Filson once stood as an emblem of rugged durability and timeless craftsmanship in outdoor apparel and gear. Established in 1897 during the Klondike Gold Rush, Filson earned a reputation for outfitting prospectors with sturdy garments made to withstand the harshest conditions. However, in recent years, the brand has experienced a noticeable decline, marked by wavering quality, price increases, and missteps in brand management.

Reviews of high quality workwear, boots, and clothing for men to help you own better and own less. I've been working with my hands for my entire life as a mechanic, tow truck driver, and eventually a licensed electrician. Being a blue collar guy, I look for certain elements in a product: is it durable? Is it high-quality? Will it perform well over its service life? Whether boots, pants, jackets, or tools I believe it's best to buy once and cry once by getting the best you can afford. With so many options these days, choosing the best product can become a difficult decision, but that's where I come in. Helping you stay stylish, rugged, and handsome.
I don't care where it's made as long as it's made well and allows you to own less and own better.
