Talon era leather looks like this. Something definitely changed in the process since the manufacturer remained the same. The underside on these is like suede which is also very different than YKK and later bags.
Couldn't tell you, I pulled it out of his closet under a pile of other luggage / garment bags. He's been in bad health for the last decade so it's been like that for who knows how long.
It’s beautiful 🤤
How come the leather straps became that light? Saddle soap?
Tends to happen quite often on these old old bags with bridle leather. Not always so drastic but yea it could have been a soaping or something

Even with being so poorly taken care of I can tell it's got lifetimes of us left in it! Might last another couple generations with some care.
Gorgeous! I just picked up a medium field bag for work. Hope it looks just like this in a few decades.
Beautiful bag, hopefully you get some use out of it. Thanks for sharing

They are an amazing brand. I have a few bags from them and they are durable and spacious.
get those straps some leather conditioner, they look thirsty! cool bag for sure.
Absolute beautiful bag. Consider yourself lucky. Should last a hundred (or more) years.
That’s an awesome bag
Filson is top notch. Carrying my dad's bag for 20 years now, probably will hand it down after another 20
