Filson Clothes
Filson. "Might As Well Have The Best"..
It's A Promise Kept For 110 Years.
Filson began in 1897 when C C Filson designed
the Mackinaw Wool Apparel and Rugged Boots to outfit the explorers of the great
Klondike Gold Rush. Back in that era, clothing wasn't a matter of choice but
that of survival. Filson designed and manufactured durable, outdoor clothing
for miners, loggers, fisherman, mariners, and explorers who spent time roaming
and working the harsh outback territory between Washington and Alaska.
Over the years, Filson's philosophy has never
changed: make sure it's the absolute best. Clinton Filson spent a lot of time
talking to his customers and refining his designs to their specifications. So
it's not surprising that the items that worked then still work today, over 100
years later. Comfort, protection and durability never go out of style.
When you buy a Filson product whether it be a
piece of Filson Clothing or a piece of Filson Luggage, you can be confident that
you have purchased the highest quality product available, guaranteed to
withstand the test of time.
"To our customers: If a man is going
North, he should come to us for his outfit, because we have obtained our ideas
of what is best to wear in that country from the experience of the man from the
North - not merely one - but hundreds of them.
Our materials are the very best
obtainable, for we know that the best is none too good and the quality is of
vital importance.
You can depend absolutely upon our goods
both as material and workmanship"
--C.C. Filson, 1914 Cataolg
