Description
The Original Briefcase has been Filson’s best-selling bag since its introduction in 1994, a reflection of the brand’s commitment to building gear that lasts a lifetime. Made from industrial-strength Rugged Twill, premium Italian cow leather, and solid brass hardware, it is designed to withstand the rigours of constant travel and daily use. Customers have logged over a million miles with theirs, proving its reputation for unfailing durability.
Rugged Twill is a 2-ply by 3-ply cotton twill that resists abrasion and is lightly waxed to keep contents dry. The leather handles and removable 46"-long strap with sliding pad are cut and finished from vegetable-tanned Italian cowhide, hot-stuffed with tallows and waxes for flexibility and strength. A rustproof heavy-gauge brass zipper, reinforced with leather, secures the main compartment. Inside, bound seams prevent fraying, and dividers provide space for tablets or smaller laptops, with dedicated slots for pens, cards, and tools. A double-layer bottom enhances longevity, while two external pockets and compact dimensions ensure carry-on compatibility. Every detail, from custom sand-cast brass hardware to reinforced stitching, reflects Filson’s philosophy that if something is worth doing, it’s worth doing right.

Features
Filson.
Born in 1850, C. C. Filson inherited his father's pioneer spirit and love of the outdoors. After homesteading in Nebraska and roaming the country as a railroad conductor, he moved to the small city of Seattle, Washington in the 1890s. Filson's timing couldn't have been better. By 1897, the Great Klondike Gold Rush was on, and thousands of fortune hunters were stampeding into Seattle, headed north. Armed with a strong work ethic, a reputation for honesty and several years' experience outfitting Pacific Northwest settlers and prospectors, C. C. Filson was ready to stake his claim to fame.
Filson continued to make his goods from the best materials obtainable, and guaranteed every piece of merchandise. If he didn't stock an item a customer needed, he custom-made it for him. Filson's name became synonymous with reliability, satisfaction and honest values. By the 1960s, Filson's reputation as the premier outfitter for outdoorsmen had spread around the globe. In addition to being stocked by retailers of quality outdoor wear, Filson garments were being ordered by mail from places as far away as Greenland.
All sizing information is for guide purposes only.
Where possible we provide individual product size guides. If these aren't
available we provide a generic brand size guide. Individual garments may
differ from these measurements and we cannot guarantee the item you receive
will match these measurements exactly.
Many brands also have a level of tolerance in size differences
between the same item - this is usually 0.5 inches.
If no size guide is shown below, it means there is not one available at
present for this item and it will be added if/when it becomes available.
