city streets," the capsule features 10 distinct designs that combine the DNA of both brands into a variety of hardwearing pieces, ranging from snap-front denim workshirts to shearling-lined jackets."

Filson and Wrangler created a limited 10-piece capsule that merges both brands' heritage silhouettes and durable fabrics. The collection uses British Millerain oil-finish Tin Cloth, Filson's ultra-dense Mackinaw wool, Wrangler's cotton slub, heavy 14.5 oz. cotton denim and Filson's cotton duck canvas. Five new styles are offered in two variations each, with a focus on cold-weather utility outerwear. The Packet Jacket features a crisp denim exterior, Mackinaw wool lining and a sheepskin-shearling shawl collar. Other pieces include denim work jackets, adventure jackets, snap-front denim workshirts and shearling-lined jackets designed for range, trails and city use.
