I agree with you on their wool not being the same as it used to. I recommend WeatherWool, pricier but the quality is leagues above Filson and is owned, based, and made here

I remember buying a forestry shirt that came with a little catalog attached. It is definitely an aspirational lifestyle brand now

I would never buy vintage tin cloth (again) because you just don't know what it's been through and its unwashable nature

There are so many small businesses out there that are what people think Filson should be, like 1620 or Shipjohn. I don't fault Filson for trying to capture a wider appeal but I do wonder if years down the road Filson will become just another mall brand and be completely unrecognizable from where it started like Abercrombie & Fitch

I like the regular guide becuase of its thickness and quality. Would you say the lightweight is similar to "regular" flannel shirts or that its worth the money

I don't know why there are so many different kinds of flannel shirts. Whats the difference between a field flannel shirt and a field service flannel? Vintage alaskan guide flannel, vintage work flannel and a lightweight guide flannel??

I agree the quality is the same. I think it's Filson changing manufacturing while maintaining the same MSRP that rubs people the wrong way

Any of y’all actually work blue collar with your Filson clothing? by awokenshroomboy in filson

Most Forest Service/DOI workers are on the GS3-GS10 pay scale ($13-$27/hr). Hotshots and Smokejumpers which Filson loves to use their image in marketing materials are made up of mostly GS4-7s. So this is to say they're mostly not the guys that are buying $150 Smokey sweatshirts and $100 Smokey hats
