        Guys with Filson bags: are they really worth it?
        I've been looking at this new medium sized duffle from Filson and I'm trying to decide if it's worth the asking price.
        I saw it in person today and it was a bit cheaper than online, and figured I might bite the bullet and buy it soon.
        Looks like it would be the ideal size for a few days on the road and the quality felt pretty nice to boot.

        I have 5 or 6 Filson bags from that line. Around 20 years old, been all over the world. They are dirty, but in perfect condition otherwise. Super solid construction and components.
        That is a big bag.

        edit - mine have a little more metal, but same color duck and leather.

          I've been looking at this new medium sized duffle from Filson …

          I have / had 2 Field Bags and I'm very satisfied with the quality and the classic look. (+ the excellent evo options over the years)
          … currently, I'm looking for a Duffle Bag too.

              Thanks for the feedback guys, sounds like Filson bags stand up to some wear and tear.
              Just trying to decide on the small or medium duffle at the moment. Small might be a bit more reasonable.

                I have a Large Travel bag (discontinued now, http://www.ebags.com/product/filson/large-travel-bag/82969) that I used for a few years and you wouldn't know it. The bags will definitely take the abuse. Only issue for me is the weight of the bag (sacrilege on the IH forum I know [emoji3]) as I much prefer a much lighter duffle bag for my travels now.

                          Porter Yoshida 70th anniversary tiger camo canvas shoulder bag.

                          Porter are typically known from making their bags out bonded nylon (i.e. Their Tanker series).

                          Apparently when they started out they made bags out of canvas.  So for their 70th anniversary they made these tiger camo bags from cotton canvas, as opposed to their typical nylon.  It also features a rather beautiful Waldes zipper and branded Permex snaps.

                          The Porter stuff is typically excellent crafted and this one is no exception.  It was bastard hard to get hold of for a reasonable price as it was released in 2006/07 and, as I understand it, they didn't sell this model outside Japan.

                          I didn't like the strap it came with though (chocolate brown canvas, not my thing), so I made a custom strap for it (which I also plan to use with my Goruck duffle).  Further details on the strap in the craft thread.

                                No, still in production.

                                I really dig the non-nylon Porter stuff. Did you see Carryology article on Yoshida Porter. Good read: http://www.carryology.com/bags/the-fabled-craftsmen-of-yoshida-co/

                                      Funny you mention Saddleback, my dad just was mentioning a guy he works with in Australia had one of their bags and he was really impressed with it. Just out of character for him as he's not big on stuff like that outside of watches!

                                            Carryology have posted a feature on the Bōle Tannery. If you're into craftsmanship, lifetime gear, and all that sort of thing, then you should take a read.

                                            I've long lusted after one of their Prince Rucksacks. They're currently €5000, which explains why I don't have one.
