No Matter Where the Job Takes You
It takes specialized expertise and machinery to manufacture fabric as tightly woven as our Rugged Twill.
Canvas Briefcases & Messenger Bags
Are Canvas Messenger Bags Water Resistant?
The wax treatment of Filson Rugged Twill and Waxed Canvas briefcases makes them highly water-resistant. Waxing cotton is a time-proven method of making the fabric turn away water. Tin Cloth briefcases can be rewaxed time and again to maintain their weatherproof properties.
How Do You Care For a Canvas Briefcase?
Filson briefcases should not be washed, as detergents will strip the wax from the fabric and reduce its water resistance. Simply brush or wipe off dirt, and let the waxed cotton develop its unique character and patina. Leather straps and handles should be treated with leather conditioner or wax annually to keep them from drying out.
