When the snow begins to clear up, your fall jackets should make for a handy substitute to your puffy winter rotation. If you’re looking for something rugged-looking to add to the closet, though, Timberland’s Mount Davis M65 Waxed Jacket should fit in well with the transitional season.
Based on the classic M65 field jacket, the garment comes with the same rugged styling as the original military outerwear. Seriously, the darn thing looks worn from the get-go. Paired with a workwear-style construction, it should make for an ideal jacket, whether for wearing at job sites, workshops, or a casual day around town.
The Timberland Mount Davis M65 Waxed Jacket is made from 100 percent waxed cotton canvas, rending it resistant to mild rain showers and damp conditions. Do note, it doesn’t have sealed seams, so you may want to pick something else out of the closet during torrential downpours, but it should withstand the light showers we typically expect in the upcoming months. It comes in a longer length than the traditional M65 jackets, making for a more rugged and more functional piece.
Torso lining is cut in cotton twill, with the sleeve lined in 100 percent nylon, so this should be plenty comfortable. Features include four front pockets, a hood that stows in a zippered pocket on the collar, and drawstrings both on the hood and waist. Like other waxed canvas garments, they recommend not washing and simply brushing off any grime with cold water.
Available now, the Timberland Mount Davis M65 Waxed Jacket is priced at $198.
