Filson’s milestone page contains more than a few fascinating nuggets that will probably surprise many fans who follow the brand closely today.

For example, the company operated for over 79 years before launching one of the brand’s signature product lines, the Rugged Twill bag collection, in 1991.

In the over thirty years since then, in between outfitting hit shows like Yellowstone and musicians like Chris Stapleton, the company has built an impressive line of bags spanning several different collections, including everything from duffles, dry bags, and hunting packs to backpacks, totes, and briefcases.

And almost all of them are currently being discounted by 25% or more in some of the brand’s most popular colors and models. Frankly, I’ve never seen so many different (and compelling) options on sale from Filson at the same time.

Below, you’ll find our favorite picks organized by collection, as well as details about what sets each collection apart. If you’re in the market for something else, plenty of other options are available directly from Filson’s site.

Filson Rugged Twill Bags

The Rugged Twill collection was a milestone for the company when it launched in 1991. It’s named after the strong and dense 100% cotton twill that’s known for being extremely tough and abrasion-resistant. Filson also finishes the material with a dry-wax treatment to add a layer of protection against wet conditions.

Filson Tin Cloth Bags

Filson called the early versions of its Tin Cloth material “Waterproof Khaki” in the 1920s. Since then, the brand’s heaviest waxed canvas has evolved to become even more weather-resistant. Like all good waxed canvas, Tin Cloth can also be re-waxed to maintain its performance and refurbish its appearance.

Filson Surveyor Bags

Filson’s Surveyor line is easily its most modern and designed to compete with many nylon bags flooding the travel space. The line is made from a combination of lighter-weight 500D woven in a similar pattern to Tin Cloth and 1000D Cordura densely woven in a similar fashion to Rugged Twill for durability. All of the material is also dry-waxed to add water resistance on par with traditional waxed cotton.
