Since 1897, Filson has built its reputation on producing rugged, hardwearing outdoor clothing and gear designed for people who work and play in the harshest environments. Rooted in the spirit of the American frontier, Filson remains committed to making products that are built to last, guided by their ethos: “Might as well have the best.”
Filson’s origins can be traced to the Klondike Gold Rush, where C.C. Filson recognised a need for durable clothing capable of withstanding extreme conditions. Over the decades, Filson has remained true to this heritage, creating garments that offer protection, functionality, and comfort whether in the woods, on the water, or in everyday life.
Today, Filson’s collection extends well beyond outdoor workwear. It includes waxed jackets, field coats, wool shirts, rucksacks, and leather goods, crafted using premium materials such as heavyweight Tin Cloth, Mackinaw wool, bridle leather, and industrial-grade canvas. Every Filson item reflects a commitment to quality, reinforced by traditional manufacturing techniques and attention to detail.
Recent collaborations, such as with renowned British designer Nigel Cabourn, exemplify how Filson blends tradition with innovation. The Filson Adjustable Hunt Coat, featuring 16 oz paraffin-waxed cotton, a corduroy collar, and a detachable hood, draws inspiration from vintage military designs, while offering practical features for today’s outdoor demands. Every piece develops a unique patina over time, giving each garment a character of its own.
Whether you're hunting, hiking, fishing, or simply appreciate authentic craftsmanship, Filson offers equipment and apparel that can be trusted for a lifetime of use. Explore our full Filson Collection at The Sporting Lodge today.
