Established in Seattle in 1897, Filson is the leading outfitter and manufacturer of unfailing goods and apparel. Built upon a reputation for reliability, Filson has been trusted by generations of anglers and hunters, engineers and explorers, mariners and ranchers, and anyone who refuses to stay indoors.
I first became acquainted with Filson when I moved to Seattle to start my first job after college in 1989 as an engineering geologist. I worked on civil infrastructure projects all over the Pacific Northwest and Alaska with my gear and apparel from Filson.
The thing I most appreciate about Filson is the quality of their materials. Part of what makes Filson so unique, is the consistent use of the best materials available. These materials have made truly revolutionary clothing over the years because they are so unique and distinct.
Once again I’m here to help you find the best products at Filson. I’ve found some really cool, beautiful and functional new products from their catalog. This article features a list of new arrivals that caught my attention for the spring season.

The body is lined with unwaxed cotton and the sleeves with slick polyester for easy layering. Rib-knit cuffs and a drawcord-adjustable hem seal out the wind.

Above Alaska: Bush Pilots of the Last Frontier
Willy Fulton is a floatplane pilot based in Kodiak, Alaska. The staff at Filson caught up with Willy to ask him a few questions about how he ended up there, with arguably one of the coolest jobs in the world.
Covering 663,268 square miles, Alaska is larger than Texas, California, and Montana, combined. With only 20% of that land mass accessible by road, aviation is not a luxury in Alaska. It is a necessity.
