Ever wonder where to go to rub shoulders with hunters, fishers and ranchers clad in heavyweight tin cloth and Mackinaw wool? Starting in late fall, the newly revamped Filson on First Avenue is a safe bet.
Seattle’s iconic outfitter hopes the flagship will be a “destination retail experience” that takes the brand to a broader community.
The store will carry clothing and gear (formerly sold at the Fourth Avenue location), and offer a behind-the-scenes look at the production headquarters for Filson’s luggage manufacturing, as well as an event space for workshops and educational series. 1741 First Ave. S; 206.622.3147; filson.com.
