    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    I've gone through several Filson bags over the years and the last one left standing is my trusty 256 purchased in 2012 from Crane's for a mere $208.25 (using the StyleForum discount). Crazy to see that a new 256 costs $450 and the interior compartments don't include the pocket organizers...

    When did Filson lower the quality of the twill? I have an otter green 256 made on 12/12. Is that still 22oz?

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

     Not a huge fan of the standard Filson leather strap with my 256. I find that it's too long and the leather pad digs into my shoulder when the 256 is full loaded. Filson sells their leather straps on their website but for some reason does not sell their webbed straps that are similar to...

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    My otter green 256 (purchased in early 2013) seems constructed just as well as my old tan 257 (purchased in 2009). In fact, my 256 feels more rigid than my medium travel bag (purchased in 2011), but I think that's more due to the way the 256 is constructed.

    Thoughts on the orange tote? Can't tell if the orange is feminine or a masculine hunter's orange.

    I've been holding out for a while, but just ordered the medium duffle from eBags at 20% plus 12.5% cash back using eBates. This brings it to $228.80 when all is said and done. I've been happily using a medium travel bag for a few years but there have been too many times where it's not big enough.

    Edit: In response to below, I now see that it's cash back through a different website. Anyone have any experiences getting cash back through ebates?

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Just got a 37" strap ordered direct from Filson. The stock strap for the 256/257/258 is 46" and I find that too long (I'm 5'6"). I wanted to order the 40" strap as I figured that would be short enough but it's not in stock.

    Official Filson Thread - Clothing/Bags Etc

     That makes no sense. The color shouldn't matter. I wonder why Filson is getting so weird regarding the handgrip? Having used a non-handgrip 256, 257, and now a factory-installed handgrip 256, I can say it's essential!

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Filson is finally selling replacement leather straps on their website. Interestingly, they say the strap for the 256 is 40" long but I measured it being 44" long using the shortest hole. As a short guy, I always felt the strap was a tad long so I'd consider getting a shorter strap (possibly the...

     Use a hair dryer to heat up the wax when applying. Otherwise you will get white spots on the stitching after the LP dries.

     If you have a MacBook, I highly recommend the WaterField bags "Outback sleeve". It fits snugly in my 256 inner pocket and the aesthetics are a perfect compliment to the Filson. Made in the USA as well. http://www.sfbags.com/products/outback-laptop-sleeve/outback-sleeve.php
