Filson Lightweight Alaskan Guide Shirt

Midweight version of the iconic back-country shirt

Often imitated, never bettered, Filson’s original Alaskan Guide Shirt has been worn by cowboys, ranchers and tradesmen for more than a quarter of a century. While the standard guide shirt comes in a heavier brushed flannel, they also do this much lighter version in midweight 5oz cotton twill. It’s soft and breathable, but tough enough to stand up to the rigours of the outdoors. Other details point to Filson’s authentic outdoor heritage – pleated rear shoulders allow unrestricted ease of motion, whether you’re shouldering a shotgun, casting a fly or swinging an axe. Dual flapped chest pockets are gusset-expandable for bulkier items and fasten with virtually unbreakable custom Filson buttons. Though they call it ‘lightweight’, the cloth used on this shirt still has a bit of heft to it, so if you’re after something for really hot weather then you could have a gander at Filson’s 3oz ‘feather cloth’ shirts
