Filson released a five-piece luggage collaboration with award-winning songwriter and musician Chris Stapleton dubbed The Traveller Collection this week.

Moreover, Stapleton commemorated his father’s legacy by transforming his dad’s hunting vest into bags and sentimental gifts through Filson. Notably, the Filson 48-hour Duffle Bag, featuring a piece from his father’s vest, is a constant companion during his travels.
