Down jackets are a staple of the winter wardrobe and often a lifesaver when it comes to colder weather. Having been around since the 1930s, the down jacket has been a dominant force in fashion for some time now. And while down jackets are a winter favorite because of their warmth (and let’s be honest, they’re stylish as well), we often don’t think about what’s actually inside them keeping us so warm.
The Down Collection from Buck Mason has the look and warmth that makes it worthy of being in permanent rotation in your wardrobe, but is also sustainably minded with ethically sourced down. To make the Cascade Down Jacket and Vest, Buck Mason worked closely with Allied Feather and Down, a fully traceable and humane sourcing firm. Allied Feather and Down has developed relationships directly with farms to provide better quality, higher levels of consistency, price stability and a level of transparency and traceability when buying the materials — which isn’t just better for Buck Mason, but it’s better for you, too.
The Cascade Down collection from Buck Mason is sourced responsibly, so you can feel good about staying warm this winter.
Cascade Down Expedition Jacket
This vintage-inspired down jacket is cut from a recycled polyester shell with a durable water-resistant coating. Whether you run into rain, hail or snow, you will stay cozy warm — you may even find yourself throwing it on when you’re relaxing on the couch. The jacket contains 650 fill-power traceable duck down and features a cut that is relaxed through the chest and sleeves (which leaves plenty of room for layering underneath). Made with a slightly slimmer waist, the Cascade Down Expedition Jacket has a flattering fit that’s sure to complement your outfit. The internal pocket and outer hand-warmer pockets are even lined in cozy fleece, which ensures your fingers stay warm during your coldest excursions but also protects your valuables from scratches and the like. Plus, with a removable down-filled hood, you can style this jacket however you like.

Cascade Down Expedition Vest
The Cascade Down Vest features many of the same features as its jacket sibling, but in a silhouette that’s perfect for the transitional months. You know, those days where the temperature drops but it’s not quite cold enough for a full coat. Like its sibling, this vintage-inspired down vest is also cut from a recycled polyester shell with a durable water-resistant coating. In other words, it’s just as capable as the down jacket but for slightly warmer days. The Cascade Down Vest makes no compromises when it comes to the down it’s filled with either. It has the same responsibly sourced 650 fill-power traceable duck down stuffed into quilted channels. With plenty of internal pockets and flap-secured chest pockets, you can stash your keys, phone and wallet easily for running your weekend errands.
