Overview

Tagline

Unfailing Goods Since 1897
FILSON was founded in 1897 in Seattle, Washington, by C.C. Filson (Clinton C. Filson) as a longstanding outfitter for outdoor and workwear. It grew in response to the demand for equipment from prospectors heading to the Alaska Gold Rush, and today offers apparel and gear including outerwear, shirts, bags, and luggage. Under the tagline “Unfailing Goods Since 1897,” it makes products that prioritize practicality in harsh environments and long-term use.
