History meets heritage at the new Ballard Filson (5101 Ballard Ave.; 206.420.8413; filson.com), where the 120-year-old brand married its hallmark rugged attire with goods emblematic of Ballard’s fishing and maritime past. Exclusive to the shop are fishing and shucking knives ($14–$20) and Filson’s own neighborhood-themed T-shirts and hoodies ($30–$50), plus hardy zippered pouches ($55–$105) and ice totes ($175) made from canvas sea bags. Opened last November in the historic 1904 Hansen Building, the shop exudes a rustic refinement, with massive split cedar beams, antique adornments and an 1800s ship wheel retrofitted as a chandelier. 

Local designer Radley Raven’s (425.310.5748; radleyraven.com) eponymous, 3-year-old accessory line draws inspiration from the Roaring ’20s; the native Seattleite creates his trendy-again bow ties ($80) and pocket squares ($30–$50) exclusively from vintage fabrics. “I’ve always loved the era of gin and jazz, so when it came to designing bow ties, I loved the idea of preserving the amazing fabrics from that time period,” Raven says. Each limited-edition bow tie comes with a handwritten tag detailing the fabric type and where it was made, the circa date and the number of bow ties made from that fabric. He also added Italian-style multifold cotton, cotton-blend and wool-blend neckties ($120). Raven’s natty creations are available at the new Provisions general store in the 1914 Smith Tower as well as online.
