    Bad experience with custom hide

    I'm afraid I can't afford to just ditch a $280 bag. And when it works, it's an attractive and functional. Custom Hide used to have a reputation for excellent customer service. My first two interactions with them were very good. Has something changed? Or have a few people had bad luck (seeing as...

    Bad experience with custom hide

    I'm not sure I should pile on, but this happened today, I came found this thread, and I feel the need to share. I bought a Custom Hide Scholar with pockets about a year and a half ago. That went smoothly, and I was very happy with the bag. However, just a month or two later, one attachment for...

    Horsehide leather briefcase from mw-traveler: comments?

    I'm a bit nervous, upon close inspection of their website, I noticed that they've changed their design such that the shoulder strap now attaches to the top of the bag- as near as i can tell 99% of flap over bags seem to attach at various difference points on the sides of the bags... The...

    In case anyone hasn't noticed, Filson is running a summer sale from their website. Does anyone have an opinion on their shelter cloth bomber jacket?

    Official Filson Thread - Clothing/Bags Etc

    just fyi, filson.com just put a some stuff on discount, so might be worth taking a look (especially if you want this stuff for hunting/shooting). One of the sale items is a lined oil finish timberline jacket. It looks like it might a useful spring/fall jacket. Does anyone have an opinion on it...

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Underselling is a short-sided approach to retail. Filson knows this...so do the big guys (Bloomingdales) and they wont carry stuff they can't make a proffit from. There is only so much floor/shelf space... Could you explain a little more fully? I suppose there is logic, but I still don't...

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    If Filson pitched a fit at Crane's for offering too big a discount, it only seems fair that they do the same to Sportco. I don't know if this is the place to ask, but why does Filson care? If places like Crane's and Sportco can offer a deeper discount, they move more goods, and Filson makes...

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Neat trick with the eBags price match. I tried it with a Filson wallet I just ordered. I sent the request last night, and this morning I got an email saying they were going to refund me the difference. Cool. I already have the 30% cash back pending in my Bing account. For those who tried this...

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    I noticed the Filson exclusion too. Nevertheless I took a chance and placed an order this afternoon for a Filson wallet. I've already gotten an email notification from Bing, and my cashback account shows the 30% pending. eBags has a generous return policy and pays for return shipping, so I...

    An Asymmetrical Custom Hide Briefcase?

    Thanks to lurking on this forum, I ordered a Custom Hide briefcase, the Scholar with pockets. Overall, it seems quite nice, but there seems to be a problem with the shoulder strap. The briefcase has two main compartments, and two gussets. On one side the shoulder strap attachment is attached to...
