Which Tom Beckbe Jacket Is Right For You?

Why: The very first Tom Beckbe product made and still our best seller, we designed the Tensaw Jacket to be functional, stylish, and uniquely American. We wanted a jacket that was rugged enough to work as a true hunting jacket but also stylish enough to wear to the office and around town. The result of that effort was the Tensaw. It has a distinctive silhouette with set-in sleeves and a standing collar. Constructed from a waxed shelter cloth, we have been manufacturing Tensaws in the United States since 2015. 

Who: Originally designed for discerning sportsmen who wanted to buck the trend of jackets from familiar names made in far off places, the Tensaw has fans who never venture into the field but enjoy its rugged utility and style. 

Where: Named for one of the five rivers that comprise the fabled Mobile-Tensaw Delta in lower Alabama, the Tensaw Jacket is at home in a duck blind, walking open prairies in fall, on horseback, at your local watering hole, and during a morning commute. 

Fit: The Tensaw has our trademark classic fit, which sits right between the relaxed, baggy fits of yesterday and slim / tailored fits. The Tensaw is designed to be flattering but not restrictive, with gusseted underarms and a bi-swing back with a length that hits mid-thigh.

Why: New for Fall 2024, we developed the Paddock Jacket to offer an insulated jacket that married the technical performance of our popular Fowler Jacket with the easy-wearing, everyday silhouette of our best-selling Piedmont Jacket. Insulated with 100 gsm of HD Wool, the Paddock has a weatherproof 5.5oz waxed cotton shell that has a soft hand with a classic finish.

Who: Anyone who appreciates a classic waxed cotton jacket and wants the added warmth of wool insulation.

Where: The Paddock is rugged enough for country life but equally comfortable around town.

Fit: The Paddock Jacket has a classic fit that is more tailored in the chest, shoulders, and body than our other outerwear styles. If you already own a Tom Beckbe jacket and fill it out, take the next size up in the Paddock Jacket.

Why: The Chatom is our riff on the classic ranch jacket of the American West. Made with 8.25oz weatherproof waxed shelter cloth, the Chatom separates itself from run-of-the-mill ranch jackets with our hallmark attention to detail, an exceptional fit, and technical features, like a bi-swing back, that provide comfort and mobility. 

Who: Outdoorsmen who prefer a jacket with a shorter, trimmer silhouette without trading comfort and mobility. 

Where: Drawing inspiration from the classic look of the American West, the Chatom Jacket is equally at home on the ranch and in a hunting blind. 

Fit: Our shortest, trimmest jacket, the Chatom sits right at the waist.

Why: Layered properly, a vest might be the most versatile outerwear piece in your closet. We made the Fowler Vest as a warmer compliment to our acclaimed Kinsman Vest. Quilted with revolutionary HD Wool, the Fowler Vest marries the natural thermal regulating properties of wool with the original weatherproof fabric – waxed shelter cloth. Oversized handwarmer pockets lined with moleskin and an insulated, removable hood complete the ultimate winter vest for the discerning sportsman. 

Who: Made for winter outdoor enthusiasts, the Fowler is perfect for cold, nasty weather. Ideal for anyone who enjoys being outside in winter and appreciates the natural performance of wool and waxed canvas.  

Where: As the name suggests, the Fowler was designed initially for the coldest days in a duck blind. But the Fowler’s natural warmth and technical features offer universal appeal for anyone braving the cold. 

Fit: The Fowler Vest has a classic fit very similar to the Kinsman Vest. Sizing has been adjusted to account for the wool insulation, so you can take the same size as your Kinsman and other Tom Beckbe vests.
