Country music superstar Chris Stapleton is having an incredible month. Last week, the singer-songwriter returned to Nashville, the city that launched his career, to nab his seventh Male Vocalist of the Year trophy—and third consecutive win—at the 2023 CMA Awards. (He was also nominated for Entertainer of the Year.) Earlier that night, he performed the lead single off his upcoming fifth studio album, Higher, “White Horse,” and “We Don’t Fight Anymore,” his collaboration with Carly Pearce that earned him a nomination for Musical Event of the Year.
While fans can celebrate Stapleton’s wins tomorrow by playing Higher when it’s officially released on DSPs, the fashion-forward can participate with another Stapleton victory: his collaboration with Filson.

Launched in early October, the singer-songwriter teamed up with American heritage brand Filson to release the Chris Stapleton “Traveller Collection,” a capsule drop inspired by the singer’s “needs on the road,” which includes five hardy travel-ready bags. The Travel Collection includes the Traveller Outfitter Bag, the Traveller Medium Duffle Bag, the Traveller Dopp Kit, the Traveller Stowaway Backpack, and, for those who frequently travel in style, the Traveller Suit Cover. Each piece in the Travel Collection was made with Filson's design team and Stapleton’s input, crafted to the singer's preferences and personal style. Each item is made with extra-heavy harness leather, YKK zippers, and hard-wearing rugged twill cotton.
"It's been an incredible process developing the ‘Traveller Collection’ with Filson.” says Chris Stapleton, in a press release. “... Filson feels like part of my family, and their commitment to lasting craftsmanship aligns perfectly with my values. It's been an honor to collaborate with such a legendary brand that creates products meant to outlive us all."
Additionally, Filson has also released two pieces of clothing with the singer: the Chris Stapleton Signature Mackinaw Cruiser and the Outlaw State of Kind T-Shirt.
The Filson x Chris Stapleton Signature Mackinaw Wool Cruiser is a $500 piece of outerwear crafted from deadstock Mackinaw wool from Filson's archives and sewn together in limited quantities. Although this is a new one-off collab item, it’s a variation of an iconic Filson jacket that's been in its catalog for over 100 years. It’s sewn in the USA, wind-resistant, features four front cargo pockets, a full-width back packet and hidden hand pockets, and, in typical heritage Filson fashion, fairly heavy. Grab one in men's sizes XS to 3XL.
Finally, Filson's charitable collaboration with Chris Stapleton is the Outlaw State of Kind T-Shirt. Available in coal and dark heather gray, proceeds from the tee directly supports Stapleton’s charitable fund that provides aid for natural disaster relief, youth education, and "other important issues" the fund deems important. It's available in men's sizes XS to 3XL.
Shop the entire Filson collection before it sells out—which, given the current hot streak of Stapleton's career, should be sooner than later.
