We could easily have spent an hour sifting through the Filson's men's and women's clothes and accessories...being huge admirers of this classic American company.

Rugged Twill Utility Bag-11 pockets, four dividers, double layer bottom $245
Hailing from the Pacific northwest-Filson is known for its unique Cotton Oil Finish Tin Cloth that is impervious to the cool damp climes...and used throughout its outwear collections. Nice...no wonder Levi's nabbed the brand for a terrific collaboration of items (Spring 2012 preview).

New for Spring 2012 of the main collections---first off--- is a seriously want it all, every piece-NOW-assortment of rugged haulers---made with the Tin Cloth or sturdy 100% Cotton Duck Canvas- and trimmed with handsome bridle leather/nylon webbing.
