Filson = the Leica of outdoor clothing.  Here in Tucson (where "hot and dry"
was invented) I live in either examples from my comprehensive Hawaiian shirt
collection (spring, pre-summer, summer, and fall) and Filson bomb-proof,
double flapped pocket safari cloth shirts (winter).  Great stuff... and as
for hats.. Tilley?  pfffft! Can you say "Akubra"?
