i have no problem with either point 2 and 3. indeed i find it to be quite unique that straps are on back instead of side. also rear pocket is very useful.
THANKS much much!

My Filson 256 has started to smell due to moisture. It was kept for sometime in an enclosed space while it was still slightly damp.
Is there anyway to clean the bag and remove the smell? I've tried water and a damp cloth, and even vodka.
Also, should I look into rewaxing the bag? The oil finish wax on Filson's website seems suitable for the job.
TIA!
wool is lighter and less stiff. Sold mine as it didnt hold shapeSince this thread is quite massive and search didn't yield the desired results, can anyone advise how wool bags compare to regular waxed canvas ones? Is wool lighter or heavier? More or less rough and stiff?

It would have been great without the pleated front snap pocket. And... who the hell is going to pay $350 for that? Better off with a GoRuck or any number of options.
My briefcase has a 3/4" thread lingering from where the hand grip was stitched to the handle. I didn't notice this before. Should I cut it off or let it be?
So I got my Navy canvas field bag. It's a bit less substantial feeling than the natural canvas field bag I got. Not sure whether I'm going to keep it or not. I really like the veg-tan leather, but I'd also prefer a navy twill bag. Of course, navy twill field bags aren't out yet and the difference in prices is quite compelling.
It'd help if I knew how the canvas was really going to age over time. Or if they would release a navy twill field bag.
Cut it off
