Filson’s Mackinaw Wool Caped Jacket is $260 at Filson right now, down from its $650 list price. That’s 60% off a limited-edition archival jacket, and the size run is already thinning at the top end.

Sizes S through XL are in stock at Filson right now. 2XL is gone already. Filson sells the jacket in one colorway, Natural Black Plaid with a solid navy cape, and there’s no posted end date on the markdown, so the price holds only while the remaining sizes do, and outlet stock at this depth rarely waits.

Two fabrics, split at the chest

This one stacks two defenses, and the seam between them runs across the chest.

The body starts from Filson’s Mackinaw Wool Work Jacket, a hip-length coat built from 24-ounce wool. It’s 100% virgin fiber, dense enough to block wind and keep insulating wet.

Over the shoulders, arms and upper chest sits the cape, cut from Filson’s 8-ounce Cover Cloth. The cotton carries an oil finish, so rain and sleet bead up and roll off instead of soaking in. Those panels take the weather first on any jacket. Under them, the wool stays dry longer, holds its warmth and keeps breathing the way an unwaxed body should.

The solid navy also splits the look, setting the cape apart from the natural-and-black plaid below it.

Work Jacket hardware underneath

Underneath the two-tone split, the working kit is standard Work Jacket. Deep cargo pockets up front double as hand pockets, each closed with a snap flap that stays shut in brush. A layered accessory pocket sits outside for the small stuff, the tape, the lighter, the folded map.

Inside there’s a stow pocket for valuables. The front runs on unbreakable metal snaps over a zipper, sized to work with gloves on. The cuffs close with the same snaps, over a plaid wool cuff that peeks out below.

Filson cuts and sews the jacket at its Seattle factory, and the pattern isn’t new. The design comes out of the company’s archives, revived as a limited-edition release for the 2025 holiday season.

Care stays simple. Brush or wipe the wool clean with a damp rag, and never wash it or send it to a dry cleaner. The cape asks for one chore in return: rewax it when the finish dulls and water stops beading, and the oil finish goes back to shedding weather.

The math on the markdown

It’s built for the buyer who works outside in cold, real weather and dresses like it.

Every Filson piece carries the company’s guarantee against failures in materials and workmanship, for the useful life of the garment. At list, it asked $650 and aimed at collectors.

At $260 the same build competes with midweight jackets that carry none of its fabric weight. One tradeoff comes with the territory, though. A 24-ounce wool body under a waxed cape is a heavy, warm stack, and it wears like one on a mild day, so the jacket stays in the closet until the temperature drops for real and stays there.

If your size is still on the board, the call is easy. A Seattle-built Filson in its two signature fabrics at 60% off won’t sit long, and 2XL already hasn’t.
