Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures
Hey folks. Just dropping by, so busy these days it seems like 6 months goes by in a heartbeat. @OtterMeanGreen - nice pullman there. You were asking last month about Nanamica 261 totes: My wife has one that I snagged used, but brand new - for $80 Aussie! That was about 2015/2016 ish. She's...- speedy611

Ah yes indeed. I still do have it and use it. Shown here pulling a float during a break in the covid lockdowns where lit village celebrated the Queen’s platinum jubilee - 70 years on the throne! That FJ is a good lookin’ truck. I once saw a very very old version in rural Bolivia that had seen...- speedy611

@OtterMeanGreen - I've ridden motorcycles for years. And it used to be that a Belstaff waxed cotton jacket was the garment of choice. Can I get you consider using actual motorcycling equipment? Armour and materials like kevlar fabric or leather? Tin cloth just ain't the same - and even if you...- speedy611

Well hello @OtterMeanGreen - been a while! Thanks for the tag and reminder to poke my head in here. It's been a busy time of late with work and kids. And with working from home my Filson opportunities have been fewer. Interestingly too, the UK Filson store closed early in the pandemic, and...- speedy611

@originalhype - nice catch. I agree with Otter that the journeyman seems to have cult status at the moment and the 256/257 are somehow less appealing in the secondary market. Not sure if that’s to do with few people commuting / in offices perhaps?- speedy611

Love Yellowstone. Totally agree, Filson everywhere, and worn with panache too. Those cowboying skills are amazing.- speedy611

On dividers - I took one out of my 258 and was much happier with the result. The 258 has 3 - 2 attached to the bag and a third attached to one of the 2. That makes it easy to remove cleanly, and still leaves 2 for organisation. @WJR - this is of no help in your quest but I have a tan small...- speedy611

Long time no post. Hello! Delighted to see the spork remains @OtterMeanGreen ! I’m just back from a few nights away with my 256 and 242 and my spork also lives permanently in one of the pen pockets. in other Filson news, I got a total steal (£10!) on a silk/wool scarf 2 weeks ago. Meant for...- speedy611

Away! A family trip for new year. A pretty rare combo - Nanamica 261, 239 outfitter and workhorse 256. I had a happy time packing, looking at my choice of Pullman, 242, large wheeled duffle and the 239. Truth to tell this is probably only the 2nd time I’ve been able to use the outfitter. But...- speedy611

Agreed. In the shot I posted above with the Cessna - that 243 was packed with a week of gear, camera kit and boots. It was spectacularly heavy! Several years later I did a comparison pack between the 243 and a traditional large duffle. The full but not bursting duffle equates to very, very full...- speedy611

Hey folks. Sorry for absence. December has vanished in a blink of intense work. Otter suggested a throwback Thursday (I’m a day late, sue me :) ). Here is one of my earliest pics of my Pullman and 258 in outback Australia. That was 6 years ago - times flies! Working fully remote now so very...- speedy611

As ever @OtterMeanGreen you have an amazing memory. Yes, I’m a fan of minimal and zero drop shoes. I also wear birk Boston clogs in rotation with my redwings. I was for a while a beta tester of some Xero shoes products and I still think their sandals are about the best around. In one of my...- speedy611

Fun fact for you pen folk @BLNDRWMN and @mgrennier : my father was managing director of Parker at one stage. I have a much loved Sonnet set that saw me through University and 4 super rare limited edition Duofold sets which have never been out of the boxes!- speedy611

Entirely non Filson related but had to share for @TinMan3. I did wear my logger cap and I guess Filson was part of the equipping for the west coast gold rush so some tenuous link… As seen at a world heritage listed Cornish tin mine- speedy611

A week away in Cornwall in the UK. The 242 doing duty - basically totally full but doing great with 6 days of clothes and shoes + ultralight jacket and dopp. 256 for the electronics, with the wide strap which I love. Bean boots and logger- speedy611
