6 Best Filson Briefcases (Review) In 2021

The Filson Unisex Original Briefcase is our best choice for the best Filson briefcase you can buy. The canvas material gives it versatility and allows it to blend into both professional and casual occasions. This 100% cotton design comes with an oil finish that protects it from the elements and guarantees longevity, which is what you need during your fast-paced life.

As for portability, which is the least you’d expect from any kind of bag or briefcase, it offers dual carry handles and a removable crossbody strap. This is important, as we feel that while crossbody messenger styles have their place, they are not suitable for all occasions. In this instance, it’s beneficial to have options, especially for those at the top of the professional totem pole.

The Filson Original Briefcase Otter Green 1 shares a lot of similarities with our best choice, but it is different enough that we wanted to give it its own time in the spotlight. It consists of leather and cotton construction to deliver a dependable experience for the modern man, while it’s clever and intuitive stitching ensures robustness and toughness whereas other, cheaper options, would falter.

Included are two full length pockets as well as a spacious main compartment for your laptop, tablet, or notepad if you want to keep it old school. If you wanted, there’s probably enough space for everything, so feel free to test that theory for us.

The Filson Padded Laptop Bag is available in two colors: Tan and Otter Green, and offers plenty of benefits for the modern man on-the-go. We’ll start with the exterior, which is water repellent to prevent weather damage and keep your devices safe. There is also a two-way heavy duty brass zipper that keeps every safe and minimizes the chances of it snapping no matter how often you zip and unzip when searching for folders, files, or just your house keys.

The leather pulls offer another layer of protection and help keep everything snug and cozy inside. The carry handles are made using bridle leather, as you’d expect from something of such high and sophisticated quality, and like other options, you can use these carry handles or the removable shoulder strap. Another great feature of this laptop bag is the leather handle button clasp which keeps it secure when on the move while also adding an extra facet of style to the proceedings. There are also several pockets both at the front and sides for easy stowing and storage for your most used items such as a pen and notepad, smartphone, or mid-morning snacks.

The Filson 24 Hour Briefcase is as rugged as it looks and is perfect for long, lonely wanders through the wastelands in search of the meaning of life. The all-weather design makes it suitable for any time of the year, and it’s constructed using water-repellent tin cloth to give you additional peace of mind when battling through tundras, monsoons, and whatever else Mother Nature has to throw at you. It’s more than just a rough ‘n’ ready option, though. You’ll also enjoy convenience with the intuitive internal divider to keep everything organized for easy, straightforward retrieval whenever you need, so you’ll never have to worry about losing your car keys or bus pass ever again.

In addition to the formidable inner pocket, you can also make the most of 2 slotted zipper pockets to keep any valuables safe and sound when on the move from the subway to the office, as well as more interior stow pockets that give you what is arguably too many pockets

If you’re still searching for the best value option of the best Filson briefcases, the Filson Dryden Briefcase is the perfect option for you. The ballistic nylon weave ensures superb durability, so it’s not just a briefcase for the season, but one for the rest of your life, and even beyond if you feel like passing it down to your children.

This ballistic nylon boasts high-abrasion and water resistance, further pushing the idea that this is not a briefcase you can mess with. So far, though, we’ve only focused on how tough it is, and while it is as tough as a cheap steak from the local bowling alley, there is so much more to it than that.  Inside, you’re treated to a spacious main compartment that has plenty of room for just about everything you can think of, and this is without even considering the laptop sleeve located at the back of the briefcase to adc even more storage options to an already comprehensive design.

Our final choice for the best Filson briefcases is also our premium pick, because we love to save the best for last. The Filson Weatherproof Original Briefcase made of leather and is available in Sierra Brown, which gives it a smart, sophisticated, and classy look for the modern professional, but we think University students can get away with using it too, especially if they want to show off to their professors and any other student’s who caught their eye during orientation.

The snap closure delivers super peace of mind while also making it easy to open in a hurry, and the leather means it’s easy to wipe or brush clean should you step in a puddle on the way to the office of class. As you’d expect, there are a variety of pockets to store everything you could possibly need during the week, and with such a convenient organization, you can keep them in there forever with no need to empty or rearrange during the week.
