Hey guys. Do any of you have any experience with the Filson Workshop Utility bag?

I've been thinking it could be a good bag for carrying tools or to keep in the back of the Jeep. Any thoughts on this? I think it's been discontinued. I saw it at the NY store a couple years ago but was too spendy at $225, I thought.

I believe Seattle outlet has some in stock.

Right, but is it a good bag? I don't really need another Filson bag - but "need" and "want" are two separate departments in my brain.
I have no experience with that particular bag. I was just throwing it out there that it looked like a good price if you hadn’t seen it posted somewhere else.
Interested to hear others input.

That one looked like a good, well-thought out bag. The problem, for me, was it is the same volume as many of the other bags that I already own so I couldn't justify spending the money on it. I did like the external pockets for organization!

What's the outlet price? - asks a guy too lazy to pick up the phone...

oh man. I just bit the bullet and the news was better than I had thought. I called the store just minutes ago. Spoke to the young lady that posted it on another social media site (her name was Delaney). The price in the post was $109 but when I called her, it was marked down even further - to - get this - $87 out the door.

I got it in otter green but they also have a tan one available in case anyone else wants to jump on it.

I really didn’t need that temptation...

Did you call the woman at the Filson store? She’ll hook you up! Mine is on its way and will be here on Monday
Thinking about it, but I’m trying to justify a use for it. Maybe for some skeet shooting paraphernalia or...I don’t know. I’m open to peer pressure ideas/excuses! The tan is tempting.

My newest bag that I treated myself with for Christmas: waxed wool 256. Love this bag so much. It’s super unique.

There’s too many people out there looking to make a few bucks on deals like this. It’s not worth the time for $25 profit per sale for me but there are plenty of people who are willing to do it for that. I find that most of the widespread deals I’ll buy what I want for me and pretty much leave it to the wolves to try and sell them. I bought one. But I do have a bunch of red small duffles and totes that I bought cheap and haven’t been able to move yet. Learned my lesson.
Are you selling any of the red bags?

I'd like to propose that we invite the CEO to our meetup in Seattle. For homework, we can ask him to spend 12 days reading this forum. You know, for research.

Agree with @speedy611 that would take months and he might end up hating us...well maybe just me :lol:

There was a time where I encouraged newer members to read the Filson conversation at length, but then again that was when we were at post # 10,000. I am not a masochist and wouldn’t suggest that today, not even I would attempt that again, we’ve grown so much. If you have a question, save yourself the time and ask the board & we’ll accommodate the best to our ability.

I actually think I would be more excited about the 48hr in twill. So, apply these sentiments there, please.

That and the removal of that ridiculous hard board sewn on the bottom for structure. With Rugged Twill that would be obsolete me thinks.

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was on the hunt for the 70081 Large Twill Carry on in Navy. Otter said he'd keep an eye out. Within a day or two, he found one on the bay that was mislabeled as a 256 at a pretty great price.

I couldn't resist. Received the bag yesterday and am glad I held out on the open tote deal at Nordstrom. This bag is a grail find for me! It's still got the tags on it, build date is 11/13 and is only missing the strap. Thanks @OtterMeanGreen!

Congratulations on another Navy bucket list item find!! So happy it worked out for you, looks even better in your photos.
