Since then, Filson has continued to develop unique, all-natural fabrics for every outdoor condition. Whether you're active in drenching rain, brush and briars, or severe cold and snow, Filson makes a natural fabric that will stand up to the worst abuse, and keep functioning for many years - in some cases for generations.
Take our Cruiser. We've used the same design, fabric, and quality construction since 1914. After all, the forces of nature haven't changed.
When it comes to providing outdoorsmen with the best there is - we're just getting started. The Filson name, then and now, is synonymous with reliability, satisfaction and honest values. We're fiercely proud of that heritage. And as long as we have any say in the matter, that's how it's going to stay.
In 1914 founder C.C. Filson said "..our materials are the very best obtainable, for we know that the best is none too good and that quality is of vital importance." The same is true of every Filson today.
When it comes to quality and durability, perhaps long-time customer Ray Morris said it best:
"My dad, my grown sons, and I live on farmland that's been in our family for nearly a century. We're all avid outdoorsmen, and hunt and fish year round (my 80-year-old father got two deer last season.) We also raise our own beef. The only clothing we've found that can stand up to all that hard work, cold and rain is Filson. It just a wears forever. In fact, my son Avery just inherited my dad's old Double Mac Cruiser and it's as good as new.
A few years back we got 48 inches of snow in two days. When the weather finally cleared, my son and I fired up our 1948 John Deere tractor at 8 am and plowed snow until 10 that night...in -10 degree weather. We walked into the house that night warm and dry because of our Filsons. Thank you for making a product that has held up to hard wear, lousy weather...and three generations of Morrisses."

"I just had to write and tell you what a terrific staff you have answering the phones at Filson. I called...to ask for a stronger belt loop for the Double Ranger I bought my husband. Greg said "no problem" and sent the strongest keeper you've got. Then, we launched off into a discussion about the Tin Cloth Cruiser vs the Jacket... Through this lengthy talk...which covered gussets to sleeve lengths to collars, Greg was helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, immensely patient, and really fun, too. Altogether a delightful experience."
"This is not my first experience like this with Filson."
"I think your slogan, 'might as well have the best,' must have been written about your well-trained, personable staff, and your uncompromising customer service policy. Thanks again!"
