What brands do you stay away from? Let me know in the comments!
Nike. they sale $20 shoe for $200, plus the shes are very narrow for me.
Cheap junk. Or pretty much anything with annoying branding/logos. There are some exceptions, like shoe logos, but definitely none on shirts/sweaters/pants, etc.
gh & bass
@@borealmat1889 why?
Any brand that overprices cheap material boots or shoes
"You're a rugged guy, or at least you like rugged stuff, so why do you need to have a SNACK TABLE?!"
I love this quote more than most things
Lol! Just gimme the snacks, I don't need a damned table!
so true.
Real men eat off the ground
If you want something rugged, a lifetime folding table would be better
Agree on Filson. Companies change over time, sadly enough. Remember when Abercrombie & Fitch sold firearms and leather goods?
back when men shopped there
Wow, I remember that. They were one of the best outfitters around.
Holy crap I had no idea they sold back in the day. Almost seems like a complete 180
True
Now Abercrombie & Fitch are on some OldNavy - Gap level status
My family is from Seattle so we have a long history with Filson. We always had their leashes and collars for our dogs. Boy have those gone downhill. After the last one came and compared the quality to one of the previous versions, we found a local guy that does great leatherwork...won't buy Filson again.
As far as Filson goes, the rule of thumb is that anything with Original Twill and Mackinaw Wool is worth buying imo
I agree completely
Bought a pair of Thorogood boots probably three years back with a union discount. After watching your videos and others I checked the heel for rigidity. I could not collapse the heel no mater how hard I squeezed.
I have two Sonoma Sri Lanka 100% oxford cotton I got for 20 bucks at Kohl's like 6 years ago, still holds up well.
I definitely have a love/hate relationship with Saddleback. It should be said, regarding the price increase, they did tell their customers a month or so ahead of time. Still think the percentage was ridiculous and I’ve lost interest in the brand too.
I enjoyed this presentation, learned something new regarding Filson. As far as future items to review: socks. You have offered great review of boots, but socks are a very important aspect of foot comfort. What are your favorite socks? Food for thought. All the best, RKL.
That’s a really good question, and one which deserves its own video. I love the brand Darn Tough Vermont for socks or Smartwool.
@@CarlMurawski Duluth Trading also makes some great socks too.
Very true, I have some of their alpaca socks for the winter which have been excellent.
Darn Tough or Farm to Feet. Go to REI and you can get 10% off when you buy 3 pair.
@@Anschutz270 I have a pair of 'Farm to Feet' socks and they are great.
Love my Filson products. I have the tan small duffle with a few patches sewed on, and it is one of those iconic products Carl talks about where you feel different just holding it. The Cinder medium duffle is insanely useful, and the briefcase is alright
Carl put' nem on blast!
Lol!!
“...Take you out to dinner” 😂😂. Also I’m imagining you in the rugged wilderness wearing Thursday boots, Filson snack table next to you, and a hilarious facial expression of disgust.
Hahahahaha oh you just described my nightmare. That sounds like a photo reward when I hit 100,000 subscribers!
Carl Murawski looking forward to it!!
I like to call it "North Faced" a lot of companies you have to be careful with North Face used to make some of the best outdoor apparel but took a hard turn towards fashion and marketing instead of performance and a lot of companies are doing this. Filson, Patagonia, Duluth Pack company, and even still North Face make some absolutely fantastic products and some are even the best in the industry but they seem to have 2 very different lines. They make one for the people that DO and the price tends to reflect that and another line that's more appealing to the budget (or sometimes not even that) and they are aimed at the people who want the look of those that DO but without the price or without the rigorous use that comes from those that DO. Patagonia still makes my favorite technical outdoor wear, and things like Tin Cloth and Mackinaw Wool and the whole line of CFF clothing from Filson are still in my opinion worth it but some companies like Duluth Pack have changed market so much I find myself looking at Frost River instead.
TL;DR companies make different products for different people at different price ranges and beware of anything selling a brand over a product.
Eddie Bauer, same story.
North Face Summit series is still good stuff. The rest is a bit meh. They have some great tech but the products are more fashion oriented. I prefer Scandinavian outdoor gear than American but I still have a soft spot for Patagonia. They're silly expensive where I live due to taxes but they've been making quality products for years.
