I am proud that I work for Filson in the north west... but not for much longer... be aware they are shutting down factories in USA to produce overseas! Little left to say "MADE IN USA" Please let all know to watch labels! So sad!

Car Zie that is sad to hear. I am a big Filson fan, but I will not buy any of their products that are not made in USA
@surfearth16 жыл бұрын
That’s is the only reason I started buying them. My dad wore their products for years. Maybe I’ll buy from Woolrich if Filson becomes cop outs.

Car Zie - I just purchased a Macinaw wool vest on the Filson website. When it arrives and I find out it’s not made in the USA, I’ll be sending it back. I will not put up with that.

graycloud057 they will actually say where it’s made if you scroll down and they will still be making stuff in the USA just the hipster stuff will be made overseas so you can still buy there staple items like the mackinaw cruiser and it’ll be made in the usa

I own a tonne of Filson clothing/bags. Well over 30 pcs. I have this hat in green, and it is still as good as the day I bought it about 10-12 yrs ago. I’ve actually washed the wax out of it for more comfort, and less sweatiness. Seems the prices have gone way up, reflecting the yuppie/lumberjack buying crowd. I have other clothing labels that are more waterproof, warmer, lighter, ...but I do love wearing Filson when hunting, fishing, dog walk in the woods.

Seems to be pretty common these days. Heavy-duty hiking and outdoors clothes manufacturers have started aiming their products to people who want to look like lumberjacks or hunters even if they only visit national parks and never stray away from roads and paths. I remember when Fjällraven clothes used to be the real deal, meant to last a lifetime. Their durability has suffered greatly since then and their cut is first and foremost meant to look cool, rather than being practical. I really like the looks of Filson clothes and I do hope that they still are good quality, but the pricing is absurd. The only product that I'm actually considering right now is just their hat - the tin cloth bush hat actually (the one on this video doesn't seem to be the bush hat).

@wellmadethings Is this the tin cloth Packer or tin cloth bush hat? I like the one you have that is worn in! Thanks
@alexhren-boulis9182 жыл бұрын
It looks different. Like it's not a fedora shape. It looks like it is totally circular. Is that true?
@johnnyhorizon83686 ай бұрын
It is neither the packer nor the bush hat. It is a style they discontinued.

I just bought the XL mossy hearing that it does shrink. A little loose, but can't wait to get out on the stream. Does the bow go in front, or back?

Hi, have you noticed any shrinking or stretching with your hat? I got the shelter hat and it's a bit snug on my head... I can't tell if I should send it back. Any input is appreciated. Thanks!
@tomsamilson92007 жыл бұрын
Customer service just told me they shrink a lot.

Tom Samilson My tin cloth version shrank a lot, so I would guess you'll get shrinkage. I'd return it. Best of Luck- Sean
@timevampire837 жыл бұрын
haha! I came here to ask this very same question. I've had my eye on a tin packer hat for quite a while now and the word from the plains is that they shrink over time. My head size is 23 inches so that places me on the higher end of a 'Large', according to Filson's sizing, so I guess I should go one size up to account for the shrinkage that'll come over the years. Thanks!
