I like that a lot. I would’ve bought one if they had made it in the 36-38mm range. It looks fantastic on the red strap.What say you to this?
Have any of you bought and/or owned prototype or one-off bags?
Has anyone used Filson brand leather conditioner on your bags’ leather straps on either side of the zipper, pulls, carrying strap, and leather bases where you attach the carrying strap? If so, I would appreciate hearing about your experience with it, any tips on application, any disadvantage to applying it, etc. And, should I apply it as a preventative measure if the leather is in good shape? Or, should I wait to apply if the leather starts to dry out? I apologize in advance if these are basic questions to which I should know the answers. Thanks!
I had a couple of prototypes for the Weatherproof Leather Duffle and Briefcase. Ended up selling the Duffle but I still have the Briefcase hidden away.Have any of you bought and/or owned prototype or one-off bags?
Is it much different than the actual production model?I had a couple of prototypes for the Weatherproof Leather Duffle and Briefcase. Ended up selling the Duffle but I still have the Briefcase hidden away.
The leather seemed a bit different. Not sure if they were trying out other leather vendors besides Wickett & Craig or just different treatments of the leather from them to find the perfect shade. I'll see if I don't have any pictures of the duffel and try to grab a few of the briefcase once I get it out of storage.Is it much different than the actual production model?
Don’t worry it’s not that strong on the green dial either, by early morning it’s difficult to read.**Update to my recent Filson Field Watch review**
Much to my surprise the white dial version does have luminous numerals and markers. Since it is the black-colored compound it is not very strong or long-lasting, but it is there. I must say after discovering this, there is very little to fault in this watch. A great effort by Filson/Shinola/Bedrock.
Stopped in Eagan MN yesterday on my way through. Probably saved me a couple hundred.
