A Customer's Story... Video Summary: Last year, a gentleman in Huntsville, Alabama ordered one of our travel bags. He had to leave that afternoon, so he packed the bag and went to the airport. It was on Thanksgiving weekend which is, I think, the largest travel day of the year. He was in line and got up to check his luggage through, and the guys took his bag aside and looked at it. The guy called another guy over and he looked at it with them. This bag has some copper tubing on it, so he kind of volunteered and said, “Hey, that’s my bag. Is there something wrong?” People were lined up in a ..read more

Colonel's perspective on "stuff" I got a whole different sense of feeling about stuff and stuff is not important. I always jokingly say, “Well, money won’t make you happy. But if you have enough money, you don’t have to be unhappy around here. You can be unhappy in Acapulco or somewhere other than here.” So, I guess the thing for me was that I was fortunate enough to figure out what I like to do. I discovered that I had a talent for leather design, even though I don’t consider myself a designer at all. But as the old saying goes, if you enjoy what you do, that’s what’s important. That ..read more

It all began in a hot air balloon basket Last year, Miller’s High Life Balloon Crew came to Lynnville to show us their hot air balloon basket accompanied by the owner’s son and devout Boy Scout, Marshall. They brought out the basket, fired the burner and gave us a rundown on how everything works. Hot air balloons are undoubtedly a sight to be seen and a super neat invention but we did wonder about the courage it must have taken the very first pilot to take flight! Later that same year, Marshall took a leather class during winter Boy Scout Camp and really enjoyed it. He and his fell ..read more