As for Filson, I also agree that they’re not what they used to be and that you’re paying an inflated price for the name. I have a tin cloth cruiser, a couple of MiUSA hats and 2 of their made in Portugal shirts. Didn’t pay full price for any of them. Anecdotally they appear to have pretty bad customer service too. They make some nice stuff but it’s always best to do your research first if you’re a new customer
You got a new sub. I wanna know alternatives to expensive brands like TAD
Agree on the Filson for sure. Their wool is awesome but some of what they sell...ugh...I'm wearing the cheaper LL Bean flannel right now and love it.
Their best wool comes from Pendleton Woolen Mills, but I have noticed a decline in the quality of wool Filson is using these days, which makes wonder if Filson is going to China now.
@@johndally7994 it's possible, their website says some colors are US made wool and some aren't. But I know Pendleton doesn't do everything in the US anymore either. At the very least Pendletons wool shirts are labeled as made in Mexico from US fabric
Filson recently had a “sale”. Almost every item indicated “SORRY, THIS PRODUCT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE.”, the item that was available was in size XS. I am on their mailing list and went to their website immediately, they will probably claim they sold out in 32 seconds. I recently purchased Filson All Season rain coat, 425$, I had to send it back because snaps were faulty, about a three week turn around after dealing with an arrogant customer service representative. I am thinking about taking Filson up on their 90 day return policy. Filson is selling copper products at gold pricing. Filson is far far from what it was originally.
@Michael Harris Thousands of gods only one Christopher Hitchens. When do I get the threats of being placed in a burning eternity in hell by a all loving, all forgiving, all understanding “merciful” one of those gods? Not even Hitler could come up with such an evil torture could have saved him a lot of time and money, “Off to hell you Jews” or anyone else who doesn’t worship me, your master🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥oh yes, I no longer be referred to as Führer, from here on out I will take the name God from god!!! Now back to Filson, like that new light weight anorak.
For me you need to do your research on any product before you buy it.I personally enjoy that process, so it’s not really a hardship for me
Things I no longer buy either because of poor quality versus price. Red Wing Boots, Sears anything, Levi jeans, Hanes anything, Coach luggage, Florshiem shoes, Hagger suits, Burberry anything and all Winchester guns. Allen Edmonds is on the bubble.
It's funny you mention Allen Edmonds, I'm heading down there with Jon from The Kavalier to find out whats up with Allen Edmonds these days. I'm really curious as to whats changed and where they're headed.
@@CarlMurawski When you find out please post a video.
Again a really good video. I also am not a Filson fan, bought a jacket and bibs (waxed cotton) and it barely got thru two seasons of work. Often i look at what others are wearing, you can see junk a mile away.
Absolutely!
Why buy a snack table when your truck already comes with one? It's called a tail gate, or the mini one called a glove box door, well in older vehicles anyway.
Right! Remember the old glove box doors with cup holders on them? My old Mustang has those, and I always thought it was a great idea.
Can't wait for the Filson video! As for Filson clothing, I'm with the group that will only buy if it's made in the US. I know where it's made sometimes doesn't matter as long as the workers are getting paid fair, but if you are buying for the brand, it would make sense that it's made in the USA right? And all those accessories Filson is making, are they trying to compete with Supreme or something? Lol.
The problem with "Made in USA" is that you don't know to what degree is the product made locally. Was the entire product cut and sewn together in Seattle? Or were the cotton parts put together in Vietnam, and then shipped to the US to have the leather parts attached, which then also counts as being "made in USA"? Maybe all that's "made in USA" is the label that says it's made in USA. With companies like Filson that are being bought out by large corporations and have their supply chain reshuffled, the country of origin can get really blurry.
@@DeepFriedDoom Yeah, well at least they put down "made in USA of import materials". But that's why I think when things are made outside of the US, they should lower the price of their products. And don't get me started about their products sold here in Europe. I know you're paying the fees differences, but g damn, $400 Mackinaw cruiser in the US, 495 Euros ($560) sold in Europe.
I did a video on the laws regulating thing with "Made in the USA" stamp. It's pretty interesting that they needed to make regulations since brands were using it as a marketing tactic.
The same thing that is happening to Filson happened to Remington when they got bought by a large corporation, which squeezed every last bit of profit out of them by cutting corners wherever they could. They ended up bankrupt with their name and reputation dragged thoroughly through the mud. I hope Filson doesn't end up that way but it sure seems likely.
