Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

[mgrennier]

BTW, I'm new here, but major props to GzStudio for dealing w/ my bumbling, as well as re-shipping after another mistake resulted in improper address! Thanks for puttin' up w/ me Gz! Excited about that OG 256!

You'll love the 256 and GZ is the real deal....

It sounds like the medium duffle has a LOT of range. Maybe overkill for an overnight trip, but beyond that, it can cover a lot of different durations!

The small duffle has the 1-2 night trips covered. I try to use it when I can with the Journeyman:I don't feel weighed down and can move quickly through the terminal but still got 52L of combined capacity! As a point of comparison I once ran through Heathrow Terminal 5 (A to C) with a soft briefcase and a fully loaded large travel bag and it was harder than doing wind sprints up a ski hill.

Hmmm...I am now curious how long a business trip I can go with just the small duffle and the Journeyman.

Hah. I reckon duration depends on efficiency of the hotel laundry and how much non- biz clothing you need, and the assumption that it’s not freezing cold. Wearing sport coat/ slacks / shoes and having one more in the small duffle plus shirts and a casual outfit means you could keep going as long as you wanted - or were able to tolerate the same outfits...

With that setup (Briefcase & LTB) you become the wind rather than the windbreaker. How many tourists with Tumi's did you blow over lol

So I got two answers to two different questions (well sorta). One: how does the 24 Hour Patina? Two: how does the Navy Patina (although it's not rugged twill which I really want to know)?

Answers: One = not very well. Two = since it's not rugged twill I will have to say also not very well. Both become dirty rather than the quintessential patinated look.

Has anyone heard of these or have any experience with them. They are quite fetching and offer a beautiful waxed canvas and liner.

Why does this guy put "Filson" in his title if it's not a Filson....or is it. I was thinking about buying it but have no idea about these things. Apparently they started out as a blog which became a clothing and accessory company, but lasted only 6 years. Not sure I feel comfortable paying more than $100 (which just so happens to be around the starting bid). Gorgeous bag nonetheless, love the leather strap that streamlines down the center.

DAMN another one for sale....but for the third time it's Tan bloody Tan. When is a OG or Navy one gonna surface? I wonder why these are popping up for sale all of a sudden, especially after I expressed my interest for one. A mismanaged title for sure.

Who might this little bird be? And that's how I roll......always with an 'almost'....either way, it is very generous and unilaterally welcomed!

I received something similar, and called to say thanks and ask why.

so by that, would you be in the 1st-9th spender?

To get people that are looking for Filson to look. Looks like it worked.

Dear otter,

Wow very cool find and much appreciated. Another deceiving title lol

All I gotta do now is take a trip to Seattle to pick it up lol. I contacted the seller so let us see what happens. I do like it in Navy the best but still unsure how Navy patinas, so OG might be the safe bet.

HAHA yes looked like it did. But I am a lookin not a buyin...so it only worked halfway.

also it could be shear laziness in people hitting the 'sell one like this' button....I get that way too much from people doing that from my listings and copying almost everything, regardless if it applies or not.

This is getting a bit ridiculous.....(this was one I recently sold to them btw). My guess is that they are going to have the same luck as bucky coperpot (don't remember exact handle) is having on trying to unload their bags...
