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.

And I thought that Brooks (English) bicycle toolbags were a bit dear – and certainly overpriced for ” carrying oil cans” as they advertise :

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.

I’m surprised Duluth Pack doesn’t make one similar. It is exactly the same materials they use in many of their bags. http://duluthpack.com/
