My dad has the same one and it's still running strong today. I drove it for a while in high school and college - very good memories lol. Driving a truck as a daily isn't feasible in my position but still my favorite type of vehicle to drive.Toyota guy here. Bought a brand new 4wd Tacoma in 03, sold it last fall. Had a set of tools in it, the only thing I ever used them for was to change one tire and tighten the side plastic cover on my seat, and the door latch catch!
Traded it in for a 2019.
Hey friends. Help steer a semi-newb in the right direction here. I’ve read hundreds of pages of this thread but still don’t quite know what I need. I have a small and medium duffle already. Now I’m looking for an edc shoulder bag that can also work as a personal item on flights (maybe 2 to 6 times per year, covid not withstanding). Everyday day stuff being maybe a small laptop or iPad Pro, a book, compact umbrella, pens, paper, etc. the usual stuff really. Nothing larger like cameras and lenses.
I lean toward rugged twill over tin, but am open to either. Do you all tend to wax your twill as well? The briefcase seems good but perhaps a little slim/small when it switches over to carry on/personal item duty. So where does that leave me? The 24 Hour? Something else?
Thanks in advance. Really appreciate the expertise of this sub.
I'd rather have the extra space and not need it than to need the space and not have it.
I have found the best dog walking "bag" is the trout fishing fanny pack. Can put treats in one front pocket, bags for poop pickup in the other and it will fit a small bottle of water and a collapsable bowl. I removed the sheepskin fly material. It works great. Dogs now know when I put it on, we are walking!My addiction is the same. Oh, and I forgot I have two of the tin cloth field duffles. I use one for the gym and one is my sons.
We’re getting a lab puppy in a few weeks and my wife’s already giving me a hard time bc I said I needed a bag for walks around the property.
When did Filson lower the quality of the twill? I have an otter green 256 made on 12/12. Is that still 22oz?
... and I’ll just repost this so you have an actual hands on comparison.really, you guys kill me. here again are measurements taken at the same location on both a talon era outfitter, and a brand new sportsman (the blocks give the calipers clearance to clear the double seam of the pocket, and spread the measurement over a larger surface area to avoid crushing the material and giving false readings).

Most of the QC and cost cutting issues appear to have started around 2016.When did Filson lower the quality of the twill? I have an otter green 256 made on 12/12. Is that still 22oz?

Like OMG I also like the 257 for when I travel. I carry the 257 and a small duffle for 2 night trips, 257 and medium for longer. I have the older medium 222 which is overkill even for 3-4 nights.
What color do you prefer?
Really helpful, thanks. 257 might be the way to go then. Any idea what an appropriate price is for one in new/good condition, given they are discontinued? For example I see a navy one on eBay for $350, but no clue if that’s good or not.#257 all the way. Perfect companion to a duffel or MTB (as seen below). It’s better then the #256 because of it’s built in organization sleeves and pockets. Some will disagree with me on that, especially those that have removed theirs. However a #256 struggles to hold larger laptops and lacks padding. I am not a fan of having to buy pouches for my things, so I require the bag to feature interior organization. It’s a timeless classic, tracing its roots back to the beginning of Rugged Twill (1992 or thereabouts), and looks excellent with or without patina. They are one of the many luggage items discontinued by Bedrock Filson, but eBay has them and so do our resident Filson slingers: @GzStudio and @TinMan3 .
