Hi guys! I guess this bag might interest you (3 available) : I made it out of some rare 33.14 oz ITALIAN selvedge denim (BERTO mills, google it) the thickest ever produced and some Italian leather; the details are made of stainless steel.
IMPORTANT: the Selvedge is NOT the CHINESE one, this is the ITALIAN one.
It weights 2,5kg
Height full extension 76 cm
Height normally loaded 66 cm
Diameter 36 cm

Price 179€ + shipping costs
Thanks a lot !

I bought a duffle from you a few years back on ebay. I remember you had a rucksack back then. Would love to have a smaller duffle in leather about 1/3 of the size of this one for everyday use.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion...yes I had rucksacks as well ... but for now there are just 3 Sailors (the rope one) and 3 Aviators (the zipper one) left ..I hope you enjoyed the bag (if you have any picture on how it aged you are welcome to post it here)...this is mine

 

[nioblu]

For reference...Mister Freedom is always an inspiration

I sell the Zippered one for 145 USD shipped to the US or for 90 € + shipping costs

If you are still interested in a smaller bag please DM me .. I might have something for you...

This is how this fabric and this leather age

and this is why I use stainless steel: it's more expensive but it doesn't rust and it doesn't brake

Having been a fan of Filson products for years and their fusion of canvas and Leather I was intrigued at these offerings. I took the plunge and purchased the over the sholder duffel and I have to say I"m blown away !! The quality and robustness of construction is something that will truly last a lifetime and is every bit a welcome addition to even the most discerning of individuals. The sheer weight of the denim is simply unreal. It has a toughness to it reminiscent of heavyweight duck canvas yet equally pliable, and the usage of natural Leather and stainless hardware is a nice aesthetic choice that compliments the piece nicely. Overall I'm quite pleased and happy with my purchase and will be keeping my eyes open for future releases. Not trying to shill or sell for this artisan, but I thought sharing a very positive experience is merited.
