Filson started life in Seattle in 1897, and today is an icon of rugged American style, crafting apparel and bags that are guaranteed for life. The label is renowned for hard-wearing pieces, perfectly suited to the Pacific North-West, and as we can attest, they work equally well against the brisk Edinburgh wind. Might as well have the best.

Sizing: Large. Big enough to wear with a heavy knit or extra jacket, but still allowing plenty of freedom of movement. But you still may need to take a size down.
