Filson’s Spring Offerings

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.

Red Wing Heritage Spring Cleans Its Archives for a Never-Before-Seen Collection

red wing heritage want show laundry collaboration rwh oof 1

For most of their lives, Wan-ji and Sho-er, known in the West as Mr. and Mrs. Chang, have run their small dry-cleaners in Taiwan making a modest income. But one problem they had to deal with was what to do with the unclaimed articles of clothing that had stacked up over the years. So they began modeling them via an Instagram account; a couple of octogenarians looking dope in vintage clothing that hadn't aged a day. It caught fire, and it also caught the attention of American bootmaker Red Wing Heritage. On March 17, the company announced its official partnership with the Changs' Want Show Laundry in a one-of-a-kind collaboration.

2 Fashion Titans Launch Spring’s Must-Have Sunglasses

A.P.C. x Persol

Think of the coolest pair of jeans in your wardrobe — and now, think of the coolest pair of sunglasses on your wish list. What if those two menswear staples actually came together in one of the sharpest sunglasses collaborations yet? As uncanny as it might sound, that’s the thinking behind the A.P.C. x Persol collaboration, which might have just produced your new favorite sunglasses for spring (and beyond).

The new partnership plays off the timeless sense of cool both brands have long been known for across the globe. A.P.C. signature denim and minimal basics are worn by cool creatives, and Persol has a knack for making some of the most legendary sunglasses on the planet — shades worn by icons of the stage and screen, to boot (Steve McQueen’s shades of choice time and again? Persol).
