    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    You folks may enjoy this channel on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIMXKin1fXXCeq2UJePJEog If you liked the Alone in the wilderness you will like this. He doesn't talk much and just lets the sounds and sights of nature shine through. Very relaxing to watch.

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Well said. For me, I will keep it as simple as I can and say... every single time I see my Filson bag I am filled with joy. The feel of the texture of the bag, the sound the zipper makes and the feel of the zipper. It just brings me joy to see a quality made bag and something that I know will...

    Nice score. That looks freaking massive though. I can't imagine carrying that around. Even a large duffle would probably be easier because of the shape. Fully packed I imagine it would be like a 246 on steroids just a giant cube lol

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Filson is not the only company moving to Vietnam. I recently noticed that GoRuck (probably the last company you would have expected) has moved most of its manufacturing to Vietnam too. I can't say I am super surprised but it makes me wonder how much longer any US made company can hold off. I...

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    I have no doubt in my mind that Filson quality has gone down. When I first got into Filson, I bought 3 brand new bedrock bags - a medium duffle in navy, a medium duffle in tan and a small duffle in otter green. Since I had never owned any Filsons before, when I got them, I just assumed the...

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    I keep wanting to add to my collection, but I am finding it hard to do so. I only have two bags: 256 (Original Briefcase) and 246 (MTB). The combination of the two seems like the most perfect way to travel. I bring the 256 as my personal item and the 246 as a carry on. I can travel for weeks at...

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    I agree fully. I never thought I would consider the MTB #246. I was looking for a regular medium duffle and I went and bought one on craigslist. Turned out to be a MTB and I got a great deal on it (2009, YKK, mint condition never used). Since then it has been my go to bag for most everything...

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    I am looking to buy a Filson Travel Kit (aka toiletries bag) to match with my 256 and 246 in tan. I am specifically looking for one in TAN with YKK zippers, preferably somewhere around 2006-2010 year build. I'd prefer it to be in excellent/like new condition but I'll consider all options :) If...

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Some people seem to think that all images are "fair game" and can be used freely. I've had someone on ebay rip off my entire photos AND description word for word. It's frustrating but I think these people just wish they could take photos as good as the ones I post. Like most things, I think the...

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    I love my MTB. I owned a medium duffle before (newer version) and it was awful compared to the MTB. The nice thing about this 246 MTB is that the zippers go down a bit further giving much better access inside. I also like that there's no outer storm flap, it allows the nice brass zipper to shine...

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Yeah I know YKK zips were used sporadically for a bit (leftovers maybe?). I guess my real question is like you asked... has anyone ever seen Filson zippers on anything earlier than 07/09 build?

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    I was wondering if any of the experts here happened to know when the last month was that Filson stopped using YKK branded YKK zippers and switched to "Filson" branded YZZ? My bag is dated 03/09 and has YKK zippers. Today, I saw this Pullman that had sold on ebay and it was dated 07/09 and it...

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Yeah I saw that they had some deals. The roll-on suitcases are also over 50% off. The Filson wallet is marked down to $54.90 (from $135). The small pullman at $199 is definitely tempting. There is also a small black duffle bag on for $161.

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    I lucked out tonight big time. I went out to buy a duffle bag I saw tonight on craigslist. It was just posted 30 minutes ago and I jumped on it. Title said "Small Filson Duffle" and the pictures were poor. Guy was asking $170 I offered $150 and he accepted. So I drove out, got there, paid $150...

    Thanks guys. I thought it was a 242 but I was confused because the 242's I looked at had some differences like the front zippered pouch and no straps inside of it to secure clothing (I kind of like that actually).

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone here would be able to tell me more about this Filson bag, based on these photos? Specifically I am wondering roughly what year it is, and if anyone knows the model # and type of bag. It has Talon zippers. When did Filson switch from Talon to YKK? Thanks a...
