Nice bag, I have the Filson 257 style. To attach the leather pulls, tie a simple overhand knot on the end, feed the other end through the hole in the zipper and then feed the knotted end through and pull to secure. If you don’t like the way it sits, take it out and feed through the zipper hole opposite of the 1st time. Good luck and do a follow up in a year or so.
I imagine the older posh straps had suede on the underside to maintain friction. Get some self-adhesive ‘fluffy-size’ Velcro for your strap. That could help with both friction and comfort. Otherwise a leather specialist could definitely help you out. Thanks for the review!
Hi Keen, I got the black leather strap from the Filson site back in December 2021. It was on sale. It seems as though they don’t carry it anymore though.
i know it is subjective but I still think the Filson 24hr Tin Cloth Briefcase is my best buy than the Dryden Series… Yes it definitely would be more costly than the Dryden Series but then it is the original design. Comparing to the Dryden Series, the Dryden series categorised itself as those kind of “kid” bag level like crumpler, timbuk2 or Chrome industries…

Thanks! I’ll make sure to give that a try.

I actually bought some cat’s tongue tape, shoulder pad doesn’t slip at all now! Thanks for checking out the video.
@@markjacobo1991 nice one! Thanks so much for the review. I ordered my Dryden last night in the same colour. So stoked to recieve it now!
@@liamjordan5948 thanks, enjoy the Dryden!
Oh hi mark
What site did you get the strap from?? Can’t find them anywhere!

The 24 hour bag is definitely a great looking bag. It’s been on my wishlist for some time now. For now, the Dryden definitely gets the job done.
