Title change: This is my classic Filson 240 small carry on Review. This is not the medium as Ioriginally thought. I enjoy using it for my weekend adventures.
I just wanted to say that I really like your video and gave me a lot of inspirations. Luckily I managed to get a nice used Filson 240 and I hope I can keep on using it and make it age nicely as yours. Cheers!
This is the Filson 240 Small Carry-on. You can also find some references from FilsonFan fan site as well. Cheers! filsonfan.com/2012/11/05/review-filson-240-carry-on-bag-small/
The journal is made our of Horween leather. The craftsman is Norm Cahn. The shop is: NormCahnLeatherworks. You will see lots of notebook cover to choose from there. See my response of your question in the other video for the waxed canvas pouch. Cheers.
WOW, what a beauty! It looks as though the bag has been waxed a number of times. Am I right? Thanks for the review, it has helped me to finally decide on this color. Cheers.
Dude, you don’t have a Filson Field Bag. Yours is the Filson SMALL CARRY-ON. They were two different bags. The Small Carry-on size is 15" W x 11 1/2" H x 5" D and comes with a zipper closure, as you have. I believe they’re discontinued. The Medium Field Bag size is 14" W x 11" H x 5" D and has the oval opening. I can tell that yours is older, because of the shoulder strap padding. New ones are different I’ve had many Filson bags and products, including both of these. My daughter currently uses my FIELD for university!
Hi, great review! Is this the same tan color that's available on their newer bags? Yours looks so much better colorwise... is that because it was waxed? I need to know how to make mine look more like this!
Yes, it's the waxed canvas Tan color that's available today. I did not wax this bag since I owned it. I believe the previous owner might have. Waxing it improves water resistant.
I watched your Filson 257 update and understand why you like that bag so much. But I gotta say, it looks like you found this bag in a dumpster. Whatever you paid was too much.
This is without a doubt one of the most beautiful examples of patina on a bag I’ve ever seen. Great find.
Wow, thank you!
That is one gorgeous piece. Not a bag, a piece of art.
Love your Filson bag reviews. Very informative & detailed. You & Chase Reeves are the best Filson reviewers on RUclips.
Thanks Matt.
Wear holes are actually good, as they provide ventilation.
Joseph that's the best looking Filson bag I've ever seen! I've never seen the Medium Field Bag with the zipper, so nice!
Thanks James. It's been an awesome daily carry bag.

Amazing! Thanks for the kind words. Hope you enjoy yours too!
One of the most beautiful bag I've seen! Thanks for sharing!
Woww this is the most beautiful Filson bag I've seen! Great review!!!

Hi Simon, I believed it's been waxed by previous owner. I didn't wax it myself yet.

Do you still use this bag? I see you have many more bags also.
I use it on a weekly basis. I swap between a messenger bag and this Filson nowadays depend on the stuff I need to carry with me.
Great video still use the bag?
Yes, still using it :)
beautiful bag as is!
It really is! I love it. It's a keeper.
Any chance of an update video?
Will do. When my work schedule is under control.
Btw, does this bag have a key leash? I have the same one I got from ebay but it didnt come with a leash.
It has a small leash inside the bag.
Joseph, is it in the outside pocket? We have the same bag actually. Mine doesnt have.
Apology. I was confused. Checked again today, there's no leash anywhere in the bag.
Can I ask what color this is? I'm colorblind and can't tell. Thanks
This one is in tan color. Thanks.
Joseph Ko Thank you! 👍
Better than Saddleback Indiana gear bag!?
Personally, I don't like Saddleback Indiana bag because of its style and aesthetic.
Much better. I've had both but, Filson's quality now is not what it used to be back then.
Great bag
Awesome vids. Thanks for sharing :-)
Really really beautiful
Thank you so much 😊

Haha! True. I like old stuff.
