Filson
Seattle maker of outdoor clothing, accessories and luggage since 1897.
Filson was founded in Seattle in 1897 by Clinton C. Filson as C.C. Filson's Pioneer Alaska Clothing and Blanket Manufacturers, supplying prospectors bound for the Klondike Gold Rush with clothing, blankets, boots and sleeping bags. After the gold rush it shifted to gear for hunting, fishing and logging.
The Seattle-based company designs and sells men's and women's outdoor clothing, accessories and luggage, including Tin Cloth and wool garments and bridle-leather-trimmed canvas bags. It sells through its own stores, its website and authorized dealers.
Since 2012 Filson has been owned by Bedrock Manufacturing Co., the firm of Fossil Group founder Tom Kartsotis. According to the company, the share of products made in the U.S. fell from 90% in 2015 to 35% in 2025.
