Seattle-based outfitter Filson opened its doors on September 29, bringing outdoorsy apparel to Washington in the form of their “unfailing goods.” After Shinola, Filson’s sister brand under Bedrock Manufacturing, vacated the space to move into their gorgeous permanent storefront on 14th earlier this month, Filson was able to take over the 1543 14th Street address to open up shop.
“We are thrilled to be coming to DC,” said Filson president Gray Madden in an interview with Washingtonian. “People in DC appreciate the quality and history of our brand.”
The store is filled with a lumberjack’s dream closet–flannel shirts, sturdy canvas and leather bags, rugged lace-up boots–with a suspended canoe and landscape photographs adding to the moutain cabin decor.
The store is now open, so take a peek inside in the photos below before checking out the real thing.
Caroline Cunningham joined Washingtonian in 2014 after moving to the DC area from Cincinnati, where she interned and freelanced for Cincinnati Magazine and worked in content marketing. She currently resides in College Park.
