The Sunday Sale: Top Off Your Next Rugged Look With an (On-Sale) Filson Cap For Heritage Style Points

Filson trucker hat for men.

The right finishing touch can add plenty to an outfit, even if it feels subtle, simply or thrown on at a moment’s notice — it holds true for accessories in the world of fine tailoring, and it holds true as far as more casually rugged good looks are concerned, as well. Take the best hats for men, an accessory easily collected and easily worn, with functional roots and plenty of modern-meets-retro style for the taking.

After all, trucker hats (among other varieties of the best hats for men) — were handed out as promotional items for all sorts of companies, as my friends at Gear Patrol note. And it makes sense that Filson, purveyors of all things heritage Pacific Northwest style, gets in on the action with the Filson Mesh Logger Cap — one now available for a pleasing discount right now at the Filson Outlet Store.

Of course, that’s not the only action you’ll find up for grabs at a discount at Filson, from pocket tees to canvas work pants, lightweight spring and summer jackets and more. Let’s carry on, shall we?

If you follow me on Instagram, I can’t seem to pass up the chance to rock a good hat, especially of the trucker hat variety, and that very much includes this rugged Filson option.

Yessir, from press trips to bourbon country or time spent catching up with family in in Michigan over cold beers, if the occasion is a touch more laidback, and if it calls for cold beer, great whiskey and good times (or a combination of all three), I can’t resist throwing on one of my favorite hats for men, all with some rugged appeal and perhaps hard work in mind.

In my book, the Filson Mesh Logger Cap fits the bill nicely as an accessible, agreeable and hard-working cap fit for spring and summer, with all the proper touches one might expect from the historical brand known for its tough-as-nails outdoor gear. It gets the details right for under $35 on sale, including a breathable mesh back, a 6-panel build and a tough pre-curved bill for protection from the sun and debris out in the field.

Its debossed Filson metal buckle is complemented by the star of the show, the instantly recognizable Filson logo patch on the front, plus the company’s Dark Tan-meets-deep-brown color scheme, another Filson hallmark.

And while the discount certainly isn’t as massive as saving big on a Filson waxed trucker jacket, this handsome trucker hat is one you can feel great about buying at a discount, and then wearing plenty of days and nights on end this spring and summer. Hats off once again to Filson for making some of the best spring and summer gear, indeed.
