FAQs

Can I put my Filson Tin Cloth jacket in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing or dry cleaning will permanently strip the protective oil finish from the fabric.

How often should I re-wax the jacket?

You should re-wax your jacket whenever you notice the fabric no longer beads water, or if it starts to look dry and faded.

Are the pockets large enough for modern smartphones?

Yes, the expandable front pockets are designed for large items, though they are primarily optimized for gear and shells.

Is the jacket waterproof?

It is highly water-resistant, making it perfect for rain and snow, but it is not intended to be fully waterproof like a rubberized rain shell.

Does this jacket come with a liner included?

No, the jacket does not include a liner, but it is compatible with Filson liners that can be purchased separately.

Troubleshooting

The fabric is losing its water-repellent property

The wax coating has worn off; apply a fresh layer of Filson oil finish wax to the exterior fabric.

Mud or debris is stuck in the fabric fibers

Allow the mud to dry completely, then use a stiff-bristled brush to knock the dirt loose.

The zipper is difficult to operate

Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and gently clean the track; you may apply a small amount of paraffin wax to the teeth to improve movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket is designed as a standalone piece but is built to accommodate Filson liners (sold separately) for added thermal regulation. To keep the jacket performing at its peak, avoid all forms of machine washing or dry cleaning, which will remove the vital oil finish. Maintenance is simple: use a stiff brush to remove dried mud and dirt. For localized spills or general cleaning, wipe the surface with a clean, damp cloth. Over time, as the water-repellent finish wears off, you should apply Filson oil finish wax to restore the fabric's protective properties. Store the jacket in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to prevent mold from developing on the heavy-duty cotton.
