Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

[jjfad]

Rucksack is great once broken in. I use mine a lot and love it. Perfect for camera and days essentials.

Could you post some photos? Thanks!

Im looking to upgrade my weekend/travel bag. Im deciding between the Filson Small Duffle and the Filson Medium Travel Bag. I want whatever bag to be acceptable carry-on luggage, and both of these are. Anyone know what the real difference between these bags is? Thanks.

No need to for this forum, and it will save a copy in your profile album if you want to pull it up later too.

A lot of people are using the medium duffle as airplane carry-ons as well, but not filling it to capacity. So long as you can stuff it into the size-o-meter box, then you can generally get away with it.

Has anyone checked out the Filson bags that Brooks Brothers is now selling? I'd like to know if they're any different from standard Filson gear. It doesn't look like they've been modified, but who knows? But if Brooks is selling it, it will eventually go on sale, and I can use my discount card.

They look and are priced the same.

Colour from the leather. I suppose if you're wearing a rather dark flannel underneath, it's not noticeable. But a lightweight button-up or light coloured t-shirt will see transfer from the armpits up to the top of the shoulder.

Hmm never noticed this on any of my bags and I usually wear blue oxfords or something similar.

Thesilentist posted this on his tumblr:

I heard Cranes offers a discount to SF members? Anyone know who to contact about this?

Call him.

Yup Filson can always be had by just calling Cranes or if you are in the Bay Area, Cable Car Clothiers. Both stores offer great service and it's really a shame to see so many members not call and just keep asking for deals.

It really depends on the kind of traveling you are doing. If your shouldering is just from one conveyance to the next, car to hotel, taxi to plane, etc., then shouldering is no problem. If you are schlepping your bag for any distance, be an evolved man and leverage innovations like the wheel.

I completely agree.
I was on a trip that involved multiple airport terminals and multiple stops once. Shouldering my Filson duffle turned out to be a pain.
I now only use my Filson duffle for road trips or one-flight check-in, and my Briggs & Riley for stops and gos travel.

50/50 on this one. It's still a hassle walking a few miles with a relatively filled bag but I still feel it works better especially when you are walking in crowded areas. No issue with duffle over shoulder or in front of me, no way I can walk a normal pace with rolling luggage.

A lot of people are using the medium duffle as airplane carry-ons as well, but not filling it to capacity.  So long as you can stuff it into the size-o-meter box, then you can generally get away with it.

I've used my duffle countless times over carry on capacity and it's never been an issue (Including RyanAir multiple times). Only time it doesn't fit on a plane's overhead compartment is on the tiny planes from Indiana to Chicago or something like that, but then they gate check everything so it's not an issue. I also got weighed the duffle weighed once in Asia but no matter what bag I was using I'd be over the carryon limit
