Filson was established in Seattle, Washington in 1897 to supply clothing
for the Alaska gold rush. As their place in the market they chose to supply
the best quality available, and did so successfully. From the prospectors and
miners their sales soon extended to the construction workers and loggers throughout
Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. Today Filson, recognized for its comfort, protection and durability, is acknowledged
as the finest outdoor clothing available, by both men and women throughout the
world. Filson's reputation for quality extends to their Rugged Twill Luggage
and accessories, living up to their motto "Might as Well Have the Best".

There are no secrets to Filson quality, just a simple dedication to using top
grade materials in functional designs, put together to last. Many of the fabrics
used are not available on the general market and must be loomed to Filson's
own specifications. From the pure Mackinaw Wool, through the Tin Cloth for rugged
wear and luggage, to the pure cotton Safari Cloth for summer weather use, the
Filson fabrics are outstanding. Filson's Cover Cloth continues
the Filson tradition of quality with a new and improved British waxed cotton
for outstanding wind and water protection in a light and comfortable fabric.
Many of the Filson items we carry are made in the USA, in Filson's own Seattle
factory. In recent years Filson has outsourced some of its items in order
to utilize factories that are best suited to specific products. Filson's
heavy wool garments, waxed cotton garments and rugged twill luggage are all
well suited to the manufacturing strengths of Filson's own Seattle factory,
and will continue to be manufactured in Seattle. Filson has found that, in
order to maintain their commitment to quality, some of the lighter weight
outerwear and sportswear is better manufactured in factories other than
their own, including overseas. The overseas factories Filson has selected
have invested in technically advanced machinery and maintain the highest
levels of craftsmanship to manufacture products consistent with Filson's
high standards.
