Originally patented in 1914, C.C. Filson’s Cruiser was designed for foresters working in the rain-soaked Pacific Northwest forests. The Cruiser rapidly became one of the most imitated jackets on the market. By the 1940’s, Filson was producing variations of the Cruiser as U.S.F.S. field and uniform attire.
This piece is vintage, and carries its paper tag. Reads Lot 175, size 42, CC Filson Co Seattle, 100% Wool. I am guessing mid 70s based on the label.
4 snap front pockets, with slots for pens or small tools under the left breast pocket flap. Small slot pocket under the left hip snap pocket. Whipcord is similar to what they now call Forestry Cloth. Style 175
Large back snap map pocket
Marked size 42.
This jacket is practically PERFECT. It does not appear to have been worn. It still has its new-feeling stiffness and needs to be worn & broken in a bit. The only clue that it may have been worn is that some enamel wear on buttons
