Why Filson earned a B+
About Filson
Tin Cloth jackets and waxed bags built like they're meant to outlive you — that's the Filson reputation, and it's mostly earned. The Seattle company got its start outfitting people headed to the Klondike, and the heavy oiled fabrics and bridle leather still feel closer to gear than fashion. Things here are made to be repaired, not replaced.
That durability comes at a price, though. This is expensive stuff, and a single jacket can run you several hundred dollars, so most people buy one piece and keep it for years rather than filling a closet. You'll see it on folks who actually spend time outdoors, plus a fair number who just want something honest that ages well. Returns run 30 days, which is worth keeping in mind on a purchase this size.
What they sell
- Waxed Tin Cloth jackets and the classic Mackinaw Wool Cruiser — their signature heavy outerwear
