Here’s why Filson has made the only clothes you need for the outdoors this winter

The outdoors offers countless lessons in patience and persistence. Conditions are often unforgiving, ever-changing, and unpredictable – a great metaphor for life at the current moment in time. The more time you spend outdoors, the more you realize just how important durable, high-quality gear is. Whether you’re camping, biking, or hiking during this holiday season, you need the best outdoor clothing to keep you moving without weighing you down. With so much out of your control, and often so few tools at your disposal, you need to be able to do more with less.

This winter, suit up in your best gear and fearlessly face the elements with Filson. Filson has been crafting long-lasting American heritage outwear for over 120 years. It’s a company that makes its products to last, and they withstand the test of time and changing elements. Just as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, you can depend on Filson for high-quality outwear. So many things may be uncertain, but if you enjoy the challenge of weathering the great outdoors, Filson makes products you can count on no matter what the world may throw at you.

If you’ve ever struggled with what jacket to bring on a camping trip, that ends here. The Filson Mackinaw Wool Cruiser is the only jacket you’ll ever need. It’s a versatile, weather-resistant wardrobe staple that protects against changing weather conditions and will serve you for generations. Made with 100% virgin wool from Oregon’s Pendleton Woolen Mills, the uncommonly tight weave resists the wind while remaining breathable. It insulates wet or dry and can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in water without feeling damp or clammy. Originally patented in 1914, the Mackinaw Wool Cruiser is still hailed over 100 years later by outdoorsman for its versatility in all conditions and seasons.

Vintage Flannel Work Shirt

The quality of this flannel is apparent at first glance. The rugged shirt is made of breathable midweight cotton with a soft brushed interior, so it feels worn-in from the first use and only gets better with age. The pleated back allows for a full range of motion in the shoulders, which means you never have to worry about going full Hulk-man and ripping the seams at the back. Like all Filson gear, it’s incredibly versatile and looks great with a nice pair of denim and boots or out on the trail. It’s wind-resistant and roomy so you layer without feeling claustrophobic. Cold weather is no match for this comfortable, sturdy winter essential.

Orlebar Brown wants you to hit the resorts this winter
From Apres ski to the hot tub, everything you need for the mountain resort
Orlebar Brown Treat Collection Hoodie

Orelar Brown put themselves on the map when they recreated one of the most iconic looks ever worn by James Bond, or any action star for that matter. When they dropped their version of the blue onesie from Dr. No, they became one of THE go-to destinations for men who wanted to embody the secret agent. They even have their own 007 collection. That wasn't the end of it, though; they also became a go-to place for resort wear and the place to grab your swim trunks and poolside fits. That is a good problem to have, but they are breaking out of that problem now with a collection of pieces perfectly tailored for that 007 getaway to the ski resort. Orlebar Brown Mountain Resort Capsule is a selection of pieces all over the site that are perfect for your mountain getaway.
Everything from Apres ski to the hot tub

The Resort Collection is everything you need, from shopping in town to hitting the lodge after a great run. If you want to shop at the local spots, warm up and stand out with the relaxed fit Crochet Cotton Jumper from the FW24 Collection. Once you have finished your run on the slopes, warm up with the Wallace Quilted Knitted Sleeve jacket (which looks remarkably similar to the jacket worn by Daniel Craig at the mountain retreat in Spectre; they can't get away from the connection now). And when it is time for dinner, no self-respecting Bond would be seen without a good tailored jacket, so OB offers the Tailored Fit Pique Merino Blazer. There is something for every occasion except skiing, so hit the Rockies or the Alps before the season ends.

Huckberry collects everything you need for post-holiday recovery
Dress up to do absolutely nothing with Huckberry's Cozy Shop
Huckberry Cozy Shop

Look, we all love the holiday season. The moments we cherish involve our families around a tree (if you celebrate that sort of thing) and drinking egg nog after the children have gone to bed. Of course, we have always been huge fans of parties, get-togethers, and soirees, especially if that means we get to dress up, mix up our favorite cocktails, and yuck it up with those closest to us. However, there is something else we love just as much: kicking everyone out of the house when it is all over and relaxing in the dark with a fire and a Netflix series. Huckberry understands that, and they have set up a collection that has already been put together for you to do this better than you ever have. The Huckberry Cozy Shop is all you need to recover after a long holiday season.
Put together the perfect outfit to do absolutely nothing

Any good relaxing outfit starts with the right pair of pants. Something that moves with you and maybe feels like you aren't even wearing pants. The Flint and Tinder Quilted Sweatpant is the perfect way to feel like you are wrapped in a blanket. The Vouri Ponto Performance long-sleeve tee is the base layer that sets you up for our favorite part of any cozy set. The Relwen Old Shalt Shawl Sweater is perhaps in the top handful of garments Huckberry offers in general, and it keeps you warm when you start the new movies you have been putting off while you have been obligated to watch all the Christmas movies the last few weeks. Finally, there are two items you need when you have to get off the couch on occasion: the Wool Outdoor Slipper Boot from Greys is the Chelsea boot for the hermit, and the Hooded Waffle Robe from Onsen is a great way to cover up if you have to go out and get the mail over the next week of inactivity. The parties may be over, but that just means it is time to cozy up with Huckberry and catch up on the binging.

Two American legends come together to get you outdoors
Todd Snyder x Woolrich combine to create a legendary capsule
Todd Snyder x Woolrich Scenic Sweater

When you are a clothing brand that's been around long enough to provide socks, coats, and blankets to the Union Army in the Civil War, you can pretty much call yourself the country's oldest outdoor outfitter. And that is exactly what Woolrich calls themselves. Coming up on 200 years of excellence, the brand still holds true to its three core values: American heritage, Purposeful design, and iconic brand elements. Todd Snyder is another American icon who has established a name that very well could be around at his bi-centennial celebration, thanks to impeccable style and incredible craftsmanship. These two have now come together for an epic collaboration to get you outdoors. The Todd Snyder x Woolrich is now available for the dedicated outdoor enthusiast.
1830s heritage with modern Snyder style

The 35+ items in the collection have many things to love. The number one thing that will likely catch your attention if you are a fan of Woolrich is the Buffalo Check Long Parka. One of Woolrich's most famous creations is the Buffalo Check flannel, which was inspired by the buffalo owned by the Woolrich family. Snyder puts a modern spin on the garment by making it more usable for the outdoors in extreme cold. The Reflective Shirt Jacket may look like a standard felted wool jacket, but on closer inspection, you will find the kind of Todd Snyder detail he has been known for, a reflective glass woven into the fibers to create a silver-white glow. These are just two examples of the features and style you can expect from the two icons of Americana.
