The 10 Best Field Jackets for Men in 2023

Leave it to Huckberry and its famed in-house brand Flint and Tinder to push the boundaries of what a field jacket can bring to your wardrobe.

Modeled after old-school hunting jackets, this piece is all about heritage and modern performance.

Waxed British Millerain canvas gives the jacket some incredible sturdiness and weather-ready performance, yet it’ll still break in easily and mold to your body over time.

For good measure, the pockets offer plenty of space for EDC essentials, and the soft flannel lining is a super-warm gamechanger.

Don’t overlook storied outfitters that have been in the game for a minute when it comes time to shop for one of the best field jackets.

The Orvis Heritage Field Coat of today is every bit as well-designed now as then, cut from dependable waxed canvas and finished off with field-ready touches like gusseted shoulders for added mobility.

Note reinforced elbow patches and shooting patches at the shoulders, plus the warm and iconic corduroy collar and cuff detailing.

You could very comfortably fill your wardrobe entirely with Buck Mason gear, right down to your wallet – the all-American brand, a favorite of ours at WERD, just does that many things so well.

Count crafting this aptly named field jacket among Buck Mason’s latest accomplishments, because it delivers all the old-school style and functionality you could hope to find.

The sueded cotton canvas is a durable, tight-knit fabric fashioned into an unlined field jacket that throws it back to 1940s hunting ensembles, complete with an effortlessly cool corduroy collar. Wear it over a Buck Mason henley all weekend long.

Mission Workshop is, well, on a mission. Their goal? Craft modern performance menswear indebted to the past and yet squarely grounded in the needs of today’s stylish guy (like yourself).

That means using a blend of the old and the new – as seen in the highly technical, yet time-tested water-repellent Halley Stevensons waxed canvas exterior.

A total of eight pockets deliver maximum storage potential for your EDC from sunrise to sunset and beyond, while even the zippers are weatherproof. Best of all, the streamlined fit is sleek and flattering anywhere on the planet.

Bedford Cord isn’t quite actually corduroy fabric, but that doesn’t mean it’s not highly useful and durable, especially when turned into a modern take on the barn coat or as others call it, field jacket.

Known for its plentiful pockets, a design that hits below the waist for crucial coverage, and chambray pocketing (in this case), the newest Flint and Tinder jacket is sure to become a tried-and-true staple in your rotation.

The stand-up collar and snap front provide critical weather-ready coverage, too. The best part is, it’ll break in the more you wear it — it’s a heritage style essential for modern times.

While you very well might know Woolrich for its burly sweaters and super-warm accessories, don’t be afraid to branch out as you scour the market for a field jacket.

The exterior is wind and water-resistant, like any great field jacket, while it also boasts a wool liner for added warmth.

In addition to four oversized front pockets (in keeping with classic field jacket designs, of course), two seam-sealed zip pockets go above and beyond in keeping your daily carry safe.

If it seems like Woolrich dreamt up everything with this modern field jacket, it’s because they practically did.

Fancy a field jacket that expertly fuses the modern and the timeless? Relwen has what you seek, since the brand already draws on a hearty dose of military style for its revamped designs.

The Relwen Combat Jacket passes muster as one of the best field jackets for men thanks to its vintage-inspired design, its tough cotton-nylon blend shell and a quilted bomber inner lining for exceptional versatility.

Wear it as a travel jacket, an adventure jacket or a bit of both, because it can handle whatever you send its way (just like the throwback jackets of days gone by).

L.L. Bean knows how to take on tough conditions with the right gear (just look at its famous, fast-selling winter boots).

That approach also extends to the Northeast outfitter’s rotation of jackets, including a hard-working cotton-canvas field jacket that checks off all the right boxes.

A corduroy collar and cuffs drive home the throwback nature of the very best field jackets, while reinforced shoulders add a dash more durability to an already-tough coat.

The bi-swing shoulder design also makes this one of the best field jackets to wear for yard work and beyond, day to night.

Alpha Industries stands alone, even among other brands crafting the best field jackets for men.

After all, the U.S. brand made field jackets under military contract and to exacting specifications before producing them for the general public, and the style is still a coveted piece of history (now with a touch of modern style appeal).

The M-65 Field Jacket retains plenty of key features from decades ago, from the made-to-layer fit to the oversized front pockets, shoulder epaulettes and useful zip hood.

Believe it or not, even a style as rough-and-tumble as the field jacket can go quite a bit more luxurious, as evidenced by Paul Smith’s more fashion-forward take on the silhouette.

It’s the use of waterproof and wind-resistant Loro Piana wool that takes this handsome field coat to another level, too.

The point collar makes it feel more like a hybrid between a shirt jacket and a field jacket, so feel free to wear it as a replacement for your blazer atop a crisp white Oxford shirt.

The field jacket is all about functionality, and your favorite brands strike the right balance between useful and stylish in coming up with ever-more innovative takes on the style.

In the case of Aspesi, that means this field jacket uses strong-yet-supple nylon taffeta fabric, and then designs the jacket with a concealed zipper and buttons for a super-streamlined look.

The Military Green color option is a certified classic, while the slim-fit build offers a 21st-century finish.
