Yep, call the number listed on the website. Took about a week and a half to get the bag back.

Highly recommend it. Makes the bag more comfortable to hold when using the handles. Also keeps the handles in place and prevents them from flopping around when using the shoulder strap.

^Vest looks great. I've been eyeing it lately. I assume you sized down?

I have been eying the tin cruiser jacket for a while, but haven't been able to get to a store to try it on. Does anyone know how it fits. I find most Filson jackets to be pretty boxy. Unlike many of the others it's available in actual sizes (38 - 50) so I am hopping it is a little more fitted than just L or XL. Anyone know?

Interesting idea. I'm normally a 40, but I always size down to a 38 w/ Filson. I assume you did a cold wash and hang dry?

actually it was risky ... my gf did my laundry and after asking her about it she told me she just did it like normal. normal colored wash (not delicate) and tumble dry (again normal).

i live in the dorms so the washer/dryers are in between on the decent to doodoo scale.
