Where to begin...
Ok...back in 1984, after I had been working
for the railroad first as a Brakeman and then as a Locomotive Engineer for 12
years, I had the desire to start some sort of no store front business.
Mail order was the only choice at that time of course. I wanted the
business to have an outdoor related product line. As it happened, during
this product selection period of brainstorming, my grip fell apart. If you
are a rail, you know what I mean. Cheap bags just cannot take the demands
of our profession as train crew members. At any rate, a good friend, also
a Locomotive Engineer, knew of my ideas for a business and my bags poor health,
and suggested I start making high quality grips!!
Hmmm...I think we could do that!! I
put myself on a very steep learning curve regarding materials, production
sources and technique and so on. We started off slowly and found that our
bags were then and still are today, among the highest quality soft luggage
available. My original name was "October Country". If you see any of
those bags around, know that the bags are at least 14 years old!
We have been
producing these high quality, affordable, soft luggage items ever since then.
Of course the
majority of these bags are in use by transportation industry people...railroad
train crews, truckers, etc.
Our reputation within the railroad
industry well established and respected. More recently, a broader group of
high frequency business travelers from all industries, that recognize the
value of our high quality travel bags as well, are discovering our quality,
durable American made products. Our bags (travel, duffle or backpacks) are
made to work for a living. One of the great things is that for personal use (non railroad),
these bags are just about indestructible!
As you may have seen on the first page you
came to, we are expanding our product line over the next few months to provide a
good source for high quality products for our customers old and new.
Autumn Creek luggage items provide the buyer
with what we believe to be the best value available today, in terms of price/quality ratio, for
any high frequency use.
There are many, many of our bags that are over 20 years old, with some 24 years
old, that are still being used on the road today!
You can very easily pay less for a
bag...but you will not find the Autumn Creek quality, value and durability. Purchase one, good
Autumn Creek bag...or many other bags of lesser quality.
