Just to be clear: Filson is still "good" quality for the price IMO, but vintage Filson is built like a tank. My button down shirts from 15 years ago have never even needed a button replaced, whereas newer shirt construction from Bangladesh does not seem as strong to me. Material quality is better/heavier for my older shirts. I'm not sure if they scrapped it, but somewhat recently (a year ago?) I saw that they were trying to facilitate sales of vintage Filson through their site presumably because they see the people who care about quality buying vintage Filson on eBay instead of the newer stuff they're selling. Also, while it's certainly not the case that "made overseas = lesser quality", Filson's website has a prominently displayed filter/category for "Made in the USA". This is where you can get a really heavy knit sweater for $500 that IMO is worthy of the old Filson name.
