FILSON DOES NOT MAKE THIS VERSION ANYMORE. Pristine NWT older style and in my opinion thicker twill. THIS IS THE OLDER STYLE THAT DOES NOT HAVE PATCH ON THE OUTSIDE. This one has the padded strap versus the plain leather non padded strap.
With Filson raising the price to $450, finding this bag at $325 made it a worthwhile purchase. The bag came with a new Filson leather strap and tags as described. The Otter Green color is a shade lighter then my Filson Otter Green duffle, but the quality of the fabric is consistent. The snap is a bit weaker than desired, but it holds. No real complaints and I’m happy to own the briefcase for my day to day needs
This is truly a heritage piece. It is built like a tank and can go the distance. I appreciate the lifetime warranty Filson provides. I live by the by ones cry ones motto. You will not be dissatisfied.
