@LewisStonehouse He has been communicating with the guys. What he is saying is that the M he ordered will not work for him, so it will be going back into stock.
Gotcha

Nice! Looks badass, man. Btw I also like what I can see of your bag — what is it? Filson maybe?

Thanks, mate! Yes, it’s my trusty Filson 257. So sad it’s discontinued now. It’s got way more space than the 256 while not being as chunky as the 258 Computer bag.

Ahh cool — thank you! I was actually looking at Filson recently and was wondering if some of the stuff had been changed, and you've answered that question for me. I have a duffel of theirs I've beat to hell — it's about 15 years old, really has done its job with plenty left. I need a good sort of refined/classic messenger. Been hoping to find something I like in leather, but that's turned out tougher than I expected. Who knows, might end up with one of the newer Filson offerings if I can find one I like!

Glad I could help! When I was first looking at an upgrade from the Crumpler Cheesy Disco (great bag btw!) I was using and abusing for 8 years, I was also confused by the different Filson models…
The 256 is a legendary briefcase and if you can live with limited space, it might be a great option for you! It can fit a 15“ MacBook, a few books, pencil case, and/or a light jacket. It’s made for thin things though, so don’t expect to store your chunky lunchbox or a DSLR camera bag in it.
There’s even a (ridiculously expensive, imo) leather version of it,

you may have looked already, but if not I can highly recommend Saddleback Leather, I have the "flight bag" which carries my computer, lunch and a few other things quite easily and looks great as it wears and construction is tank like