We have a Filson outlet about 1 hour away, and I found some good deals there. I only get their US made stuff like wool cruisers, hats, belts and wallets. Although I do have a backpack and crossbody bag given to me made in vietnam.
Carl, if you're going to do history of brands, could you consider looking at Orvis? I believe they're even older than Filson.
Why not both and then throw in L.L. Bean as well?
Great idea!
Haha okay, give me some time and I'll do them!
@@ShortalayPlays Yes!
And Woolrich, if you get the chance
I live in the Pacific Northwest and used to buy Filson for work wear. And I set chokers for a helicopter logging company and rafted logs down rivers to the mills in my area. I'm talking ultimate macho type of jobs. The type of job that Chuck Norris would have a tough time doing. I left the woods and got an easier job- a construction boilermaker field mechanic. Which was still a damn tough gig. I'm retired now and wouldn't recommend Filson for anything but the fashion.
Carl, i have to tell you it was absolutely hilarious when you used the snack table analogy...and i mean this in the most positive way...i agree, it sounds like Filsmore (hope I have the name correct), merely attempting to leverage their brand name to sell a product, any product....love your videos! Great job.
That’s what I think too, it’s pretty common practice unfortunately.
I try to stay away from fast fashion brands like Forever 21, H&M, Zara.... I won't even buy their stuff second hand lol
Good call on that!
Agreed. It's overpriced junk
get the filson video out!
I'm working on it! Soon!
Stay away from paying top dollar for the brand and not the product. I remember checking out Abercrombie and Fitch once and they had BOGO 1/2 off on polo shirts and then I checked the price and I was like "Oh awesome, so if I buy 1 polo for $80, I can get the second one for $40??" Just ridiculous. No visible branding either. The logo was the same color as the shirt. I can go to Target or JCP and get an equally nice polo for ten bucks. I'm also trying to stay away from synthetic uppers on shoes and boots, because you can't care for them at all, just wear em till they wear out. If money is tight, you can find great deals on full grain leather shoes second hand on eBay, sometimes never even worn.
my one problem with what you said is that by your own admission you were trying to get some value out of the logo and was disappointed it wasn't very visible - but the logo, an extension of the name brand, is exactly why these items are overpriced compared to their quality. Personally, lately I've been going out of my way to buy items with minimal (or hidden) branding whenever possible.
I actually have a Lacoste button-up shirt (was a gift) which I simply dislike because the logo is not just too bold (particularly on a plain white shirt), it's, imho, straight up ugly. So even though _I_ paid nothing for the name, I've actually never worn it.
I actually really love filsons wool and tin, with filsons keep with the traditional
Try, try, try to shop [small] America. I realize it's not always available or clear on that front.
Big business can throw crazy prices and wages out there that us small businesses can't even keep up with.
Pay more at the small store...just do it!
COMPLETELY off the topic of this video and I probably should have picked a more recent video to say this but... I am absolutely enjoying your videos. You are doing an awesome job and I find your content very helpful. I hope you will continue making videos .
First time checking out saddleback, not impressed
I always take my snack table with me on a hike - so that I can partake of afternoon tea and cucumber sandwiches :-) My butler carries it......
Is American eagle a good brand?
Great video!... as I’m wearing my Filson ball cap lol. Wife and oldest daughter went to Seattle to check it out. I looked up a bunch of companies that were based out of Seattle for them to check out and bam Filson was an instant must. She did like the store but the ball cap was all she wanted to buy after seeing the prices. I do like it. It’s made in USA with imported materials. I’ll pass on the rest. Like you said too many other options.
I agree, and there are still great products at Filson but you have to sift through the snack tables and $200 utensils.
Great vid! love that you mention caveats such as w/ synthetics and having to consider application... most guys are very black and white (ie no synthetics, ever) which, oftentimes, doesn't make sense. re: saddleback pricing, I must've missed that hike. I do remember when Allen Edmonds suddenly bumped up their pricing significantly, from ~$325, $350... to $425 etc. Felt a bit abrupt.
Could you do a video on Wall's outdoor clothing brand. Are they really competitive with Carhartt because they both look very similar I can't even tell them apart only if I see them up close. I wont lie I would still buy a couple of Filson T-shirt or maybe one jacket as long it is made well. Levis is a brand to be careful with. My parents told me you better check the stitching on the jeans before you buy them because Levis jeans are not what they used to be like a long time ago.
