Yes. In a perfect world I’d probably keep it. But I don’t like having too much stuff, especially if it’s not going to get used often. Circumstances change too - the 48 was an attempt as a “one bag” solution for 1-2 night biz trips. I don’t do those at the moment, but I do have 3-5 day trips so need more space. I fear too that I’m sliding toward classic Filson more and more. All my bags are now part of the early / original line up, and all twill, excepting the tin cloth large tote.
And just to shift the blame - this is @TinMan3 and @soltrane fault!
I am the same way - I don’t like keeping stuff I never use. Having said that, I find if I wait long enough, there will come a travel scenario that uses every Filson bag eventually. And part of the fun is trying to decide on which bag to use when I am packing.
Regarding new vs old, I am fine as long as it’s twill. I prefer the leather on the vintage bags, but I am not against picking up a new twill bag at a good price - like the Ranger.
