Filson, one of the Pacific Northwest’s most storied purveyors of outdoor goods, have just opened an incredible flagship store in the same Seattle-based building as their company headquarters. The well-appointed 6,400 square-foot space features the largest selection of the brand's products in the country, as well as a host of limited edition exclusives. The new location is a must-visit, underlining Filson's long, rich history, while also providing interesting insight into their production methods, with large windows on the first floor offering a glimpse into the factory.

Filson PH Boot by Russell Moccasin

—01. Padded collar.

Words

I’m not used to seeing a Russell Moccasin collaboration with such a well-established American company. I normally have to spend my time digging around online in Japanese select shops to find what unique creations are being commissioned. Filson have created two versions of the versatile PH Boot with water-repellent twill sides in green and tan. They have all the hallmarks of Russell’s handmade moccasin construction and are sure to sell out fast, reaching such a wide audience.

—01. Two interior tablet sleeves.

Words

A laptop or tablet is definitely a piece of gear that deserves the rugged durability of Filson’s renowned luggage. The fact is for lots of us, our devices travel almost as much as we do and this option made from Cordura nylon will surely lengthen the life and prevent accelerated wear of those items that make our lives a whole lot easier.

Legendary Pacific Northwest outfitters, Filson, have recently opened their New York City outpost in NoHo, and the 1800 square foot space is a continuation of their rugged heritage. The design concept encapsulates their traditional aesthetic, utilizing reclaimed wood from Brooklyn's Domino Sugar Factory, a 42 star flag nodding to their Washington origins, and a living plant wall from Green Fingers' founder Satoshi Kawamoto. The new location offers a selection of Filson's signature luggage, leather accessories, apparel and iconic outerwear, as well as being the first store to carry their newly released camera bag collection.

Filson Duffle Backpack

—01. Made in USA.
—02. 100% Cotton Tin Cloth.

Words

The Duffle Backpack might just be the right piece of carry-on luggage for those that do more stuffing than folding and more carrying than rolling. It would be a great durable alternative to cumbersome wheeled luggage and between the large main compartment, the internal laptop sleeve, and exterior organizer pockets, it has room for almost everything.

Filson Lined Cruiser Jacket

01. Made in USA.
02. 100% wool outer.

Words

The Cruiser, first produced by Filson in 1914, is in some ways the ultimate overshirt. Made out of a durable 100% wool fabric, it features a generous fit for ease of layering and, in this instance, a two-tone grey and navy body with a plaid flannel lining. It was originally designed for the Pacific Northwest forestry trade, so I'm sure it can withstand a whole range of climatic conditions.

Filson Large Twill Carry-on Travel Bag

—01. Navy rugged twill.

Words

Filson's range of luggage still remains a constant source of appeal despite my often fluctuating enthusiasm for the outdoors. While the line has expanded quite a bit in recent years as new combinations of fabric and colour are mixed together, it's been quite some time since new styles have been introduced. One of which, the large twill carry-on travel bag, features a great silhouette for daily use and can easily hold enough for a week away if need be. The side pockets, 3/4 zip opening and varied straps combine some of the features of two or three of their other bags making it a perfect blend of shape, size and utility.
