Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures
Nice to see the action on here again. I would second the thoughts on the weight of the Pullman. LOVED mine and thought it was THE classic Filson piece, but very heavy. Stuck with my 242, which has a great look (love the unique leather piping), but again weight and placement of straps are rough...- Dad Shoes

Show us how you roll in Engineered Garments
Thanks for the reply and the personal styling questions! In old EG (2015?) a small in the Bedford has a trim, slightly shrunken fit that is comfortable, but any smaller and it would be constricting. SS21 Bedford XS is bigger all the way around and comfortable without being oversized. For...- Dad Shoes

Show us how you roll in Engineered Garments
I've looked through this thread and I know that the general consensus is that the NB Jacket is a more trim version than the Bedford (and without the shoulder stitching, but with buttons on the sleeve). Can someone speak to how trim the NB is, and where it's more trim (chest? waist? shoulders...- Dad Shoes

Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures
I'm biased, of course, but I would agree. Classic Filson look, and functional too. Worked well for a 6-day trip with room to spare, carried it on to the planes with no issues, and fit neatly in the overhead bins. If I totally packed the bag out, I could see it being too heavy to lug around, but...- Dad Shoes

From a trip to DC last week. Pullman in the hotel lobby. Second photo is a 258 in the wild, at Reagan Airport (eerily empty).- Dad Shoes

Wow, that is really unique and looks great! From the Seattle flagship, I presume? Love the riff on the classic. How does the wool actually feel to the touch?- Dad Shoes

Got out to visit our oldest two daughters the last couple of days, so I took a pic of a couple of my other "babies." ;) (Please excuse the mess; it was in the rush of hotel check-out that I shot this quick photo.)- Dad Shoes

Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures
For me, the image that started it all was this one on the old Sartorialist blog: I just thought (and still think) that this picture sums up some of the great features of Filson stuff. It's rugged (this one's nicely broken-in), classic, and yet still half-way serious enough to blend into...- Dad Shoes

From the old Unionmade website. I visited this site religiously to stare at the pics of the bags when I first got into Filson. Then going into the shop to see them for the first time...it was quite an experience!- Dad Shoes

They were NYC-based and had a bunch of Filson bags several years ago that they distressed and treated so that they had a worn look to them. Interesting to see that one on eBay. Looks really nice actually. Also, probably the most Pullmans I've seen for sale at once on re-sale sites. You guys...- Dad Shoes

Looks great in Otter Green. Glad you posted this: I was wondering if the grid-like impressions on the leather pieces to the right and left of the handle are on all 242s, as they're on mine too. What is that from?- Dad Shoes

Thanks, it was a really good deal, and after reading Speedy's assessments and seeing his pics as well as others, I had to go for it. The seller said that his father had bought it for a big trip that he had planned with his mom years ago. Mom fell ill, and they cancelled the trip, so it had been...- Dad Shoes

Whoa, never seen that one before--nice find. So this one and the re-done Large Twill Carry-On look like scaled-back versions of the originals. Lacking the details of the originals like the longer carry straps, the Filson-stamped pull tabs, and the unique one-side-detachable leather strap guides...- Dad Shoes

For me, the bags that sum up what Filson is all about are the 242 Large Carry On, 243 Original Pullman, 256 Original Briefcase, and the 238 Outfitter. And all in tan, "The way God intended."- Dad Shoes
