This is the best review I've seen on this bag! Great job!! I have one coming next week & am so excited to start using it so one day it will be as gorgeous as yours! 😊
Thanks Suzy for the kind words. I love this bag (& I don't use the word causally). It has served me very well day in, day out, I hope you enjoy yours. :)
Now like the 5th time i'm watching this video. Masayako you are the best, this is just so calming to watch. Thanks again and please do more, like what has changed in your carry setup, etc.
I bought this from Zeta Leather Goods in Etsy back in 2017. $25. I just checked, looks like this store in no longer in business under Etsy. You may be able to find similar ones in Etsy though. Cheers.
Hi JCD Outdoors, congrats! I hope you enjoy your new 257 as much as I do. Let me know your feedback, pros & cons, after using it for a while? My wallet is the Midori Traveler's notebook (wallet size) in camel color, you can find it here: www.amazon.com/Midori-Travelers-Notebook-Starter-Passport/dp/B01BVJPP0I/ref=sr_1_2?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1491075413&sr=1-2&keywords=midori+traveler%27s+notebook Let me go ahead and put the link up in the description as well. I purchased a separate felt insert from Etsy to house the credit cards and paper bills. Hope you find this info useful. Cheers.
Currently Filson is an amazing USA made product! Please to you and your viewers... Watch the upcoming labels! Especially on clothing! Filson is closing down their factories in USA to make products overseas... So sad! Puerto Rico is not really USA made to me. And for sure Indonesia is definitely not USA made! So if you want a product made by OUR country please watch the labels!
Patina takes time to build. It's the worn in effect from interacting with different fabrics, temperature, etc. It makes it worn in and beautiful in my eyes. Not dirt. Cheers!
Still available out there. For example: Ebay www.ebay.com/itm/FILSON-257-Tan-Rugged-Twill-Brown-Bridle-Leather-Computer-Briefcase-Camera-Bag/274341047881?hash=item3fe0002e49:g:JWYAAOSwO6xem2hY&autorefresh=true
Putting a light in the bag is genius. This never crossed my mind. Thank you
Thank you.
Excellent, down to earth review. Hope you enjoy it for many years to come.
Thanks!

Thanks for the thorough review! As a result I just jumped on one of the last produced since they've been discontinued.
I really enjoy your videos. Thank you.
I'm so glad!

Also Masayako, is that a Midori you're using as a wallet? Please show more of that too!
Yes, good idea. I will probably have time to shoot a video this coming Friday. Stay tuned :)
Yes, it's a Midori wallet.
Very good review Joseph, the best one I've seen of this model! Thank you for all of your detailed observations of this bag!
Thanks James. A complement from a well respected bag expert like yourself made my day!
Really great review. Thank you so much. Trying to decide between this and 258 padded computer bag.
Unless you need the extra space, 257 is my pick. Thanks!
I bought this bag because of your video. Thank you so much!
You will enjoy it. Good times and good memories ahead. :)
Hey man really great review! Best I have seen!
Nice review! What wax product did you use on this bag?
Filson wax.
Hi there, I really enjoy your reviews and perspectives on your gear! Where did you get your awesome leather notebook?
I have a separate video for my leather notebook. Hope you enjoy it.
Do you know what kind of pen holder you have here? Im looking for something similar for my bag, thanks!

Great review, Joe. Thanks.
joseph, great review... just ordered one and mentioned you to the customer service rep..
I love your wallet, what make is it ?
Thanks

thats a great review. my only complaint about this bag is that i found the carry strap to be too thin when its loaded.
The strap of this newer 257 version is substantial enough for heavy items. Not the older version with only 1 layer of leather. Thanks.
Is this the same bags from your 4 year review?
Same bag!
This 257 is no longer sale in the store anymore. Am I right?
This is correct. You can still find them in Amazon or Ebay. Thanks.
Awesome review. Do you have a link for the pencil pouch?

Thank you!
Great!! This is one of the best reviews man. The bag has a great patina :) Have you waxed it?
Yes, waxed it once before.
J Ko wax on, wax off
What color is this briefcase? Is this the tan color or dark brown?
Tan color. ^_^
Where is the light from? Such a good idea man
It's called: "SYCEES LED Tap Light, Battery-Powered, Stick-Anywhere". You can get them from Amazon.
Great review, but I have a dire feeling that Wilson have stopped making the 257 😭
Graham Ormondroyd hi there, I think you can still find it at the bay. It's rare but still obtainable.
Nice review
Can anyone recommend somewhere I can buy a handle to put on my 0256
I think if you contact Filson, they will make one for you for a fee. Thanks.
8:43 who made your notebook cover? More details please.
My journal cover is made by Norman Cahn. You can find Norm's products here: www.etsy.com/listing/487215230/calibre-leuchtturm-1917-notebook-cover

You have no idea what you are talking about Car Zie.
Racist.
does someone think such an "aging" bag would be deemed "dirty" by many?
Patina takes time to build. It's the worn in effect from interacting with different fabrics, temperature, etc. It makes it worn in and beautiful in my eyes. Not dirt. Cheers!
I want to have one 😓😌
