FAQs

What are the dimensions of the Filson Original Briefcase?

The dimensions are approximately 11" H x 15" W x 4" D. These can vary slightly with use.

Is the briefcase suitable for carrying a laptop?

Yes, the spacious interior can accommodate most 13-inch and 15-inch laptops, along with necessary accessories. It's advisable to use a laptop sleeve for added protection.

How do I clean the Rugged Twill fabric?

Wipe the fabric with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry. Avoid using harsh chemicals or detergents, as they can compromise the water-repellent properties.

Can the shoulder strap be removed?

Yes, the Bridle Leather shoulder strap is fully adjustable and detachable, allowing you to carry the briefcase by the top handles if preferred.

Does the briefcase have internal organization pockets?

Yes, the large interior compartment includes dividers and several pockets to help organize your essentials like pens, phone, and small documents.

What is the warranty on this briefcase?

Filson offers a lifetime guarantee on their products against defects in materials and workmanship. For specific details, please refer to the Filson website or their customer service.

Is the blue color fade-resistant?

While the Rugged Twill is durable, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause colors to fade over time. Storing the briefcase away from direct light will help preserve its original color.

Troubleshooting

Strap adjustment is stiff.

The Bridle Leather strap may be stiff when new. Work the buckle back and forth gently to loosen it. Applying a small amount of leather conditioner to the buckle area can help over time.

Fabric feels stiff or has minor creases.

This is normal for Rugged Twill. The fabric will soften and develop a unique patina with use. Minor creases will naturally lessen over time as the bag conforms to its contents and usage.

Zipper is difficult to operate.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. A small amount of wax (like beeswax) can be applied to the zipper teeth to improve smoothness.

Water spots or discoloration on leather.

This can occur if the leather gets wet. Allow it to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, apply a leather conditioner to restore moisture and color. For persistent marks, consult a leather care specialist.

The spacious interior can accommodate most standard 13-inch and 15-inch laptops, along with notebooks, tablets, and essential documents. Internal dividers help keep items separate.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the Rugged Twill exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents, as they can damage the fabric's water-repellent finish. Allow to air dry completely.
  • Leather Care: The Bridle Leather strap and handles should be treated periodically with a quality leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent drying or cracking. Wipe leather with a dry cloth to remove surface dirt.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the briefcase in a cool, dry place, preferably with some stuffing to help maintain its shape. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade the fabric and dry out the leather.
