FILSON: 125 YEARS OF HISTORY

This story begins in 1897, in Seattle, back in the years of the legendary Klondike Gold Rush. Thousands of adventurers, traveling to Alaska in search of their fortunes, ended up swinging through Seattle, Washington, to get supplies and prepare for the expedition. And right there in Seattle, a small store was gaining an increasing reputation for its Mackinaw wool clothing, comfortable and durable, ideal for dealing even with the dreadful climate of the Deep North. There, amid sweaters, jackets, shoes and boots, bustled a very young Clinton C. Filson, unaware that 125 years later, those same garments that he then produced with great effort and commitment from his own mill, would become true icons of American outdoor clothing.

This year Filson is celebrating a very special birthday indeed: 125 years of history, quality and caring for its community. It is said that a company that surpasses 100 years can accomplish anything. As a matter of fact, Filson continues to prove itself a brand loved and appreciated by explorers, adventurers and sportsmen, just as it was back in those early years of its story, in the late 19th century. Attention to the quality of materials and manufacturing processes, respect for consumer needs and desires, transparency and commitment have made Filson much more than a clothing brand, but a true reference for all outdoor and adventure lovers. Indeed, it is no coincidence that Filson garments are guaranteed for life, proof of the brand's efficiency and unfailing quality. To mark the 125th anniversary of the brand's founding, Filson has released a limited edition of one of its most iconic and representative items: the Mackinaw Wool Cruiser Jacket, the unmistakable checked jacket made of Mackinaw Wool. The Cruiser Jacket is one of Filson's most beloved and most imitated items on the market, to the point that in 1914 it was even trademarked to keep it exclusive. Durable Mackinaw wool with an exceptionally dense weave makes this jacket perfect for protection against even the worst weather conditions. No matter the wind and rain, your Mackinaw jacket will keep you warm and dry in spite of it all. The special edition of the Cruiser Jacket comes straight from Filson's archives: each model has been hand-sewn and individually numbered, which is why it is one-of-a-kind and available only as a limited edition. Join the celebration as well, get ready to go on your next adventure with Filson!
