Something about the Filson twill tool bag screams out to me, although I’m not yet sure if it’s the sexy clean design or $245 price tag. This USA-made bag features a spacious interior with 4 full-length pockets and rearrangeable inner panels, and it’s also got 4-full length pockets on the outside. It’s no Veto Pro Pac, but it sure does look better.
The utility bag is made from 22-oz 100% cotton oil finish twill with 100% genuine bridle leather, and is sized at 15″W x 8″H x 6-1/2″D. A double layer bottom, 7″ handles, leather straps, and brass fittings complete the package.

I have to say, the Filson Twill Utility Bag does look reasonably rugged. One review on Filson’s site complains at the lack of a zippered closure, but there are plenty of users who prefer the open form factor.

But this Filson bag seems over-the-top for its intended purpose – but then again Ferragamo and others make some wonderful bags that are way beyond utilitarian and priced way beyond as well.
