I’ve been waiting for the DU announcement. Have heard some rumblings and even contacted by a few local DU staff, as they know I like my filson.

I know that video is supposed to show off the new dry bags & DU stuff, but I can't keep my eyes off the Smokey Bear totes!

I didn't even notice that until you said something! Cool!

Yes, @TinMan3 has some pictures and it looks like they are coming out with a new Smokey line as well as some really cool Wool products as well that they showed at ShotShow.

And what was that last bag? It looked like a cross between a pullman and a medium duffle. Certainly taller than a small duffle. New form factor?
For what it’s worth, I’ve never heard of ducks unlimited, but it’s clearly a big enough deal that they’ve gone for the outside logo patch similar to the Nanamica collaborations previously.

Me too, especially since I’m in the market for a Tote. Since I already owned a #261 (sold to GZSTUDIO), I have my eye on a unique #260 Open Tote, possibly Nanamica or FRD. Price is key. I don’t think I could buy a Filson model that I have already owned, as that would be a first, so I’m open to new possibilities. Never considered the #260 until I saw @TinMan3 FRD and the eBay FRD listing i wafted on recently.

Man this Patina is tasty. One day my 257 will look like this. @mgrennier i know what you’re thinking, and I agree, I am way too careful with it.

Last week while commuting to work one of the rivets (?) busted on my strap on my leather field satchel. I took it to my local shoe repair thinking I would save the trouble of sending it back to Filson to repair and all the environmental impact, but apparently they want $65 to do it. I said no thanks. A little appalling to charge that much to install a rivet.

I've submitted a repair request to Filson.

In the mean time I was using the leather strap from my 256 with my field satchel and didn't realize that strap and the one for my field satchel are different lengths.

Ducks Unlimited is the largest Wetland Conservation Group. Raised over $2 Billion on last capital campaign for land conservation. Most of its members are duck hunters, however the group is for conservation, not hunting or gun rights.

Just came across this on the web. Ever seen it?

 

[nevadabob]

I think that's part of the Sebago Filson collection.

Hmm, well that wasn't it. I do remember that bag, though. Twas marketed as having tough leather in all of the high wear areas. There were a couple of bags in the line. I believe it came out about the time Filson started introducing orange twill.

Reminds me of the Horween Sportsman from around ‘15.

Yep. Same run. Horween leather original briefcase.
