The Lonely Hunter was the very first jacket I ever launched under Rugged West. It marked the beginning of the journey, and it’s always held a special place in the lineup. I’ve wanted to update the design for a while - so I did, but this time with a sharper eye and a deeper understanding of what makes a jacket truly timeless.

The Lonely Hunter has been simplified and refined, drawing inspiration from the iconic 1960’s Type 3. The goal was to make it look as classic as possible - clean lines, no fuss, just beautiful form and function.

It’s made from a brand-new British Tan steerhide that I spent months developing with the tannery. At 1.4mm thick and weighing in at 3.5oz, this hide is rich with oil and features a gorgeously irregular grain. This jacket is built to age slowly, gracefully, and honestly. Just as it should.

The fit is a touch boxy through the body with slightly slimmed-down sleeves for a cleaner silhouette. It’s lined with royal blue, black and white tartan that wears cool in the warmer months and layers easily when it’s cold. Finished with our new signature antique nickel poppers.
