Ohio-based and heritage-inspired, Relwen is always hard at work delivering reliable apparel rooted in the label’s Midwest origins, combining workwear and military gear for some rugged style built for the long haul. The label often looks to classic clothing like the field jacket, which was once reliable combat gear that became a menswear staple when cooking up new pieces, and the Sailcloth Tanker Jacket is another excellent example.
Designed for layering, this field jacket-inspired piece is a true jack of all trades, delivering the storage options of a field jacket with the protection that comes with a typical tanker jacket. It’s composed of a wind and water-resistant cotton woven shell and ultra-light nylon to keep you dry. The stand-up collar and overall silhouette are also unmistakably tanker-inspired – or “giving tanker,” as the kids would say – with a tapered waist bolstered by snap cuff sleeves that follow your natural movement.
Keeping the spirit of why not both? alive, the Sailcloth Tanker boasts dual-closure button snaps, a zipper on the placket for added protection against the elements, and a breathable mesh-lined yoke to prevent overheating. As for the storage options, you’re in good hands with a set of classic field jacket chest pockets fit for your EDC gear, two zippered hand pockets by the waist, and a discreet zippered chest pocket to keep essentials safe and sound.
We featured the Muted Olive colorway here, but you can choose from three more options: the subtler Midnight, a bold Black look, or a fully camoed-out design that shows off its military inspiration to a tee. The fit here is classic with a tapered waist, and the jacket comes pre-washed, so you don’t have to worry about it shrinking too soon.
The Relwen Sailcloth Tanker Jacket is available now over at Huckberry for $288. Pick up this perfect springtime companion for any unpredictable forecasts on the horizon.
