Filson, the iconic outdoor brand, just launched its first collection for women

For 127 years, Filson has been beloved by hunters and outdoorsmen like Tim Walz. Now, the brand is on a mission to win over women.

When people think of iconic American clothing, they often imagine denim jeans, the durable, riveted pants Levi Strauss designed in the 1870s for railroad workers and ranchers in California and Nevada. But around the same period, a brand called Filson opened in Seattle, creating garments for lumberjacks that would also become classics. It developed flannel shirts, wool overcoats, and cruiser jackets.
