The watch doesn't just look tough, it supports its utilitarian details with 100 meters of waterproofing and a shock-resistant case.
Wear: Filson Tin Cloth Short Lined Cruiser Jacket
Worn by Rip Wheeler in Yellowstone, this tough-as-nails jacket can handle days on the ranch or weekends in the wilderness. The exterior is cut from hard-wearing, water-resistant waxed tin cloth, while a slick lining glides over shirts for easy layering. A slotted utility and flapped chest pockets offer storage when you need it and a classic workwear look when you don't.

A field blend of three grape varieties, this wine offers a crisp mix of prunes, raspberry, and red currant notes.
