The Filson Alcan Canvas Vest performs as well on the job as it does on the open road. Combining top features from several of our work vests and waxed canvas reinforced with ballistic nylon, it stops wind and water in their tracks.The 17-oz. heavy-duty canvas is thoroughly saturated with the same wax that has made Filson's oil finish Tin Cloth such a formidable barrier to water for nearly a century. Imported from England, this special canvas is produced by the famed British Millerain, pioneers in weatherproofing fabric since 1880. A reinforcing layer of Cordura® 7-oz. ballistic nylon covers the shoulders for added protection. Ballistic nylon, originally developed for WWII flak jackets, is an exceptionally abrasion-resistant 2x2 basket weave of sturdy nylon threads, and is treated with a double PU coating for exceptional water resistance. For warmth against the skin, the collar is lined with sturdy 9.5-oz. cotton corduroy and the pockets with 12-oz.
