As far as heritage brands go, Filson is all about honesty, quality and durability. The brand, which was founded in 1897 with the intent to protect from harsh weather conditions like what Hume Nisbet experienced in the Yukon in 1897:

“Try to recall your sensations on the coldest night you have ever known: try to intensify the most bitter ice blast that has ever pierced your marrow by a thousand fold; even then you will not be able to realize spring in the Chilkoot Canyon, far less midwinter on the Klondike.”

Since then Filson has built its reputation on creating quality clothing for hunters, fishermen, engineers, explorers, mariners and miners, carrying itself into the 21st century with modern updates. Filson’s spring offerings include a mix of old and new in fabrics like soy wax cotton, bonded wool and vachetta-coated fabric. Filson’s spring accessories include a functional duffle bag, a travel bag and some things they didn’t have in the 1800s — a padded laptop briefcase, along with an iPad sleeve and iPad case.

We can’t wait until next season. For fall, the brand’s classic Islamorada fishing shirt has been reconceived to improve its warm weather functionality, and for this season the brand looked back into its deep archives to bring a limited edition of hand numbered heritage shirts and vests.

Filson may have graduated to a more stylish approach for the modern man of the 21st century, but the heritage brand still has its values from the 1800s in mind.

The best loafers for men: These shoes offer a modern twist on a classic design

Pick up these flawless slip ons to elevate your shoe wardrobe

We know what you're thinking; loafers are grandpa's shoes. Well, not anymore, the best men's loafers have come back with a vengeance, and they are some of the most amazing shoes you can own. These low, laceless slip-ons look great with just about anything. But what are loafers to be worn with exactly? They are to be partnered with selvedge denim jeans, white T-shirts, oxford shirts, and more; they're about as classic as it gets.

We mean that literally—loafers have a rich history that dates back almost a century, with roots in 20th-century Ivy League style. Although today these shoes are synonymous with bourgeois leisure (and Wall Street bankers), they were initially worn by fishermen in Norway. The easy-to-wear silhouette made its way through Europe and eventually to America in the 1930s.
