When we hear Filson, we picture waxed jackets. But Filson’s Warm-Weather Shop makes a pretty compelling case that the 129-year-old outfitter knows what to do in summer, too. We dug through it and found seven pieces we’d happily put to work for the rest of the season. And plenty of summers after that.
Field Supply Shorts
Based on Filson trail pants from the ’80s and made from military-grade cotton sateen, these are shorts for guys who think most shorts could stand to be a little tougher and a little softer.
Buy: $129
Seabrook Filson Towel
Seventeen ounces of cotton and nearly six feet long. Calling this a beach towel feels slightly disrespectful. It’s more like a blanket that happens to be extremely good at drying you off.
Buy: $129
All-weather 40l Duffle
Forty liters is right in the sweet spot. Enough room for a long weekend. Not enough to ever overpack.
Buy: $199
Oxbow Lake Trunks
Swim trunks built for guys who do more at the lake than lie around drinking beer. The lightweight recycled ripstop nylon dries quickly and is treated to improve wicking performance.
Buy: $89
Stencil Trucker Cap
There are trucker hats that make you look like you just bought a trucker hat. And there are trucker hats that look like they’ve been sitting on your dashboard for the last decade. We prefer the latter.
Buy: $45
All-weather Tote Bag
Towels. Swimsuits. Sunscreen. Something cold to drink. Something good to read. Summer requires hauling around a surprising amount of stuff. Commit to a tote that's highly water-resistant and will last for years to come.
Buy: $111.30
Paisley Bandana
Whether you use it for sun protection, wet it to cool your neck, or just sport it for style, the bandana is a summer essential. For every man. Period.
Buy: $34.30
