For the love of Filson

Filson Rugged Twill and Bridle Leather
The toughest luggage you'll ever own

Nearly indestructible, Filson luggage is built to withstand continual use on the move under the most arduous conditions.

Our Rugged Twill is an industrial weight 22 oz. per yard. Densely woven for superior strength and long lasting toughness. Before assembly, this fabric is soaked in our special paraffin based wax, making it highly water repellent. The fittings are just as tough -- brass zippers and padlocks to resist corrosion in fresh or salt water and full-grain vegetable-tanned bridle leather from the strongest part of the hide.

Meticulously made at our factory in Seattle, Washington, the quality of our luggage is unsurpassed. Each piece is made to last a lifetime. Clean by wiping or brushing only--gains character with use.

Our duffle bag will carry a 1968 1500 c.c. Single Port Volkswagen engine. Will yours?

How tough is a Filson Rugged Twill bag? To find out, we loaded a 1968 1500 c.c. Single Port Volkswagen engine in our Extra Large Duffle, and hoisted the bag and engine six feet in the air. The duffle and the engine both survived. Safety warning: this Volkswagen engine weighs 230 pounds. If you choose to try this experiment at home (which we don't recommend), please use appropriate safety equipment to avoid risk of injury (to yourself -- you won't hurt the bag.)

I truly love my bag, and I feel it'll last me a lifetime. Shoutouts to Urban Outfitters for their collaboration and supply of Filson products. Andrew, you know what I must ask of you...
