    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Hey I am a big fan of the classic tan in both twill and tin. Love the way it wears and shows age. Recently picked up a tan tin cloth jacket and it is now my primary work coat. Some folks seem to like the unworn blue jeans with cuffs showing and work boots and others go for the duck hunter...

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Howdy, been lurking awhile. Long time Filson 257 user....never even knew it was called a 257 before I landed here! We lived in Seattle and my wife bought my Filson briefcase for my birthday at the original Filson store (not the current location, and not nearly as fancy then) about 30 years ago...
