I was driving by a random garage/road side sale in Vermont last weekend and picked up a brand new (time capsule sealed quality) YKK 2005 production Filson 256 Tan Briefcase for dirt cheap (seller had no idea what he had). The YKK bag's quality is way better than the current and the post 2010s Filson bags I have. It is shocking that even the tan color of the canvas looks more Filson-ish than the current Filson bags.



I've been told by Filson collectors, who have been in the business of selling and collecting for decades, that in terms of quality and re-sale worth/value this is the order to go by: Talon Zipper - pre 2000s > YKK Zippers - early 2000s > Filson Logo Zippers - 2008ish to current day. From my collection I can verify the YKK bag is way better in canvas, stitch and leather quality. It even seems more waterproof than the newer Filson bags.
