Made with durable Bridle Leather and Rugged Twill and lined with waterproof nylon.

Our Rugged Twill Travel Kit embodies the philosophy that’s guided Filson for 125 years: Manufacture uncompromising products using the best available materials and construction. Products that withstand the rigors of daily use for years on end, that are handed down rather than tossed out. Introduced more than two decades ago, this traditional tote bag remains a testament to the idea that if a thing is worth doing, it’s worth doing right.

Rather than common canvas, Rugged Twill was chosen for its exceptional abrasion resistance. This industrial-strength fabric comes from Britain’s oldest, most storied mills, and is lightly waxed for water and stain resistance. The Bridle Leather used to reinforce the heavy-gauge zipper is strong and durable enough for horse tack. It’s been slowly vegetable-tanned over several weeks in natural plant-based solutions that transform top-grade cowhides into sturdy, supple, and lustrous leather that provides decades of service.

Construction details were carefully considered, even those that are not obvious, such as the waterproof coated nylon that lines the interior for added protection in case of leaking contents. Both the interior and exterior sides feature full-width stow pockets. Bridle Leather grab handle.
