How do I clean Rugged Twill luggage
Wipe or brush away surface soil or buildup with a damp cloth or scrub brush. If
necessary, use cold water to loosen up any caked mud or dirt.
We advise against spot cleaning with soap and water, as it may result in a loss
of water repellency or color in that spot. If it is absolutely necessary to spot
clean Rugged Twill, you may need to re-wax that spot to restore the water
repellency after it dries.
DO NOT professionally dry clean Rugged Twill. Dry cleaning solutions destroy the
Oil Finish, effectively turning Oil Finish fabrics into Dry Finish fabrics. If
Rugged Twill is dry cleaned, it will need to be re-waxed to restore its water
repellency.
DO NOT machine wash Rugged Twill. Machine washing breaks down the Oil Finish,
and sometimes causes the fabric to shrink. Most importantly, machine washing
will not soften Rugged Twill. In fact, it may make the fabric stiffer than
before.
Do I need to re-wax my Rugged Twill luggage?
You shouldn`t need to re-wax your Rugged Twill luggage right away. It is ready
to use. However, over time, and with regular use, the Oil Finish water
repellency may weaken, especially in areas of high wear or repeated flexing. One
can of our Style 1-A Original Oil Finish Wax is enough to touch up isolated
areas of high wear or flexing, but re-waxing an entire piece of luggage usually
requires several cans of wax. See Style 1 and 1-A for detailed instructions.
Genuine Bridle Leather: Clean with saddle soap. Some customers apply our Style
2-A Boot Oil Finish to keep leather moisturized. See care instructions for
Genuine Bridle Leather.
Clean away surface soil or buildup by wiping with a damp cloth, or scrubbing
with a brush, using warm water to loosen up any caked mud or dirt if necessary.
How do I clean and care for Genuine Bridle Leather?
Use saddle soap to clean, soften, and preserve bridle leather. Saddle soap is
designed specifically to care for bridle leather, and is usually available where
shoe care products are sold. Follow the instructions on the container.
DO NOT professionally dry clean or machine wash. The dyes can bleed, or the
leather can dry out, which can cause cracking or splitting.
My special wide screen laptop computer is 17" wide. Will it fit into the Style
258?
There are two specialized pockets inside the main compartment of the Style 258
Padded Laptop Bag that are designed to fit a standard laptop computer snugly and
prevent it from moving around in the main compartment. Both of these pockets are
only 14" wide and won`t come close to fitting a wide screen 17" laptop.
However, the main compartment of our Style 258 Padded Laptop Bag is 16 " at its
widest point. You can fit your 17" laptop inside the main compartment, but it
would be a tight fit, and you risk scratching the ends of the laptop against the
brass zipper when you insert and remove the laptop from the bag.
To summarize, the bag is not designed to accommodate a 17" wide laptop.
Is Filson luggage waterproof?
"Oil Finish" is a paraffin-based treatment that makes our cotton fabrics
extremely water repellent, although not completely waterproof. We almost never
hear complaints of water getting through our luggage.
We are careful not to make the Oil Finish treatment too heavy on our luggage, to
prevent it from staining the contents of the luggage. Because our Rugged Twill
is so heavy and thick, we can go "light" on the Oil Finish, and still see
superior water repellency.
How tough is Filson luggage?
Our Rugged Twill weighs 22 oz. per yard. This is much heavier than any fabric
that we use to make garments. In fact, it is much heavier than most fabrics used
to make luggage today. Its extreme weight and twill weave make our Rugged Twill
extremely abrasion resistant.
3 ply by 2 ply fabrics are more durable than 2 ply by 2 ply fabrics because the
yarns woven in one direction are made from three yarns that are spun together to
create one thicker, stronger yarn.
Rugged Twill is our most durable fabric because it is woven from the heaviest 3
ply by 2 ply yarns. (The Oil Finish treatment makes this fabric more durable,
too.)
