C.C. Filson is a Seattle, Washington,-based, privately owned outfitter and manufacturer of goods for outdoor enthusiasts. The company designs, manufactures, distributes and sells men's and women's outdoor clothing, accessories and luggage.

The company was originally established in Seattle in 1897 as C.C.
