For the most part, airlines (except perhaps Lufthansa or other German-based airlines) aren't too finicky unless your luggage is grossly over-sized or there's a problem. I travel a fair bit and my 22" bag hasn't been a problem on my international flights, though mine are mostly to Asia, though I traveled quite a bit in Europe last year. I don't usually get to fly in premium cabinsVery nice bags. Filson has got a good rolling luggage assortment. It's only too bad that none of their rolling luggage is truly carry-on, except for their now discontinued Small rolling duffle when not full, which I have and like a lot.
It also has got the zipped internal pocket, but not the flap covering the main compartment. I feel it makes it stand out from the other duffles that way, so I don't miss it.
I have returned my (only recently updated) Rolling carry-on bag as I've come to the conclusion that no European airline would accept it as carry-on...Quite an oversight on Filson's part, I feel.
Travelling from Belgium and having considered 3 airlines; Brussels airlines, Ryanair and KLm. For each one of these the rolling carry-on's dimensions exceed the limit.Coming from a guy who just travelled all over Europe with a rolling carry on as a carry on, it fit the requirements of Aegean Air, Jet 2 and Easy Jet without a problem. Size was never an issue, weight was more my concern as most of the EU airlines limit to 10-12kg. Anyways, not sure where you came up with the rolling carry on not being a carry on in Europe as this was not my experience at all. I even measured for each to make sure it was fine so I’m positive on this one.
Ryanair is garbage. Haven't flown KLM in many years and never flown Brussels. I guess I shouldn't be surprised they're on the stricter side of things.Travelling from Belgium and having considered 3 airlines; Brussels airlines, Ryanair and KLm.

I've eventually chosen KLM after taking the Thalys to Amsterdam and used my small rolling duffle, which is smaller than the rolling carry-on.
The small rolling duffle even, did not fit into the overhead compartiment when fully packed, but I was lucky enough to store it hnder the seat.
I only know one of your airlines;easyjet. They have got a good reputation regarding luggage, so it's possible. Nonetheless, Brussels Airlines, KLM and Ryanair are major players and you shouldn't get your rolling carry-on in their airplanes if you check the allowed dimensions.
At a local fishing store today I stumbled across a Filson Tote I’m not familiar with... originally $400 they have it marked down to $225 until tomorrow, then it goes back to $299.
Anyone seen this thing before? I kinda want it... View attachment 1225105
That’s a nice bag at a great price Woods. How does the canvas feel compared to twill? Is it thicker? I’m assuming it’s not waxed/impregnated like the twill, so will age differently.I ended up stopping back by my local store and they ended up marking down the bag further to $170... for that price I couldn't pass it up. I've been carrying it to work for the last week and I absolutely love it. It's got great internal organization, a spacious main compartment, perfect sized water bottle pockets on each side... my only complaint is that it can hold so much that it can become very heavy if I'm not mindful of overfilling it.
I'll post some pictures of the interior when I get a chance.
Has anyone seen any of the new “Mackinaw Red” luggage on the secondary market at a reasonable price yet? I’m considering a small duffle in that color but can’t afford full retail price (and/or don’t want to).

I will let you know how the bag is as soon as I get it......
