Filson - Rugged quality for over 125 years. Born in 1850, C. C. Filson inherited the pioneering spirit and love of nature from his father. After establishing a settlement in Nebraska and moving across the country as a railway conductor, he moved to the small town of Seattle, Washington in the 1890s. There he started his own company and became the first go-to place for hundreds of gold diggers heading north during the gold rush of the late 19th century. Since then, the name 'Filson' has been synonymous with uncompromising quality and robust materials! And after the gold diggers, it was mainly hunters, anglers, sailors and miners who appreciated Filson's robust and comfortable outdoor clothing. And this has not changed until today!
