Filson clothing and gear.

I have the insulated tin cloth hat with earflaps. I hope I don't look like a hipster. I tend to think that I look more


like Barney Fife.

I have some of their old luggage from the 90’s and a couple older wool tops all US stuff and well made. F the China crap.

I have the strap vest for upland hunting. Used thier polos and pants for work prior to retirement. Have a couple tin cloth and makinaw coats that i use for camping and around town. Will not hunt in them due to weight.

I still like Filson stuff and have quite a bit of it. Picked up a tin cloth game vest last week. Made overseas but still good quality. Wish everything was still made stateside, but I couldnt care less about their targeted demographic. It’s good quality gear with a good warranty and customer service.

I don't think the hipster was ever Filson's intended end-market user but when sales start racking up in the hipster niche certainly can't blame them for taking advantage. Hell, there is a Filson store not from my place in Tokyo.

I have pretty much everything that carries the name mackinaw or tin cloth. The double mack jacket is expensive but it's also 30 years old now. I have been trying to wear out a pair of double tin pants most of my life.....and my tin cloth coat with wool liner has been in use on bird hunts, outdoor jobs and even a night on the town.....though it smells a bit western today.

Filson changed their marketing just like carhartt did. It's too bad. I just bought a blanket at their store in spokane and the location sure makes it uncomfortable for a guy like me to shop there.

I'm a getting older kinda guy and I have old Filson that still rocks. IF it still fits me. I have a Filson weekender kind of duffle that I was gifted 20+ years ago and it's still going strong. Used alot--every month--seems to always be half packed and ready to go...

Filson belts have always been great and long lasting for me. Have three that I rotate through regularly. Recently got a Bullhide belt---cost of Filson was a factor---we'll see if it lasts as long as my Filson belts--it might?

At the price point and quality of today's Filson there are better buys today. Also pretty sure I don't fit the modern Filson demographic anymore.

I’ve got a ton of Filson stuff

Their bird britches with the tin cloth on the front of the legs get worn all winter at the farm

I’ve been using one of their medium field bags as my deer hunting bag for over ten years and love that thing

I’m wearing a Filson puffy vest today around town.

Had a pair of their roper boots, did not like them at all

Think I also have a bird vest that I’ve outgrown. And I’ve got several Filson belts

I think I only have two pieces of Sitka gear both hoodies I bought from someone doing a gear dump. I do like them a lot

Do not own any kuiu or other of the newer performance hunting brands. I do own a fair amount of nomad stuff and plenty of carharrt

Want to sell the bird vest?

All my older gear is great… but look at the landing page on their website!

There’s no recovery from that. Filson has gone full Bud Lite.

A wise young soldier once told me, “that’s how you catch gay”.
