    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

     If I don't use the pad it's actually a bit more comfortable. I believe the old design of the pad was just a thinner single piece of leather. The one on mine is two pieces: the top piece being a thinner leather and the bottom piece a thick piece. I fee like it's the thick piece that jams...

    Anybody else here find the shoulder pads to be uncomfortable? I've had my 257 for over a year and it's still constantly uncomfortable to use the shoulder pad as a cushion.

    Left Field NYC Clothing Thread

     These look great on you. What's you inseam? I'm a guy with a bigger butt and thighs who likes a medium/high rise but I also have stumps for legs so I don't think these will look as good on me as they do on you.

    Red Wing Boots - Your Opinion

     Yes definitely! The heel on the Beckman is easily the least aesthetically pleasing thing about the boot. I know some people would say the bulbous toe but I like it.

     That chocolate muleskinner would look great waxed like that!

     I'm not a fan because it looks too busy. Same reason I don't like the 258. If you need more space though it looks like it could work well.

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

     I've been wanting to see a before and after too but no one seems to have posted anything. I'm considering doing it myself to a tan 257. I'll definitely post here if I go through with it.

    Damn I've been wanting to grab a nave 256 for a while now but couldn't justify the price or having 2 briefcases. At $130 though I would have been all over it! Congrats to the guys who were able to order one.

    Red Wing Boots - Your Opinion

     Most likely just at a Red Wing store. I think Amazon has the wide sizes at times. Keep in mind only some models come in wide widths.

    Red Wing Boots - Your Opinion

     Yeah I just used a blow dryer to soften the LP then used my hands to rub it into the boot. After that I used to blow dryer on the boot to get it to seep into all the areas. I then brushed it down with a horse hair brush. The last step I did was repeat the whole process a second time. If you...

     I'm in Vancouver too and I applied two coat of Obenaufs LP and haven't had a problem with rain or puddles.

    Anyone try the 70083 backpack? I love Filson bags but I don't think that I can justify pulling the trigger at that price.

    Red Wing Boots - Your Opinion

     I want to give these a shot. I've been using my steel toe work socks from Mark's which are amazing but they're $10 a pair which is why I only have 4 of them. If I could I would own at least 10 pairs.

     Because it's not "heritage" enough. Thinking about it now I'm sure that Bianchi could cash in a bit by making a 10 speed steel frame to capture more of that "heritage" feel.

    Anyone thinking about giving these a try: http://www.redwingamsterdam.com/red-wing-shoes-4590-iron-ranger-chocolate-muleskinner/ws-pr/pr540 For those who have muleskinner boots, how do you take care of them?

    @flyswatter When I used my 257 as a personal item bag on an airplane I was able to fit 5 shirts, 5 boxers, and 5 pairs of socks as well as an 11" laptop, water bottle, a small book, and my toiletries. The bag looked stuffed but it worked. Converge and quuz show that you really need to know...

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    I'd second a 257. I was trying to decode between a 256 and 257 as a school bag and found that the 256 is full after a few books, laptop, and a water bottle. With the 257 I could fit all of that easily with extra room when I need to put other things. I've gone on a few trips with the 257 as well...

    Red Wing Boots - Your Opinion

    Had my 875s for nearly 4 months and have been wearing them daily but I still get pain in the back of my right ankle. I suspect it's because I do a lot of driving in these boots. Any suggestions on what can help? The boots are completely broken in save this one issue.
