    I've owned the 257 (medium size) briefcase in olive for 14 months now and I love it, and carry it almost daily. It has only recently just started to soften up and show some wear. I find the amount of interior pockets to be perfect for all my small notebooks, pens, earbuds, business cards, knife, multitool, flashlights etc. they are all open on top, no fasteners or zippers, but I don't have problems with things falling out. I also put a strip of thin foam padding on the bottom of the computer slot which makes a huge difference on protecting it from the ground. I  shortened my strap a bit so I can wear cross body messenger style, my preferred carry method. My local cobbler trimmed to size and riveted for a few bucks, and now it sits on the small of my back instead of bouncing off my backside. I use it daily as my work briefcase, and have done a few overnight flights with some spare clothes and toiletry kit, it's tight but you can load it up if you need to! I'd say you can't go wrong with the classic line of 22oz rugged twill baggage … the newer stuff I can't really comment on ...

      That's what I thought too. Now I just need to hold out, I was thinking of getting it as Christmas present. But the Lord knows I'm not patient…

              ^Which one? I've been eyeing a Medium Duffle (~75L) to go with my discontinued Large Travel Bag (~40L).

                I came > < close to buying the briefcase this past weekend at this old camping goods store I frequent in Quincy Ill. My wife promises me that if it's still there in November when we go back to the country I can buy it. HD, make sure you put some conditioner on your straps. The leather can be brittle when it dries which has caused my old rucksack to crack on one of the straps.

                          Wish the sleeves were 2"-3" longer…but other than that I love the jacket. Great detail with wearing for one day even...can't wait to see the evo. I love waxed cotton.

                            Looks great!  Glad you went for the waxed - the dry finish short cruiser is pretty weak.

                                        ^ That is just the regular ruck…  http://www.filson.com/luggage-bags/backpacks-rucksacks/rucksack.html
                                        And is a pretty good deal considering it is BNWT.

                                        But I'm not really sure theres much difference between the Vans version and the standard ruck.  Maybe slightly taller and a bit different shade of tan?

                                          Visited the Filson store in London yesterday and left with this wonderful jacket:

                                          Although I was originally quite set on a Mack cruiser (their flagship piece), I quickly shifted to the work jacket when I saw it.
                                          Same material (24oz Mackinaw wool) but the pure lines & understated ultra-classic design immediately won me over.
                                          A true work jacket like in the old days and superbly built…! This looks like what a mechanic would have been wearing several decades ago..
                                          Very comfy, reassuringly warm and equally at ease over a T-Shirt or an UHF.
                                          Very happy with it.
                                          More pics soon.......