Snack table looks like something a high schooler would make in shop class 😂
What are your thoughts on Duluth trading co.? Their products are marketed as work/outdoor ware but how is their quality.
I'm fond of Duluth Trading. Their Firehose pants are comfortable and very durable. About six years ago, I accidentally cut a small hole in a pair using an angle grinder. The hole still hasn't spread.
Wouldn't be surprised if they came out with a "Gillett" type commercial. And never wear a large belt buckle, they frown on that.
I've used their firehose work pants extensively and their flannel shirts are very good. The big thing is their boxy fit, I always have a lot of extra material.
It's tragic to see these great American brands bought out and completely betrayed. Woolrich woolen mills is the latest example. I have loved their products for years and they were recently acquired by an investment company in Luxembourg which proceeded to close the American factories and completely rid itself of quality products replacing them with $600 flannel shirts made in sweatshops that are half synthetics now. A crying shame.
I don't avoid any clothing brands, but MTech knives are absolute junk, I avoid eating at McDonald's, I just don't like any of their food, and I have stopped getting more jeans because I got tired of wearing them out every 3 months and found a more durable style of pants.
Thank you for this. I have a number of filson flannel shirts but will only buy at the end of the season sale. At 50 percent off i am good with paying for them. I found vermont flannel from a comment on your channel and love them. Quality American made product
Have you had a pair of Mark Albert boots? Im thinking about a pair of outriders in the matte black but they're still sort of new and don't accept returns so im sceptical. But they do offer a wide size so that's definitely a selling point for me.
I never have, but there are so many brands now and it seems like more are popping up every day.
I made the switch to bamboo jocks and socks a couple of years ago and I wouldn't go back to anything else .
Filson really has changed. I have a few of there older quality wool items. But I went to get one of there new wool shirt jackets. I didn’t even bother. I really like Double RRL to, but there quality I feel is getting worse and worse. But the prices are going higher and higher. Great vid great topic.
I’m glad you shared your thoughts because I’ve heard the same thing about RRL sadly, plus they have some shady business ethics.
Woolrich should be on the list ...cheap stuff now!
I will have to agree about Filson!! very good point
I like saddleback's quality for belts and wallets but not so much their choices of colors.
They work within the leather they use. I agree though, if you don't like black or a shade of brown you're out of luck.
To some people the name on the label is just as important as the quality of the gear. They are called douchebags.
Lol!
@Carl Murawski Thanks for the content..I watch quite a few of your videos.
I'd be interested to hear what your take is on VF's recent dissolution of the Dickies Workwear line, and some of the price and style changes to their workwear products after they've been merged into the Dickies Life brand.
I know this is an old video but I think you still sing this same tune when it comes to Filson's Alaskan Guide shirt, and IMO this is one tough extremely well constructed shirt that I have had and treated roughly 2 years now and its still in like new condition , impressed me so much I picked up 2 more of them and man no regrets .. worth every penny I think they are $135 now and worth it.. again IMO but man its a well constructed durable , warm tough shirt.
Hey, Carl any recommendations for wide brim summer hats for on the job site? I’m a roofing foreman and spend a lot of Time in the sun. Thanks
Do you need to wear a hard hat? I got a great sun visor from MSA for mine. If you’re looking for a traditional hat I really like the crushable hats from Stetson, but nothing beats a good Panama hat in the heat. You can get them in different brim widths too, but the really good ones aren’t cheap.
Excited to see that history of Filson video! As always a great video and I am looking forward to the next one!
Thank you! I’m planning to shoot that video this weekend, so it will be out in the next few weeks.
Allen Edmonds as of the last year. Have had all my orders canceled due to no inventory this month. Waiting to see if what I ordered will ship or not. Disappointed. They could offer me a 90% off if they cancel this order and they would not lose a dime as I would place an order use that discount code and they would cancel that too. Just a shame that they are 100 miles from me and unable to produce that they offer on their website. I suspect in less than 5 years Allen Edmonds will be nothing more than a licensed label.
Made in Sri Lanka is made in Sri Lanka as far as I'm concerned.
Because of that I've went with these $10 flannel shirts Walmart had, they're a great shirt for the money.
Call me cheap, but if it's not made here I'm not spending decent money on it.
I bought 6 of the flannel shirts from Walmart and have nothing bad to say about them.
