Rugged Twill Open Tote Bag

This dependable bag remains a testament to the idea that if a thing is worth doing, it’s worth doing right.

The classic tote is often considered the most versatile style of bag for daily carry. Ours is made with industrial-strength fabric from England’s historic British Millerain. This fabric has a tear strength tested to exceed 1,400 pounds, and is dry-waxed for water resistance. The handles are made from Bridle Leather strong enough for use as horse tack and are long enough for hand or shoulder carry. This exceptional leather has been slowly vegetable-tanned in natural plant-based solutions that transform thick cowhides into sturdy, supple leather that molds to the shape of your hand over years of use.

Construction details were carefully considered, such as the Tin Cloth binding on interior seams and sand-cast solid brass hardware custom-debossed for Filson. The double-layer base adds water resistance, durability, and structure that aids loading. A stow pocket covers each exterior side panel.
