Know before you buy
The briefcase measures 14 inches wide, so it comfortably accommodates most 13-inch laptops. A 15-inch laptop will likely be too wide to fit inside the main compartment.
The rugged twill fabric is treated to repel light rain and moisture, keeping your documents and electronics dry during a commute. However, it is not fully waterproof, so it should not be submerged or exposed to prolonged, heavy downpours.
Yes, the adjustable shoulder strap is detachable, allowing you to carry the bag by the top handle for a more formal look or use the strap for hands-free convenience.
The Filson Original Briefcase is designed with a soft-sided construction. While it is quite robust, it will generally slouch when empty rather than standing upright like a rigid hard-shell case.
The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. It does not cover damage caused by accidents, improper care, or normal wear and tear over time.
