n 2010, Levi’s teamed up with the outerwear experts at Filson to create a collection of heritage goods that captured the best of both brands, each of which goes back well over 100 years. We’re happy to announce that these legendary companies have teamed up again this fall to release an expanded collection of hardworking wares that are exquisitely tailored, built to last, and exclusively made in the U.S.A. Their 2011 collaboration pairs classic cuts with uncompromising, rugged fabrics like waxed tin cloth, hardy twill, bridle leather, and rigid denim—steadfast materials that are sure to weather the test of time and only look better with age.
LEVI’S x FILSON
We caught a first look at the brands’ new collaboration just last month, and we were thoroughly impressed with the fit and finish of the pieces we saw. The duo’s tin-cloth trucker jacket is back again for another season, which is a testament to the piece’s timeless cut and enduring durability. (It literally stands up on its own!)
