Filson was founded in Seattle in 1897, at the height of the Klondike Gold Rush. Back then, the people heading north needed gear that wouldn’t give out — clothes that could handle freezing temperatures, rough terrain, and months on the move.

C.C. Filson saw a gap in the market and started making thoughtful, quality, fit-for-purpose kit himself. Heavy wool, tough cotton, solid brass hardware. Built for real use in serious conditions.

That same principle still holds. The materials have stayed high quality, the builds are still rugged, and the designs haven’t drifted far from where they began. Filson's identity apparent in all of their products. Well-made, cool-looking gear that wears in, not out.

More than a century on, Filson is still based in the Pacific Northwest, still making functional clothing that feels honest. Jackets, bags, flannels — all designed to last, all timeless pieces you can rely on.
