Filson Dry Wax Short Field Jacket Dark Brown

FILSON DRY WAX SHORT FIELD JACKET DARK BROWN
A lightweight waxed jacket built for use in mixed weather and everyday wear.

The Filson Dry Wax Short Field Jacket Dark Brown is a lightweight waxed jacket built for field use in mixed weather and everyday wear.

The design of the Filson Dry Wax Short Field Jacket is modeled after Filson's iconic field jacket — a timeless silhouette deeply rooted in the history of American outdoor wear. Inspired by classic field and hunting jackets, this model combines lightweight dry-waxed cotton with practical field features. The washable dry-waxed fabric offers water resistance without the weight or stiffness of traditional waxed canvas, making it the perfect companion for warmer weather field use and daily wear.

LIGHTWEIGHT PROTECTION AND PRACTICAL COMFORT

Thanks to the hip-length cut, this field jacket offers excellent freedom of movement and is well-suited for daily use both in and out of the field. Whether you're working, engaging in outdoor activities, or getting in and out of a vehicle, the jacket never restricts your motion.

For added comfort, the collar is lined with cotton cavalry twill, providing a soft, protective barrier against wind and cold next to the skin. The jacket is fully lined with a combination of lightweight canvas and polyester taffeta for added comfort. The front zipper is protected by a snap-secure storm guard and the adjustable cuffs are secured with snap tabs — keeping out wind and cold even when the weather turns.

THE IDEAL LIGHTWEIGHT WAXED FIELD JACKET

The Filson Dry Wax Short Field Jacket is the ideal choice for those who want the iconic Filson field jacket aesthetic in a lighter, washable waxed finish.

• Washable Dry-Wax: Unlike traditional Tin Cloth (waxed) versions, this jacket is machine washable and offers a lighter, more natural feel while still providing water resistance.

FILSON DRY WAX SHORT FIELD JACKET FIT: Hip-length cut with room for layering. We recommend sizing down.

Most Filson jackets, shirts and sweaters are roomy — and the Dry Wax Short Field Jacket follows this tradition. The hip-length cut provides comfortable room for layering over shirts, flannels or light sweaters. We recommend sizing down, but if you plan to wear heavier layers underneath, consider ordening your own size.

FAQ'S ABOUT THE FILSON DRY WAX SHORT FIELD JACKET

Is the Filson Dry Wax Short Field Jacket waterproof?

The Dry Wax Short Field Jacket is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. The dry-waxed cotton fabric repels light rain and moisture effectively, making it ideal for mixed weather conditions. In heavy prolonged rain, a fully waxed jacket such as the Tin Cloth would offer more protection.

What is the difference between Dry Wax and Filson Tin Cloth?

Dry Wax is a lightweight, washable waxed cotton that offers water resistance with a softer, more natural feel. Tin Cloth is a heavier, oil-impregnated waxed canvas that provides superior water resistance and abrasion protection, but feels stiffer and requires re-waxing. Dry Wax is ideal for warmer weather and daily use, while Tin Cloth excels in the harshest conditions.

How does the Filson Dry Wax Short Field Jacket fit?

The Filson Dry Wax Short Field Jacket has a comfortable hip-length fit and runs large. We recommend sizing down. When sizing down the cut still offers good freedom of movement and leaves room for layering over a shirt or light sweater. 

Is this jacket suitable for layering?

Yes. The hip-length cut and roomy fit make it well-suited for layering. In cooler months you can easily wear it over a flannel or light sweater, while in milder temperatures it can be worn comfortably over a T-shirt or shirt.

What is the Dry Wax Short Field Jacket designed for?

The Dry Wax Short Field Jacket is engineered for daily wear and light field use. It provides water resistance and practical field features — including welted hand pockets, a rear game pocket, and an interior stow pocket — making it equally suited for outdoor activities, hunting, and everyday use.

How do I care for the Filson Dry Wax Short Field Jacket?

The Dry Wax Short Field Jacket is machine washable. Machine-wash cold on a gentle cycle with soap flakes or non-biological detergents. Do not bleach. Do not dry clean. Tumble-dry low with low heat. Cool-iron if needed.
