Most of the stories and photos involving Filson are in some remote corner of the country, on a worksite, or on some hunting or fishing expedition. There are some of us (me included) that come from this background, but now reside inside the city. While it is an adjustment for someone with country roots, it’s…
St. Bernard Sports is an outfitter out of Dallas, TX. They’ve been around since 1978, when they focused on being a ski shop, but have since expanded to carry all the right brands: Southern Tide Shirts Patagonia Caps Lacoste Sport Shirts Vineyard Vines Shorts Cole Haan Loafers The good folks at St. Bernard Sports want…
It’s perfect time to make a few plans for the future and it’s time to
be happy. I have learn this submit and if I may I want to suggest
you some attention-grabbing things or advice. Maybe you can write subsequent articles relating
to this article. I wish to read more issues approximately it!ReplyCancel
Walking through a discount store the other day, something caught my eye…the Levi’s tag. Upon further inspection, They are a pair of LVC S501XX 1944 jeans in selvedge denim…in my size: The fit is good – a little slimmer than the 501s off the rack today. They are marked ‘irregular’, but the only issue I…
Over Under Clothing is a great up and coming clothier out of Jacksonville, FL that deserves some attention. They are doing it the right way – ‘preserving the sporting lifestyle’, making all of their products in the USA, and focusing on support of Labrador retriever rescues and worthwhile outdoor preservation societies. Owner Bryan Horn was nice enough…
Congratulations… I admire your commitment to our great country… as a former service member I’ll support an american made product over a forign manufactured product any day. I also envy your story, I say everyday theres got to be a better way and something I can do that revolves around the things I love. I’m inspired to find my “Over Under.”ReplyCancel
Thanks to Jay and Red Clay Soul for giving everyone an inside look at our company! We are so appreciative of all the kind words and excitement that we see in y’alls comments! It is truly our heart’s desire to continue this little “American dream” of ours for years to come. We hope to bring you many more quality MADE IN USA products as well as change the fate of dog’s in need while “Preserving The Sporting Lifestyle” we know and love, so that future generations can enjoy the beauty and adventure that was created for us all!
Love the commitment to tradition, love the company, and love the dog. I have never immediately been drawn to a brand as I was with this one. I shoot a Browning Citori over under and love it. I’ll never sell it and hope to give it to my son one day. Hopefully it will make it his son and beyond.ReplyCancel
Your story almost identically matches Roxy ( my 9 yo chocolat lab), Julie ( my wife), and My story; except for me just graduating high school when I got her and being from Missouri. She was a puppy my parents gave me after my first dog, Kibbles (chocolat lab), passed away my senior year of highschool. Roxy does everything with us from hiking, hunting, and swimming to going to stores and dinner. She brought my wife her engagement ring at our family farm, and was one of the major driving forces for me to become a Veterinarian. I am hooked already to your product, which is obviously quality american made products. I hope you guys the best.

I love the over under clothing line! The name, the lab, the whole idea is great. Preserving the lifestyle is a great thing. I am an avid hunter and fisher and my lab goes everywhere with me. I’m proudly the owner of two over under t shirts, red and navy blue. My lab champ sports the over under collar and in my front pocket I keep my cash in the leather money clip. I was turned on to the clothing line about a year ago when my friends store, Rivers and Glen, started caring the clothing line and products. Keep up the great work and you’ve got a lifetime customer here. I would love to see an American made over under cap come out as well. I love the company and everything it stands for. GO DAWGS!!!ReplyCancel
I just found your oh’ so Southern blog. Love it! I’m also excited to hear about Over Under Clothing. I’m a Jax girl myself but it’s the first I’ve heard of them. Thanks for sharing them and giving me a chance to win. I’m now a new follower and off to read more of your blog.

Hey everyone, I wanted to let you know Over Under has the nicest quality t shirts, and dog collars. The chums are better than regular ones(more thick, stay on the glasses better and dont come off). I really hope I win the contest but the one who deserves it most is up to Bryan Horn
BTW the stickers look rad on just about anything you can put them on, for isntance I have them on my mac laptop, car, and on my garage door window.ReplyCancel
I have my first yellow lab, Rigs. Now 10 months and 82 pounds! A loveable pet who is a loyal and true friend that goes most everywhere with me. Believe me, I am a lab lover and your pursuit to assist with the Lab Rescue shelters is so awesome. I admire your company for this as well. I like your products and actually just ordered a cap! Will return to read up more as well as shop!ReplyCancel
Ryan, a Damn Good Dawg, runs the blog Bowties & Boatshoes from up close to the Mason Dixon line. He does a great job of featuring new goods at a rapid-fire pace. Definitely leaning towards the preppy side, his contribution to the ‘Top of the Heap’ series is very appropriate: Unfortunately, I never got to know…
Nice one. Though my paternal grandfather is still living at 93 years old, he and my grandmother recently relocated out of their house to a smaller apartment. While cleaning out the house I came upon my grandfathers shine box and snagged it for myself too. I too will never, ever part with his either.ReplyCancel
I love this post! Things like shined shoes were so important to our grandparents’ generation. That pride in appearance careful use of possessions seems to be replaced with people just buying lots of stuff lately.
My dad and I spent weeks polishing my grandfather’s silver flask & shot glass set, and I gave it to my husband as his wedding present. Thanks for posting.ReplyCancel
Speaking of collaborations, two of my favorite brands – Southern Proper and State Traditions – have collaborated on an excellent collection of State Pride neckties and bow ties. What a great way to represent your roots in a classy way – either around the office, at church, or at the nuptials. …and when college football season…

Awesome post. I too was raised in the boonies but now find myself working and attending law school downtown. I can’t just throw myself into the express for men/Calvin k. crowd without feeling out of place. Like you I still dress appropriately given the societal conventions of urban living but I wear more odd jackets than suits.
Nice Tahoe! Count me in as another urban Filson fan, I carry my 257 to work most days in DC, and I pass another guy on Mass with the larger laptop bag that has been absolutely beat to hell, but it looks great.
I was carrying it while on a business trip to Seattle and made sure to stop by the factory so it could get a taste of home. As expensive as most bags are, Filson isn’t terribly extravagant these days. The only better value is the LL Bean Boat Tote, but those have a time and a place.
Everyone knows that if you use Filson gear and you weren’t in the Rough Riders with Teddy Roosevelt you are a poser.
Where would one find a living member of the Rough Riders these days?
Jackass.
All my luggage is Filson… fantastic stuff and feels like its going to last me forever. Keeps looking better and better with age.
my Filson came of age on the mean streets of D.C. now back in Texas, it gets a little more play in the field (stuffed with the occasional dove), though typically it’s a repository for the usual work accoutrements.
took a while to get that worn-in sheen we all so covet, but it’s there now and I’ll carry until it falls apart (which it never will). I’m no Rough Rider but we’ve got the Menger Bar just down the road, which is where TR came to recruit his cavalry in 1898. Close enough for me.
here’s a good piece for anyone itching for a little San Antonio history reading this morning: (http://www.texasmonthly.com/2005-09-01/texashistory.php)
@Mr. Wonderful-
I am friends with Jay and my comment was meant as joking reference to another person who frequently comments here. Just to clear things up.
Trip (sp?), I’m going to let it slide because you’re low hanging fruit and I’m in a good mood today.
Carry on gentlemen.
Poser is right. I live all the city posers carrying and wearing their filson gear. They still like playing dress up how cute. Wankers, plain and simple.
