FILSON - Japan Exclusive Collection
Concept “Seattle Trad” for the Urban Standard
Seattle, Washington State, USA. It is a rare city where dense coniferous forests and world-leading advanced technology companies coexist. "Seattle Trad" style, where reverence for nature and rational thinking for the future intersect, has been reinterpreted for the Japanese environment.
The keywords for this time are "subtraction" and "functional beauty". While retaining the excessive robustness of the original FILSON as gear, details that are over-spec for urban living have been cleanly stripped away. What is needed is toughness, ease of movement, and minimal functionality. This is a Japan-only collection that reconstructs workwear born in the forest into "everyday wear" for life on asphalt.
