The colors are my favorite, the space is adequate and it fits well into my daily routine. As an Architect, I haven't carried a briefcase for about a decade and figured it was about time to start again. Not enough hands.
Great Bag

This is great bag for someone who is looking for style, function, and not like all the others. This Filson bag comes with the quality you would expect from this great name. I carry my laptop and iPad in mine with room for a note book. The small pouches on the front carry my charging cables and other small items. I purchased the green and love the brown leather handles and high quality zippers. This a great starter Filson bag for those who are looking to start using their bags.
