The latest batch of Filson x Levi’s goods were put out for sale today and I walked down to the flagship store here in Seattle to see them in person. Some thoughts and observations:
- My favorite from this set is the sawtooth shirt made from dry finish tin cloth and oil finish tin cloth [...]

Filson’s bridle leather belts are among the best on the market, and at just under $50 each they are some of the most affordable. You can get them in any color you want, so long as it is brown with brass hardware.
Still made in the USA.
Not too long ago, Filson went on the record to say they weren’t going to do any sort of fashion line like Woolrich Woolen Mills, but instead would be looking at adapting some of their existing pieces to the younger crowds for this fall – if the new workwear line for Levi’s is what the [...]

The news of the Levi’s workwear line by Filson led me their Japanese distributor’s website this evening, where I noticed that they’re now showing a bit more of the Filson Italy line along with some great pictures of the new Osaka store (conveniently located above a Champion sweatshirt store).

A short one anyways. Last week I received the special Filson x Apolis Activism briefcase that I had ordered several months ago. I ended up not keeping it, which I’ll explain in a moment. Except for the fabric, it’s the same in every aspect as the regular Filson 256 model, and it [...]
I was recently able to track down a pair of the older USA made Filson upland chukkas from a small store out in New England (I’m still working on a pair of the Highlanders). The upland boots to the right in the pictures below are my pair of choice to wear out in the [...]

Filson recently switched vendors for their boots, but to whom? The new versions seem off for some reason.
“Country Of Origin: Imported” – WTF?
The styles look the same, but the hardware and leather in the new versions look questionable in their stock photos. I guess I should hold judgment until I see them in person.
Update: [...]

I believe that both Context and Farinelli’s have sold all of their preorders for the special Filson x Apolis Activism briefcase, but it looks like you might still have a chance to get one straight from the source: http://www.apolisactivism.com/?event=startPreorder
Context also has some great interviews on their site concerning the work and ideas behind the bag: [...]