There's no loose threads coming off and the buttons are still there.
No sure if I agree about SaddleBack Leather. What do you think is the same quality as SaddleBack Leather but cheaper?
Satchel and Page, Marlondo, Cravar, Custom Hide, Ruitertassen, Col Littleton, Basader, Moosebrand are all similarly priced with higher quality. The big problem with Saddleback isn't the products, they're not bad bags, but their pricing. For Mexican chrome tanned leather, stainless hardware, and polyester thread the prices should be much lower. If you got a SBL bag when the prices were reasonable then it was a good value, but for the $500 and above price point I would want a higher quality leather at the very least.
Great statements, 100 % agree with you 👍
I'm really happy to see the comment I left in this video! I really enjoyed this one but I may be biased
Hahaha well thanks for the question! It made for a fun video
I had a pair of Mexican made Carhartt pants split just next to the heavy duty leg seam. Like Filson, I buy vintage made in USA Woolrich and avoid all their China stuff. In short, if it is an American company that got known as quality American gear, I won't buy it when made elsewhere. It is like buying a Swiss army knife (Victorinox/Wenger) made in India, one just does not do that. I do own Chinese Taichi shoes and there is no better place to buy these from than the ones made in China.
Love my filson duffle bag, but I agree on their shirt quality vs value, way over priced
I would like to know about PENGUIN brand. I know it was golf clothing, but their style and line is awesome always has been.
I have come the point where I judge each item based on its own merit, and the name brand attached has little bearing. Yes, there is peace of mind that comes with venerable brands though, when you are not surprised at the quality but come to expect it.
Thanks for all the good videos
Great video Carl, always giving back to the fans via video! Love it
Thanks man!
How do you feel about “Duluth Pack” bags and backpacks?
I’d love to try them, a lot of people speak highly of their stuff.
Whats your opinion on cat boots
I just checked the cravar website, I know the quality is good but I don't like the designs.
They’re not for everyone, but i think they’re great.
Want a snack table? Cinder blocks work for that too.
While I still own some items from these brands, I will almost always avoid them when looking to purchase something new:
Mall brands anywhere between Aeropostale and Express.
Levi's (any non-jean products)
Cheap work-wear such as Wrangler, Dickies, etc.
"Upscale" fashion brands like Calvin Klein, Gucci, Cole Haan, etc.
Most cheap house brands from anchor stores, with a few exceptions
Cheap footwear like (most) Clark's, Sketcher's, Crocs, etc.
Cheap sportswear brands like FILA, K-Swiss, etc.
I also try to avoid quality brands that are overworn such as Ray Ban, Oakley, North Face, etc.
And last, but NOT least... Indochino!
Why don't you like Indochino?
I bought a suit from them and it was awful. The fabric was nice but the fit horrendous.
What brand do you suggest that carrys similar clothing products like filson?
Tom Beckbe is probably the closest to their waxed products.
@@CarlMurawski Awesome! Thanks Carl. Keep up the great vids!
I have a love-hate relationship with Filson buying a wall but they're docking products I don't like the caps and their pants you have to take a Min to get a tailored in that coat they had it didn't even keep me warm not even a Texas Rain I could go by there. Wool
While I've already commented on this on one of your videos before, unless im mistaken, Saddleback has dropped their prices again and their customer support is amazing. They took care of me after I was unhappy with one of their bags.
Sad to know that about Filson. Something similar happened to Pyrex. They got bought out and now make subpar crap.
Man, I've heard about that Pyrex thing. Such a shame. I really need to do a refresh on the Saddleback video too.
Carl Murawski I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Not gonna lie, the stitching was bad on my bags but the fact that they took it back, without a hassle, made a good Impression.
If you want a snack table that is rugged, get a lifetime folding table. I love Lifetime products.
Where can we find good cheap leather duffle bags?
Well what price would you consider cheap?
Mahi bags look good for the price.
Carl....big fan brother. Your curiosity towards clothing and accessories is just great. Would you be able to do a history of Allen Solly and why they have the best chinos in the world?
Thanks for the kind words! I'd love to cover Allen Solly, they've been around for a looooong time!
