It wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to say that over the past century-plus, when the going gets tough, when conditions are at their worst, the tough get going wearing Filson menswear. The legendary Pacific Northwest outfitter has dressed prospectors and explorers far afield, and draws on that lineage in the new Filson Fall/Winter 2025 Collection.
The handsome, sturdy and tough-as-nails collection takes its cues from Filson’s rugged DNA and its roots as an outfitter well-suited for the wilderness of Alaska, showcasing its wares among the brisk climes of the great north. Be it crafting one of the best chore coats on the market or teaming up with another heritage-minded company like Birkenstock, the Seattle-based company has never strayed too far from those roots, embracing them in every richly crafted stitch this season.
The Chris Stapleton-approved manufacturer assuredly has a knack for “unfailing outdoor goods,” as the Alaska-inspired Filson Fall/Winter 2025 Collection proves handily. Waxed outerwear like the utterly iconic Filson Tin Cloth Cruiser Jacket returns in full force (and in shades that call to mind a roaring fire or a warm dram of whiskey after a cold day in the field). The spirit of both new designs and icons refreshed for the modern age courses through the offering, including the very Yellowstone-esque Insulated Short Cruiser Jacket, now bolstered by cozy PrimaLoft insulation.
Filson’s trademark thick-knit watch caps and durable waxed bags are joined by textured corduroy shirting, dependable work pants given Filson’s oil finish cloth treatment, and fresh colors of the trucker jacket-inspired Short Lined Cruiser and the work jacket design of the Tin Cloth Primaloft Jacket.
Of its tightly woven cotton canvas Tin Cloth fabric, which also makes for a prime fabrication for its accessories and everyday carry essentials, the outfitter said the design has been “a staple Filson fabric for durable weather protection in the forests of the Pacific Northwest for more than a century.” Thick, weather-ready Mackinaw Wool construction is also used to great effect in wool field coats, the intriguing Mackinaw Wool Anorak and the iconic Mackinaw Wool Cruiser Jacket in a range of timeless colors and richly crafted plaids.
Canvas chore pants complement Filson’s lineup of flannel shirts in the Filson Fall/Winter 2025 Collection, including vintage wash versions of its Alaskan Guide Shirt, a collection that also includes a mid-weight and a lightweight option. Filson certainly hasn’t cut any corners, even with the addition of a series of sub-$200 selections like the new Clarkston Jac-Shirt. Of the more affordable and soon-to-be staple pieces, the company said its lineup is now made “more accessible without compromising quality.”
The field-inspired and field-tested offering, with its dependable construction, virtually unbreakable designs and a sense of rugged, long-lasting appeal, is a point of pride for the distinctly American company, it noted. “True to its heritage outfitting prospectors heading to the Alaska Gold Rush since 1897, the collection equips folks for adventure, bringing durability and certainty where none is promised.”
To outfit yourself in strong fashion for whatever lies ahead far afield, from Alaska to the rolling hills of the Great American West, find the Filson Fall/Winter 2025 Collection online and via select retailers, including its beautifully curated duo of New York City shops.
