This Unlikely Filson Collab Is a Fitness Masterpiece

After spending 128 years conquering the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest, Filson is exploring new territory.

Filson

The Seattle-based outfitter has teamed up with training gear brand Ten Thousand for a third capsule collection of lightweight athletic apparel. Duck canvas and boiled wool have been swapped out for a nylon-poly-spandex blend that offers durability and functionality in a whole new way.

The full kit

This three-piece collection consists of a hoodie, shorts, and a t-shirt. All three come in a solid mustard-brown color that invokes Filson’s famous tincloth canvas. The distinct khaki has been brightened up for a sporty feel, but the connection is still there.

The set’s base layer is a moisture-wicking tee and a riff on Ten Thousand’s Interval short. The Tactical Tee has flatlock seams and a shoulder yolk that enhances durability by negating weak points. A combination of both brands’ logos sits just below the neckline on the back.

Everything that Ten Thousand does well is on display in the Tactical Shorts. Two side zip pockets, a waistband key pocket, and a patch pocket on the compression liner provide ample cargo space without impacting mobility. It is optimized for both training and everyday wear.

Last but not least is the Tactical Hoodie. It is lightweight training outerwear that doubles as a comfortable hoodie. Along with two side vent hand pockets and a zip chest pocket, a sleeve pouch is perfect for stashing your phone on the move. The hood has a drawcord and high zip neck to lock out the elements.

Thrown to the Seawolves

The Seattle Seawolves rugby team performed field testing for this collection. They put all three items through the paces on the rugby pitch and in the gym. Filson may be new to the performance apparel game, but anything with the brand’s name on it still has to stand up to mud, wind and rain.

All three pieces are outside the box for the heritage outfitter but manage to uphold the company’s tough-as-nails reputation.
