Here’s why Filson has made the only clothes you need for the outdoors this winter

The outdoors offers countless lessons in patience and persistence. Conditions are often unforgiving, ever-changing, and unpredictable – a great metaphor for life at the current moment in time. The more time you spend outdoors, the more you realize just how important durable, high-quality gear is. Whether you’re camping, biking, or hiking during this holiday season, you need the best outdoor clothing to keep you moving without weighing you down. With so much out of your control, and often so few tools at your disposal, you need to be able to do more with less.

This winter, suit up in your best gear and fearlessly face the elements with Filson. Filson has been crafting long-lasting American heritage outwear for over 120 years. It’s a company that makes its products to last, and they withstand the test of time and changing elements. Just as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, you can depend on Filson for high-quality outwear. So many things may be uncertain, but if you enjoy the challenge of weathering the great outdoors, Filson makes products you can count on no matter what the world may throw at you.

The quality of this flannel is apparent at first glance. The rugged shirt is made of breathable midweight cotton with a soft brushed interior, so it feels worn-in from the first use and only gets better with age. The pleated back allows for a full range of motion in the shoulders, which means you never have to worry about going full Hulk-man and ripping the seams at the back. Like all Filson gear, it’s incredibly versatile and looks great with a nice pair of denim and boots or out on the trail. It’s wind-resistant and roomy so you layer without feeling claustrophobic. Cold weather is no match for this comfortable, sturdy winter essential.

Donning an asymmetric upper construction, the sneaker is made with synthetic fiber uppers composed of mesh, woven, and ribbed finishings. A sleek midsole and TRUSSTIC support system give the design maximum cushion and stability. Also included in the design is a rearfoot GEL technology to improve impact absorption.

TWOTHIRDS is the spring and summer collection you AND the Earth needs
Saving the world by removing one antiquated business practice
TWOTHIRDS salmon sweater

The fashion industry is one of the most wasteful on the planet. Almost every brand, indeed all of the big ones, uses the same process for creating the product you have on your back right now. Of course, each garment must be produced in a warehouse and shipped to you or the store where you pick it up. Mostly, that is standard, and many brands have done all they can to limit waste and its environmental impact. However, there is also the process of producing a large-size run to accommodate everyone who wants to buy one. Business approaches and algorithms are used to anticipate how many smalls, mediums, larges, and fringe sizes they will need, but on average, 10-30% of those products end up in landfills. But TWOTHIRDS is doing it differently to limit waste and save the environment, all while ensuring you look as good as possible.
Pre-order makes the product better for the environment

The company just dropped its ss25 collection, and it is full of everything you need for the transition months between the extremely cold and the uncomfortably hot. From light sweaters and jackets to long-sleeve tees and shorts, these are the looks you want to have when the sun comes out. But what sets them apart is their pre-order system, which is how they are changing how we buy clothes. Instead of producing as many garments in each size they THINK they need, they instead release their collections for pre-order and only make what people buy. No waste, high-quality, and stylish. This is how it should have been done all along.
