Founded in the 1800s to outfit Klondike Gold Rush prospectors, Filson now translates to handsome, hardwearing gear designed to rough it for generations and more.

That definition goes well beyond outwear.

Like the iconic Mackinaw and Cruiser jackets, Filson bags boast heavy-duty materials, overengineered construction and prices that reflect both.

The Rugged Twill Zipper Tote and Small Rugged Twill Duffle are made from the brand’s signature rugged twill fabric, a dense, water-resistant weave that lasts decades.
