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.

If you’ve ever struggled with what jacket to bring on a camping trip, that ends here. The Filson Mackinaw Wool Cruiser is the only jacket you’ll ever need.

It insulates wet or dry and can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in water without feeling damp or clammy. Originally patented in 1914, the Mackinaw Wool Cruiser is still hailed over 100 years later by outdoorsman for its versatility in all conditions and seasons.

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.

Serious Question: Why are you wearing anything OTHER than Taylor Stitch this fall?
Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist.

I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?
