Filson Rugged Twill Original Briefcase Black

FILSON RUGGED TWILL ORIGINAL BRIEFCASE BLACK
created for men who love style and quality

The Filson Rugged Twill Original Briefcase Black is Filsons toughest, most versatile briefcase. This bag is appropriate for everyday use in the field.

When Filson introduced the Original Briefcase in 1994, their mission was clear: use the best materials available to manufacture a briefcase that would live up to Filson's legacy of providing customers with gear that stands up to the rigors of hard use, year after year. More than a quarter-century later, it remains Filson's best-selling bag–a testament to the old-fashioned idea that if a thing is worth doing, it’s worth doing right.

The classic Filson Original Briefcase Black is built with Filsons signature Rugged Twill, an industrial-strength water-repellent fabric that resists wear and abrasion for years of dependable service. Inside is a wide carrying compartment, two full-length open pockets and sewn-on compartments for calculator, business cards, pencils and pens. Narrow pockets on both ends and full-length outer pockets on both sides.

An adjustable Bridle Leather shoulder strap features a sliding shoulder pad for comfort with heavier loads, allows shoulder or cross-body messenger carry, and can be removed when you want to carry it by hand. The heavy-gauge brass zipper is rustproof, virtually indestructible, and reinforced with Bridle Leather. All of this is stitched together with heavy-duty, cotton-wrapped polyester thread, to ensure a briefcase that will provide decades of unfailing durability.

Every design detail of this Original Briefcase was carefully considered–even the ones that aren’t obvious, such as the binding on the interior seams that prevents fraying, and the double-layer bottom for added protection and durability. While its trim design wasn’t intended for carrying large computers, the two interior dividers can accommodate tablets or laptops up to 16". Custom solid brass hardware is sand-cast and debossed exclusively for Filson, because every detail matters.

You won't find more durability in a fabric briefcase. Meets carry-on requirements.

HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS

Filson has been making bags and clothing since 1897. This way they know exactly what they are doing. Filson transforms high quality materials like the legendary Rugged Twill canvas and the best and super strong Bridle Leather into a tough and sturdy briefcase, perfect to protect all your gear in any weather. With so much experience, you can't go wrong with this Filson Original Briefcase.

RUGGED INDUSTRIAL-STRENGTH COTTON TWILL

Designed and woven exclusively for Filson, Rugged Twill is Filsons most durable, hard-wearing luggage fabric. The industrial-strength cotton is tightly woven in a 2-ply x 3-ply twill and lightly waxed for lasting protection against abrasion and wet weather. The paraffin wax gives it a natural water resistance, so your valuables stay dry.

The characteristic of Rugged Twill is that it develops a unique character as the bag ages. As soon as the canvas breaks with use and some spots get more rubbing or stains, the fabric gets its own unique patina. No two bags will age similarly. Unlike other bags where dirt, scuffs and stains can render a bag unappealing or even unusable, with the rugged twill fabric, these will only serve to add character to your bag.

In addition to character, Filson's Rugged Twill bags will be your faithful travel companion for a very long time. They are very durable and abrasion resistant. Some of Filsons customers’ Rugged Twill luggage pieces have travelled over a million miles with nothing more than a few hard-earned scuffs to show for it.

BRIDLE LEATHER: VEGETABLE-TANNED QUALITY LEATHER

Filson has been manufacturing quality leather goods made from Bridle Leather, a premium vegetable-tanned harness leather sourced from the best hides and tanned at the best tanneries in the world.

What is ‘Bridle Leather’? The name refers to the original purpose and use of the leather which was for straps on a horse’s headpiece and reins. As a result, the product name is synonymous with; quality, value and durability. After all, it was originally intended to be attached to a horse so it had to be comfortable on the animal’s skin, while being strong and durable as the rider’s life depended on it not failing. The best Bridle Leather should be smooth to the touch and flexible to handle.

Bridle Leather is one of the finest leathers and it is known for its beauty, strength and longevity. Natural, environmentally friendly, unparalleled. Bridle leather is very much an artisan product needing expert craftsmanship skills to produce it. Each piece is still hand finished, piece by piece, using the same techniques as it would have been hundreds of years ago. This is one of the key reasons that contributes to its beauty and special qualities. The result? Durable leather with rich patinas that only get better as the leather ages.
