As I mentioned, the Filson 257 was a Christmas gift from Mrs. Red Clay Soul. After putting it to use, I can say I am very impressed. I’m looking forward to putting some miles on it.
Highly recommended. This will be added as soon as it becomes available from J. Press (est. March ’11):
Ha, very nice. I really like that luggage tag too.
You dawg! I'm jealous!
It will outlast you and your son will be hauling stuff around in it when he is your age!
Looks good. I'm loving my new 258 as well.
Do you find the 257 being just the right size for your everyday use? I cant decide between the 257 and 258…
@Brandon – I think the 257 is perfect. A friend of mine at work has the 258, and it is big. He does a lot of traveling, so it meets his needs, but IMHO, too big for everyday use.
Nice 257!! I’m also looking to buy a Filson 257 for every day use to work. I need something that can fit my 15′ laptop in it, so I have to pass 256 and size up to the 257. Great photos!
