This catalog makes me want to gnash my teeth.

I have no idea how I got on this mailing list, because we are not a match.  C.C. Filson Co. may have got their start outfitting miners, prospectors and lumbermen in Seattle, but they have strayed far from their roots.  $300 for a flannel shirt?  You know where the last few miners, prospectors and lumbermen buy their shirts? Walmart.  Because that’s what they can afford.  You know who buys $300 flannel shirts?  Software engineers who think they are the same ilk as miners, prospectors and lumbermen.  And they aren’t.  So don’t pretend they are.

And every modern outdoorsman needs a bag for his tablet and computer.  Grrrr.

(I liked quite a few of their tablet and computer bags, but again, not my price range.)

  1. This whole post cracked me up. I’m with you, sister. I thought for sure I was going to look them up & discover that they started like 10 years ago, but it turns out they’ve been around since 1897. Presumably they used to be for actual lumbermen and miners.
