    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    That happened to mine years ago. I wrote Filson and they sent me a replacement (my recollection is for free). I removed the rivet, replaced the clip, and installed a brass screw rivet.

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    This made me go back to see what I paid for my 257 in 2009. The answer? $187.20. Crazy.

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    I did the reverse. Filson wouldn’t do the repair, so I did. It is odd and stands out, but suits me.

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Nice work. I haven’t posted here in quite a while (still working remote 60% of the time and little air travel). But I’m working on something similar for the bassist in the family band: This is before sanding/clear nitro and polishing which I hope to get around to in the next week or two.

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    I check in from time-to-time and don’t mind the diversions. Preferred EDC is a Chris Reeve Small Insingo. Watch a Stowa Antea KS. And I still have my first car - I bought it in 1989 (used, of course).

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Yeah, I’ve always had a problem with buying new “disposable” goods. I re-sharpen my knives when they get dull, build up old nice quality bike frames that I come across, still have a 1965 Buick that I bought in 1989, wear Allen Edmonds dress shoes that I bought in 2010 (recrafted twice), didn’t...

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Yeah - that was my bag. They offered 25% off a single item. I still love Filson, but I now have lower expectations of them standing behind their products. The benefit is that I now carry my self-repaired Franken-Filson with pride. I have difficulty throwing things out that I can “fix” (I know...

    And you can even replace both of them with ones that say “Talon” . . .

    Pry up the tab on the slider just enough to remove the pull tab from the slot, replace the pull tab, and crimp the tab back down. The slot is shown in this picture.

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Agree re the 257. I thought that was the perfect size; 256 being too small and the 258 being too large. I assumed that was one of their better sellers but must’ve been wrong. I like the look of tin cloth, but don’t think it would be as durable as the twill (I’d like to be told I’m wrong as far...

    Gives me another opportunity to show off my twill seams. But from SF, instead of my typical NYC locale. I actually got a compliment on the flight out here yesterday.

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    I vote for one of these. We have 4 in our household: Badlands, Yellowstone, Crater Lake and Olympic. Each of the 3 kids joined the “club” when they turned 10. While they sometimes grow tired of me espousing the virtues of natural fabrics and buying quality goods that last, they cherish their...

    The hideous frankenfilson. Still some issues to address, but nothing urgent.

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    It was what another forum member provided to me. After a year I suspect it will blend in much better.
