I think the wool under the flap is cool but I'm not a fan of it on the sides. I feel like it would work better as a nice semi-hidden accent.
Picked up the zippered tote. Next to medium travel bag

I concur.
I agree. I would rather the plaid be only an accent under the flap, as opposed to the entire side. Did anyone else notice that this bag appears to use a different label (and label position) than that standard Filson bag? It appears to have some red in it and be located on the side, rather than under the flap.+1. Quite nice touch, but that's a bit much. Too gauche.
I had handgrips installed on my 256s and thought I'd share some data points for those who are interested. IMO it is a lot more comfortable to carry the 256 with the handgrip.
The 256 doesn't come with a handgrip initially and I contacted Filson about putting one on mine. They asked me to ship it out to them in Seattle. The entire process took a little over 2 weeks and cost $20, not including the initial cost of shipping to Filson.
+1, but I ordered my handgrip from Crane's Country Store ($10 + shipping = I think it was $17), and had it attached locally in San Francisco ($20). I'm very happy with how it came out.
I don't know what to do about the 256/257 situation though since I now just want a 256 tan but have both the 256 OG and 257 tan.
