FILSON - Japan Exclusive Collection
Concept “Seattle Trad” for the Urban Standard
Seattle, Washington State, USA. It is a rare city where dense coniferous forests coexist with leading advanced technology companies. "Seattle Trad" style, where respect for nature and rational thinking for the future intersect, has been reinterpreted for the Japanese environment.
The keywords for this collection are "subtraction" and "functional beauty." While retaining the excessive robustness of the original FILSON as gear, details that are over-spec for urban life have been cleanly removed. 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.
