Wool has been the fabric of choice for protection from the elements for centuries. No other fabric can match wool for comfort in such a wide range of weather conditions. Wool insulates when wet, wicks moisture for evaporation, and is highly durable.
Filson's History with Wool
Filson was founded as a manufacturer of woolen blankets and coats in 1897 to equip prospectors bound for the Klondike Gold Rush. In that brutal weather, quality clothing and gear could determine one’s very survival, and Filson goods were widely regarded as the best obtainable. Filson wool clothing has been the top choice of foresters, sportsmen, and even the U.S. Forest Service ever since.
How to Care for Wool Sweaters
Care instructions for Filson sweaters vary. Some should only be dry-cleaned, some can be hand-washed cold, and those with waxed cotton reinforcements should not be washed or dry-cleaned. Please refer to individual product care instructions.
Why Filson?
Filson has manufactured high-quality, durable, and functional outdoor clothing and gear for well over a century, and that experience is applied to every sweater Filson makes. Only the best materials are used, and the manufacturing meets exacting standards.
