My 24hr tin cloth briefcase is one of my favorite possessions. I generally only travel with one bag and this bag does the trick unless I’m going to be gone for several weeks. It’s also my every day carry bag and it’s perfect for that use for me since I am bike and transit only and it’s nice to have some extra space in case I need to carry something home or grab some small amount of groceries on the way home. I don’t anticipate ever needing another bag unless it gets lost or stolen …*knocks on wood*

My 258 ‘Padded Computer Bag’ has travelled on many trips, whether as a carry-on to the Caribbean, or a weekend bag. I removed the inner divider, and have enough room. Lots of positive comments at the airport. (Wife uses a matching Filson zip tote) Owned for about a decade. No probs. Love it. Great reviews! Thanks

Great video! The 24h seems like a sweet spot.

Nice beard bro. Keep on rockin it. Like the bags as well lol

I really like the look of that 24hr! I have been keeping my eye out for an olive 48hr, but I think that might be too big after seeing this. Thanks for the comparison

@carryology just so that you’re aware those bags are all using YKK zippers, their branding is not in their typical location. On these zippers the YKK is stamped on the profile (side) of the looped or “bridge” part of zipper head.

literally my only question was will a 16 Mac fit in them lol. Thanks so much for taking the time to make these videos

hello cology, thank you for this stream - all 3 bags are great. the colors were nice - think would like the 1st one for smaller one for heading to work. elle for handle

I love my black 257 (256 was too small for me) and I am always hunting for a deal on a 24 or 48 hour bag. Nice reviews.

Nice job! I've purchased both original briefcase and 24 hr as the Computer Bag was too big for my needs. I found the 24 hr is perfect for underseat when I fly and original briefcase is perfect size for daily commute to work. Love the keychain strap inside!

Thank you for this video. You influenced my decision of which bag to buy since I have been so indecisive. I like big bags and I cannot lie.

Really love my 24-Hr and use it everyday as my actual briefcase, but still love and use the old 258 a lot!

I use one of their nylon bags currently and love it but I am incredibly torn between the original and 24.

Great super well made video! I own an old "original briefcase" and a newer "field bag". They have both served me well. It seems like many bags are "made in Vietnam" these days.

The 24 hr is the only bag with a pass-through which makes it my choice for travel

Surprised, no mention of the side pockets. I actually snagged an interesting 256 in tin fabric from Brooks Brothers on discontinued w tartan inner cotton lining a few years ago. It didn't have the leather surround of the top zipper though - which does add support and structure. And the tin is already less stiff and thus holds its shape less to begin with. Sweet bag though in this incarnation. Also got the computer bag in black and have gotten so much use out of it; holds a ton. I fit a 17 In in the padded computer slot comfortably. The weight is noticeable when packed but not that bad; a big bag filled is gonna be heavier by nature. Makes up for it on sheer holding capacity. Drapes and carries quite nicely though when partly loaded. That was one of the great discontinued sales btw, also picked up several Filson duffles on the cheap. Sad to see Brooks aren't carrying Filson any more, especially for the clearance sales part lol. It was an interesting collab though with unique editions.

Because of the name, I never really considered the computer bag. But actually, they probably called it that way back when laptops were really big and heavy still. I can now see a use for it.

Want to get a one strap bag like this for my wife for her college graduation gift. She’ll be an elementary school teacher next year. Something she can use for a laptop, papers, books and her daily lunch and 20oz coffee thermos. Will the 256 hold all this? Want it to be big enough but not too big. She’ll load it full no matter the size!

The glass breaking sound got me 😂 original gets my vote!

I’ve had the original for about a decade and I love it. That passthrough and the two pockets makes the 24h seem superior though. It’s odd that it’s cheaper when it appears to be the deluxe product. Side note: why did Filson discontinue the rolling luggage bags?

Filson price increase makes them not worth it anymore. The original briefcase went from $325 to $495 (2023).

I have over 20 bags and my favorite is the 24 hour tin cloth. I did switch to a leather strap (lg leather shoulder strap), but the cloth one was fine.

I have the 48-hour duffle which is just a bit bigger than the 24-hour briefcase. Just doesn’t have a computer pocket which sucks. Love everything Filson that’s Made in the USA.

Why doesnt it fall down? It still retains its structure even though the bag is empty

been used 256, 257, 258, 232 and rucksack....the most suitable for me is 257....

Can you fit a lunch box in the padded computer bag?

Can I borrow the 13L?

Would love to buy the 24 hour but it's been on backorder for months. Filson having production problems?

I wish there was a dislike button because now I'm trying to think of which one to buy...

I have a few "made in the USA" Filson bags but we have to be honest and accurate here. It should be classified as assembled or sewn in the USA. The fabric and leather are from England. That is the majority of the material costs of these bags. Is is really made in the USA? No, did a US mill make the fabric No, did a US tannery produced the leather? No, did cows raised in America by an American "farm" contributed their skins? No, was the supply chain involved in the weaving of the fabric, the feeding of the cows, the tanning of the leather located in the US? No. How were these "made in the USA" bags made? Filson imported the fabric and leather from England and the last step of assembly was i the US. Does this justify the high cost and the chest thumping patriotism of "Made in America". We should have truth in marketing. These bags are "assembled in the USA". I own leather bags where the cow or bison was raised in the US, the skins were tanned by American tannery and the bags were cut and sewn in the US with workers paid a living wage. Those bags I would consider truly "Made in America".

wonder how you eat? must be very dirty mess afterwards ...
