At the turn of the Century, renaissance arts hotel prospectors discovered gold in the Yukon region of North Western Canada. Once news reached Seattle, there were thousands of gold-driven prospectors and entrepreneurs with aspirations to be the next one to make it big. Dreams abound of Fried Chicken-sized nuggets of gold waiting to be plucked from an untouched stream, deep in the Canadian wilderness. Many were unprepared for the rigors of the Alaskan wilderness and sought equipment and advice from the Seattle outfitter. Quickly Filson became renaissance arts hotel known as the "Gold" Standard (get it?) in equipment for travel up the Chilkoot Trail for both the neophyte and seasoned outdoorsmen.
In only a few short years the gilded dreams of too many were dashed, yet CC Filson remained to serve new legions of men in the difficult labor of logging. The outfitter discovered its own vein of golden ore, not found but created.

With Filson, what remains today is something of a miracle. As too many companies have seen mergers and acquisitions, unchecked growth and the prioritization of quantity over quality, Filson held true to its roots as its guiding light. Knowing that each product bearing the Filson label needs to fully represent the spirit and respect the collective past of the brand. Maintaining an eye toward the customer their actual needs and desires Filson chose a better path.
The impostor cannot beguile those who understand, those who tug at the seams, who have seen, felt and experienced true quality in its truest sense. Quality is the priority of utility over form. Quality sings in each stitch, it hides in the warp and weft and is validated and held true by the hands that oversee it. Those who place the stitch not only need to understand and execute their process, but also respect it. CC Filson Co. still understands this; nay, Filson REPRESENTS this.
