Care
 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.

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.)

My new Filson luggage is very heavy and stiff. Is there anything I can do to soften it?
Rugged Twill is stiff at first, because of its extreme weight, and because of the Oil Finish process that makes it so water repellent. We have found that the only way to break in Rugged Twill is to use it as much as possible.
There are no shortcuts to softening Rugged Twill--throwing it in the dryer will only last while the fabric is hot, and washing it may actually make it even more stiff than before.
Even when supple and broken in, Rugged Twill can stiffen up in freezing weather.

My new Filson bag does not match my other Filson luggage. Can I exchange it for another piece that matches my other luggage?
Each dye lot accepts dyes to a different degree, depending on fiber variations, harvest time, and processing. We feel that the difference you are seeing is an acceptable color range for our luggage. We can attempt to exchange your new bag for another one that matches your other luggage, but we cannot guarantee that the luggage we have in stock will match your other luggage exactly.

I just picked up my Filson bag from the baggage claim at the airport, and it has black grease marks and stains from the baggage handling. How can I clean them off?
We like to say that our luggage "gains character with use." This is our way of saying that it is normal for Rugged Twill to pick up marks and stains, especially if it`s being used in the way it was intended--in the worst conditions. There really isn`t any way to keep Filson luggage looking brand new.
The safe way to clean Filson luggage is by wiping or brushing the fabric with a damp cloth or a scrub brush. Other than that, there is nothing that you can do to clean your luggage without risk of damaging the color or the water repellency.
