“Richard is the ideal creative partner not only because he shares Filson’s values in craftsmanship, high-quality fabrications and classic, practical approach to design, but because of his passion for our brand’s heritage,” Mark Korros, president and CEO of Filson, told WWD.

Filson has a 115-year history of outfitting hunters, fishermen, explorers and outdoorsmen and is carried by outdoors retailers as well as more mainstream stores. The company was acquired in 2005 by Los Angeles-based private equity firm Brentwood Associates, which specializes in niche consumer brands.
