Born in 1897, the Seattle based brand, Filson has created products using only the best quality and most durable vegetable tanned bridle leathers and rugged cottons, that will last many years and in some cases generations. We are in love with their dedication and pride taken in making durable bags, as well as their maintenance of the American made tradition.
Take a closer look into their American made materials, photos and content courtesy of Filson.

FILSON ~ RUGGED QUALITY FOR OVER
100 YEARS
Filson, a
leading outfitter for outdoor enthusiasts, is committed to providing the
highest quality apparel that stands up to the toughest
conditions. Filson puts the same care into all our products that
C.C. Filson insisted on since 1897. We believe that no one can craft our heavy
wools, rugged cottons, and genuine bridle leather with the same quality and
durability that we can get right here in Seattle. Whether you're active in
drenching rain, brush and briars, or severe cold and snow. Filson makes a
natural fabric that will stand up to the worst abuse, and keep functioning for
many years -- in some cases for generations. Rugged, durable, and
comfortable. These qualities never go out of style. Filson's legacy is built
upon its reputation for reliability, satisfaction, and honest values. The
brand's tough yet comfortable outdoor clothing is a favorite among hunters and
fishermen, engineers and explorers, mariners and miners, and anyone who has a
passion for the outdoors. Renowned for proprietary fabrics such as
heavyweight Tin Cloth and warm, rugged Mackinaw Wool, Filson's quality apparel
and accessories have made it a trans-generational brand. Filson operates a
Union Sewing Factory at its headquarters in Seattle, Washington.