@@CarlMurawski One more thing I wanted you to know Carl ever since I started following you. Whenever you post a video or a picture....your attire is authentically American. You truly showcase the classic American fashion. Keep up the good work and looking forward for Allen Solly video as I couldn't find much about it. I guess your curiosity is more than mine😉
Filson - very overpriced
Truman - horrible customer service and inconsistent QC
Viberg - way overpriced
Taylor Stitch - outsourced and overpriced
Saddleback - overpriced
Awesome inputs 👍
Much appreciated! 😁
@@CarlMurawski u should make a video on budgeting someday
Thats a good idea and one that is extremely important.
Make that video about Filson
I did somewhat, just search for "The History of Filson" on my channel.
4:23 GAS GOING UP NOW((
Avoid Ralph Lauren. Bad material quality since the last 10 years but terrible price politics. The stuff from RL looks like HM pieces for me but the difference is they all costs a fortune.
The quality went down so hard. Same goes for Tommy Hilfiger. Seems like they wanted to compete with A&F, Hollister, Zara,H&M etc.
Ralph Lauren is basicaly just paying for the fucking name. Also same with Tommy Hilfiger. Alltough the Summer Shirts I bought 2-3 years ago from Ralph Lauren & Tommy are still in top shape. Keep in mind that people don't know how to maintenance their clothes.
*Goodwill Has Entered The Chat*
It's heartbreaking to see Filson on here, but I understand. Their insistence on pushing offshore, laying off local/union workers, and then having the nerve to charge the same (and in some cases more) as they did as a USA brand is depressing.
Its 5 am and I just realized I've been watching you for atleast a year and I haven't subscribed
I hate when a company gose downhill
I have a love hate relationship with Carhartt and wrangler..I feel like wrangler sucks now lol and carhartt is just annoying sometimes cus the commercials are awesome and they pull at my heart strings and I fill up with pride but then u try to buy one from the store
And it says Mexico on it,how can it be an American product if it’s from Mexico?
I mean I just feel lied to sometimes 🥺
You’re acting as if high quality products aren’t made in Mexico. We live in a globalist country and have a globalist economic system. Things aren’t automatically trash for being made outside the U.S.
And sadly, items made in the U.S. aren’t always living up to the name or quality one has come to expect. Think about Red Wing and Allen Edmonds. Red Wing is in a better spot, but they often have factory seconds on discount. Some with AE, but with quality drops across the board.
What kind of underwear ?
That is the 2UNDR brand, I like them a lot. Once you go with pouch underwear its hard to go back!
What to stay away from?
-Every fashion brand.
-Polyester
-Paul Evans. Fuck that sleezy dogshite company.
So we know a lot has to go into a bug out bag-like first aid kits water food etc. But what clothing would you put in that bag? I'd like a pair,or two, of just broken in Nicks Boots for my feet in case I need to wander around for years in a post apocalyptic world. (I'd have to find a steampunk cobbler to change the soles occasionally}. But what shirts what socks underwear and other stuff?
Peanuts and gluten 😂
You know how few people see that? lol
Atomic neko
Filson definitely isn't what they used to be.
Saddleback is made in Mexico anyway so I'm not missing anything. I'd rather buy USA
Exactly, I don’t mind made in Mexico but there should be a price to match.
Carl Murawski Yea Mexican craftsmen are good and all, but I'm not paying a premium for it when there are plenty of amazing craftsmen right here in my own country
Exactly!
Lane Bryant
I will never buy H&M, Zara, Topman, any sub brand from Michael Kors and Marc Jacobs...
Taylor Stitch gets my money
Timberland Boots
For me what happened to Woolrich was heartbreaking, they did a promo w/ Lauren Hill and I knew it was all over then. I saw the writing on the wall and quickly bought as much stuff as I could before it all went to shit, and sure enough overnight they went from rancher/farmer/outdoorsman wear to a hip-hop inspired boyband look.
Honestly what a bunch of assholes. I imagine the grandson got the company and sold it for a yacht and coke money.
Sometimes when I want to get mad I just go to their site ad look at the fashion models and think "Not my Grandpas brand". Fuck, I'm still pissed.
Really goes to show that you can't take other peoples things for granted. Yes, my family did business with them for generations but we had nothing to do with the company other than be their customers.
You wound me 😭😭😭😭😭 I love filson
Filson has some great stuff, but you just need to know which items they are. No hate for the brand!
Also Avoid dr. Martens at any cost..they're shit now
Such a shame they moved production from England. They used to be my go-to boot back in the day.
