I just ordered one as well, we will see if it gets shipped. The amount of traffic I'm seeing on this listing from multiple sites I can not Imagine how many have been purchased.

sold out now apparently

thanks @linablair for starting the feeding frenzy!

Happy to help feed the addiction. I didn't end up making the purchase. I've got a mackinaw red 260 and a tan 261 with an 11/09 build date, so I couldn't justify the purchase. Awfully tempting though! I'm holding out for the large travel bag in navy...

I've been to New York,DC,Naperville and Boston stores and New York by far best of group. Really great people working there,great selection,large enough,not to mention the great 163 year old barn that is part of the stores store is in a really nice Manhattan neighborhood that features some incredible architecture in neighboring buildings
I've been to the Seattle flagship, both NY Stores, London store, both Dallas area stores, Austin and Detroit, plus the Minneapolis outlet. The Seattle flagship and the main New York store are the most similar except that Seattle has the factory attached to it, which gives it a leg up, IMO.

I'd prefer the Seattle store especially if we could do a custom FRD session. That would be crazy good although I don't need anything else at the moment (I mean seriously, how can I travel with my 6 Filson bags?) (or is it 7?)

We could also include a trip up to the Seattle outlet store (not in Seattle but close-ish).

Who's going to pick a weekend?

There were a couple of interesting subs on the Filson Reddit that I thought folks here might be interested in checking out. It started with a complaint going to Filson's customer service, and ended with the original poster having a phone call with Tom Kartsotis (head of Bedrock, which owns Filson) and a lengthy e-mail from Paolo Corinaldesi.

Original sub:
https://www.reddit.com/r/filson/comments/kq940a/filson_frustration/

Follow-up sub:

I thought these subs went along well with what TinMan3 wonderfully wrote earlier. I share a similar affinity to my Filson products. For me, it stems back to the late 80's when my dad extolled the value of well-crafted products. At the time, my dad was frequently traveling across the country, and had a Filson duffle bag that he took with him on all his trips. Then when I graduated high school, he bought me my first Filson product: a 257 in otter green.

Flash forward a couple of decades, and I find myself living just down the road from Filson's HQ. I pop up to their showroom regularly, whenever I have to be in Seattle. I love chatting with the craftspeople in the restoration shop, swapping stories about bags and dreaming about unicorns. Inevitably during those chats, other customers get involved and before long the retail space becomes more of a living room of sorts where a bunch of strangers enjoy talking about Filson and the adventures that their Filson products have accompanied them on.

Soooo, yeah, Filson has cultivated, quite naturally it seems, a community that has wonderful little nooks all around the interwebs and globe.

And for fun, my latest bags:

Filson needs to be consistent, Why is the shoulder strap padding not the same as other briefcase? It i just one single layer of leather. It is just like the old briefcase.

Thought, i would have fun.
I the the medium duffle has blue, forest green and tan color. I would love to see a burgundy/plum/or cranberry option. Something like below.

I would love the plum/cranberry color bags as they are different and have a royal look.

Give me enough notice and assuming covid permits I might even fly over from the mother country.
@mgrennier - 6 or 7 bags? Are you unwell? That’s table stakes!
