Filson’s Vintage Flannel Work Shirt Is A Wonderful Garment For City Or Country

Headquartered in Seattle, Filson was established in 1897 and is the leading outfitter and manufacturer of unfailing goods for the outdoors. Built upon a reputation for reliability and connecting people to the wild, we’re a favorite among anglers and hunters, engineers and explorers, mariners and adventurers, and anyone who refuses to stay indoors. Renowned for making products from fabrics such as heavyweight Tin Cloth and warm Mackinaw Wool, Filson stands for the highest quality and most durable apparel and accessories available.

The Filson’s Vintage Flannel Workshirt ($165) has been a staple in my wardrobe since its debut in 2015. Crafted with thick cotton material that’s also breathable, it provides plenty of warmth for chilly days. Its fabric is brushed to perfection for softness and heat retention. Available in 10 vintage flannel patterns.

Dual shoulder pleats on the back of the yoke allow for movement when you’re working overhead or performing activities like fly fishing or shooting. The buttons that close the front and adjust the cuffs are virtually unbreakable, so you don’t have to worry about them coming undone anytime soon.

I’ve bought several of Filson’s warm cotton vintage flannel shirts. People often ask me where I found them, as it is obvious the garment is well made. It fits comfortably over a shirt or vest and offers superior performance when working on projects or in the garden. I appreciate its soft feel and resilient durability. In such a world of cheap goods, it is wonderful to be able to purchase high quality clothing like this.

Forsake’s Whitetail Mid Men’s Waterproof Winter Boot is Warm, Rugged, and Ready for Anything

Forsake creates shoes for those looking to break boundaries and explore something new. Their all-weather footwear is crafted with outdoor technology, sturdy construction, and an elegant aesthetic. With the mountains as their muse, these products are designed to fit you during any journey.

Sam and Jake left their lives on the East coast in 2009, seeking the snowy havens of Big Sky, MT and Alta, UT. With jobs secured and apartments rented, they could now ski to their heart’s content. The Alpine conditions, however, put a real strain on their shoes. With materials tearing and feet slipping due to water leaking everywhere, they decided to make something better: rugged and reliable sneakers. Thus Forsake was born in 2012 – for Sam and Jake.
