    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    I guess it depends on your height. I am only 5 8. I wore a jacket when I tried the 34 inch strap. it was long enough. Although you could make more holes on the original strap, the problem is that part of the strap that sticks out from the buckle gets way too long.

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Just FYI (not sure if it is something that has been discussed here): I know that the briefcase shoulder strap (e.g., on the 256) is too long for some people. I bought a new 256 yesterday at a Filson retail store, and the salesperson who was assisting me was able to replace the original strap...

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    It is bridle leather according to Filson. I actually went to a Steven Alan store to check the bags out. I personally think the leather on the red label bags is roughly comparable to that on the original filson bags. But the canvas is definitely thinner. I think the red label uses 18 oz canvas...

    Has anyone had snap buttons installed on the external pockets of the briefcases or tote bags to keep the pockets closed?

    Filson bags in blue, limited edition of 30 -- got my hands on one! :-)

    Question: a member from the filson with photos thread said that the navy blue bags have a softer material and the leather doesn't look as good. And the fabric tends to attract dust. Do you find these to be a problem? Thanks!

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    How is the quality of the red label compared to the regular Filson? Based on the pictures I've seen, the fabric seems a lot softer. Not sure if the same kind of heavy duty canvas is also used for red label products.

    Hi Rach, How is the quality of Bally? It seems that Bally is one of those high end brands that people all know about, but few people actually own anything from it. Thanks!

    help, new suit pants have ugly ripples

    May I ask, how much you paid for the partial recutting alteration? My pants generally also have the ripple problem. I tried Despos' method by pulling the back of my pants a little bit, and the ripples disappeared. Since it is a partial recutting work, I assume it is expensive.

    The Definitive MANBAG Thread Part I: 2009-2014

    I was cleaning my closet yesterday and found this bag that I had bought when I was in college in '04. I almost forgot about its existence... I rarely used it (imagine carrying it on a college campus...), and it certainly doesn't match my style now...

    Official Paul Smith Shoe Thread... all PS shoe questions here

    do you guys know if any shoes are on sale at Paul Smith boutiques? It seems that there is 50% off sale on their website, but I'd rather try the shoes on and buy them at their brick and mortar stores if possible. Thanks!

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Question: If I send my 256 to Filson to have the handle installed, how long will it take for them to install it and send it back?

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Hi guys, I bought a 256 at the Filson Portland store (Woohoo~). I am loving it so far, but the shoulder strap is really not all that comfortable. For those who have had the same bag or a similar bag, my question is, will the shoulder strap get more comfortable with age? Thanks!

    can the sleeves on a suit with functional buttons be shortened?

    What exactly is considered a non-working button? I bought a blazer from Prada recently, and there were no real button holes, so I thought the buttons were non-functional. But Prada's in-house tailor insisted that the shortening should be done from the shoulder. That got me really confused. I...
