About Filson
Filson has been outfitting outdoorsmen in Seattle, Washington since 1897, building the rugged waxed canvas and wool garments that became the standard equipment of prospectors, hunters, loggers, and fishermen across the American Northwest.
Heritage & History
Clinton C. Filson opened his outfitting business in Seattle in 1897, capitalizing on the Klondike Gold Rush that was drawing tens of thousands of prospectors through the city northbound to Alaska. Filson's pitch was direct: buy the best gear, or buy cheap and suffer. The Klondike separated men who were properly equipped from those who were not, and the gear failures were sometimes fatal.
Filson survived the Gold Rush and built a lasting business supplying the loggers, hunters, and fishermen of the Pacific Northwest — an environment of relentless rain, cold, and physical work that is as demanding on clothing as any on earth. The company's Mackinaw wool and waxed tin cloth fabrics became synonymous with functional outdoor durability in the American Northwest.
Made in Seattle
Filson maintains manufacturing operations in Seattle, Washington, where its signature waxed canvas and wool products are cut and sewn. The Seattle factory has been producing Filson garments since the early 20th century, and the company considers domestic manufacturing an essential part of its brand authenticity.
The materials that define Filson are chosen for performance in wet, cold, Pacific Northwest conditions: heavy waxed tin cloth that sheds rain while remaining breathable, heavyweight Mackinaw wool that insulates even when wet, and bridle leather hardware that develops character with use. These are not fashion materials — they are functional choices proven by over a century of use in real working environments.
