Country music star Chris Stapleton has teamed up with Filson, the renowned outdoor lifestyle brand, to launch The Traveller Collection—a must-have range of rugged yet stylish luggage and travel essentials. Stapleton’s connection to Filson dates back to his childhood in Kentucky, where his father sported a Filson vest during bird hunting outings with the family’s English setters. Now, fans and travellers alike can get their hands on this exceptional collection.
The Traveller Collection pays homage to Chris Stapleton’s 2015 debut solo album, sharing its name. However, it’s not just about the name; it’s about the shared values and passion for high-quality gear that make this partnership special. The collection comprises five key pieces: a dopp kit, backpack, outfitter bag, duffle bag, and suit bag. Each item seamlessly blends Filson’s heritage craftsmanship with modern style and unwavering durability.
The Traveller Outfitter Bag, unearthed from Filson’s archives, offers functionality with separate compartments and eye-catching yellow zippers handpicked by Stapleton. The grab handle and zipper reinforcements are upgraded with heavy-duty harness leather that’s vegetable-tanned in Pennsylvania by the legendary Wickett & Craig. Available for $995.
Inspired by Chris’s life on tour, the $195 Traveller Stowaway Backpack is a versatile and lightweight backpack crafted from British Millerain’s Ranger dry-waxed ripstop cotton, offering ample space and easy packing. The lightweight ripstop cotton fabric is lightly dry-waxed for water resistance.
The Traveller Dopp Kit, priced at $175, is a special colorway version of Filson’s rugged twill travel kit, complete with a collaboration hangtag. This iconic Dopp Kit is built for endless miles of travel and is fully lined to protect against spilled contents. Interior and exterior stow pockets help keep necessities organized. Chris’s initials are debossed on the leather zipper tab of this special-edition collaboration release.
The Traveller Medium Duffle Bag, is a timeless design that meets durability, with rugged twill and resilient harness leather construction, featuring Stapleton’s signature debossed onto the leather tab. This special leather has tallow and waxes infused into it during the time-intensive tanning process, yielding a superior, supple leather that only gets better with age. The bag is priced at $595.
Crafted with Ranger dry-waxed ripstop cotton from British Millerain, the Traveller Suit Cover, priced at $225, bears Stapleton’s initials on the zipper pulls and custom collaboration tags. The top has a scalloped opening and three webbing loops for hangers. Snaps and webbing handles on the top and bottom allow folded-hand carry.
