Filson is not cheap. But some of it is still made here in Seattle. I saw some tincloth pants at Costco this week. With the wax/oil treatment they are water proof. This was the kind of indestructible pants gold rush miners bought before heading to the Yukon.
I have a filson rain hat that is great. Andrea had one from the 70’s that needed the band replaced. I took it in to ask how much to repair it and they gave her a new one.
The costco rainsuit is a great deal though for those times when you do not want to arrive soaked for something important. Folds up and fits in a 8×8 packet
