Uncle Jack’s collection of “long-seers” as he called ‘em was legendary…as was his special knack for stepping and sitting on them, and of course, losing them.
I personally have, more than once, fished his eyeglasses
out of the bilge of the Dotty G, a sportfishing boat he worked on in Beach Haven, NJ.
I’ve heard stories that his wife, Adelle, once found a pair inside the toaster. And what a ruckus would ensue when he couldn’t put his hands on a pair.
Nobody was safe I’ll tell ya, and he made it everyone’s problem until they were found. Usually an arm-length away, 2 or 3 of them, right there in a coffee cup on the kitchen table.
Uncle Jack…these leather eyeglass cases are for you. While they may not solve the "losing" part of the problem, they will solve the crushing part. Setting out on this build, we wanted something with solid structure, utmost utility and of course, crush-proof construction…cost be damned.
I’ve ruined my share of fancy Persol® sunglasses to know not to go cheap here.
To get there, we chose HH, 8oz weight American Harness
Leather milled and tanned in Pennsylvania, and we cut only from the back part of the hides where the leather is the firmest. The nose saddle that holds the glasses in place, also cut from this heavy-weight leather, acts as a center
support beam, protecting the most fragile part of an eyeglass. In the front, the thick leather fans out in a curved wing design and is handsewn to the back part and resists collapsing due to the natural curve and thickness of the
leather. And to secure all of this, we use a unique marine grade closure found on boat weather curtains, called “Lift-a-dot®.” All the seams on the case are handsewn
(not machine stitched) with waxed nylon thread.

Returns & Refunds
If you aren’t happy with what you’ve purchased from Atlantic Rancher, you may return it to us in like-new condition within 30-days of purchase and we’ll process a refund for the full purchase price of the item(s) being returned.

All of our shirts, pants, outerwear, sweater, belts and moccasins are made in Portugal, mostly in the same shops we've been working with for over 25 years. Our hand-sewn leather goods, hats and a few other items are made in America.
Our fit is what we call contemporary, meaning they're not overly baggy or boxy, but have ample room and freedom of movement. Also, our outerwear is uninsulated, or very lightly insulated. It's cut with enough room to allow you to layer underneath, with a sweater, a vest or even a light down-filled jacket. For us, layering is always the way to go!
Simple answer is no. All of our shirts and pants are pre-shrunk. At most you will experience a 2% shrink factor after washing and drying.
Dryhandle® is a 100% cotton, weatherproof fabric that we develop in 1995. Starting with 100% long-staple Egyptian cotton the thread is very tightly woven resulting in a fabric so dense that it's thornproof and, even at this stage, surpasses the U.S. government test for rainwear. The fabric is then impregnated through the proprietary DryHandle® process which irreversibly transforms the cotton fibers themselves to make them inherently water-resistant and stain-resistant. Unlike oiled or waxed cotton fabrics, DryHandle® is extremely lightweight, has no odor, won't stain other clothing or upholstery and resists stains from hard use and long wear. Despite being water-resistant, the weave contains millions of microscopic pores that vent moisture, making DryHandle® garments exceptionally breathable and comfortable to wear.
Orders received by 2pm PST are usually shipped the same day. In most cases we ship via USPS Priority Package, and orders to the East Coast typically arrive in 4 days or less. West of The Mississippi orders arrive in 2-3 days.

The answer to the first part of this question is: me, Engle Saez, founder of the company. For part #2...there's an old adage that applies here: "you can't make this shit up." And I will just say that the stories I tell are as true as I can make them and as accurate as my memory allows. That's a true story...
The origins of our company's name is a long story, one will share in blog post at some point. But for now, all should know that we are forever grateful to Susan Turner for her original and very creative idea.
