Filson has this Pacific Northwest connotation, and Barbour is decidedly British. But Tom Beckbe, a newer name in the business, has a really good Southern take on the waxed jacket. The brand is from Birmingham, Alabama, and makes its wildly popular jackets in the U.S.A.
A lot of guys will find it very similar to Barbour in look, but I find a sort of laid-back attitude in Tom Beckbe that I associate really fondly with where I grew up. Sure, the Tom Beckbe guy pheasant-hunts and fly-fishes for trout, but he’d be just as happy going after doves or spin-fishing for largemouth.
