Excerpt from our 1995 catalog:
Coming up with new ideas for our catalog is sometimes as easy as looking out the window of our office at 89 Front St. in Marblehead. Right there below, on any given day, parade ideas from a half a dozen lifetimes at sea…we called ‘em the Boatyard Boys. Remember the TV show Hogans Heroes? Well, it’s a lot like that. Mark McCluskey, he’s Hogan. Lars is Carter, Toby is Newkirk, Ryan is Schultz and Ralph… he’s Colonel Klink. Anyway, this is the tool bag they all use. Because in addition to being the toughest, (24-ounce cotton duck), the meanest (a mouth the size of a killer whale’s), the most compartmentalized (24 separate compartments), tool bag in the world, it’s also the best darn vehicle for concealment transport, for getting “things” -- from Budweiser to bolt cutters -- through the boatyard unnoticed. And since they all carry the same bag, well, let’s just say the shell game starts every Friday afternoon about 4 PM.

Amazing products, well thought out, artfully crafted with materials that will stand the test of time!
Great bag. Perfect for the boat. The right size. Very sturdy. Tossed the cheap looking shoulder strap, attached with plastic d rings uncharacteristic with the quality of the rest of the bag, but still a five star purchase. Getting one for my son.
Not a boat person, more of a woodworker. I bought this tool bag for when I go help friends with repairs or for when I need to bring a bunch of tools inside for a project. This thing is super tough. Extra super thick canvas, not flimsy at all. Looked at some other options online but eventually went with this and I have 0 regrets. Gonna have this thing forever.
We have loved every product we have bought from Engle and Atlantic rancher.
My beautiful girlfriend and spouse will start beekeeping next year and the tool kit (Christmas gift shhh) is perfect for her tools
I’ve been a fan of AR since the olden days of printed catalogs, and so glad to see the revamp of the company. I knew I had to have this bag, and my instinct was right. It’s the perfect size for EDC to the office, hearty enough to haul full of tools, and an awesome alternative to a traditional bag. Great work from great folks!
This is a well built bag and should last a lifetime. A bargain at the price!
Great quality! Totally met expectations.
Love the strength of the material and so SO many pockets! I live up in the mountains and have tools in barn, garage and house. This has proven to be a royal pain in the arse....but with this bag it's filled and ready at the house. Love the center dump area....do wish there was a metal ring for hammer on external area. Just an idea for your 2.0 version! Lol
My husband has had this tool briefcase on his boat for over a year, and loves it. It fits all of the tools he needs without the bulk and weight of a heavy tool chest. It’s rugged and the pockets are perfect for keeping things organized. We decided to purchase a second briefcase for our son in law as he and our daughter are hoping to soon to be home owners. Filled with tools, this will be a perfect gift! I suspect a second bag for gardening tools will be requested.
This was a gift for my Husband who filled the bag immediately with rigging tools and jigs. The BAG is a Beast - the plastic rings to hold the strap broke the 2nd time carrying it. The BAG is still great - the connectors for such a monster bag are quite flimsy -
Built to out last you.
I love this tool tote! I have a bunch of hard wood/plastic tool carriers but this one is great for working around finer finishes and varnish. No hard corners, edges or metal fastenings. I can throw it anywhere and not worry about scratching woodwork or paint/varnish. This one I filled with my electrical tool kit. I’ll probably get a couple more for rigging and carpentry traveling tools.
I am the head rigger and yard manager at a yacht yard in New England and this bag is perfect for my rigging tools. Good design and durable. Good marine use tool bags are hard to find. I am very pleased and would recommend this product to my coworkers.
I have way too much fishing tackle. I picked this up to be able to take small selection with me on the boat and down to the ponds. Perfectly holds some tackle boxes, and the pockets on the outside hold all the tools. And thick canvas—tough as nails. Will last forever.
A must have for the boat or beach. Checks all the boxes!
I buy two of everything now. Then I can gift the other forthwith, it saves a lot of time.
I received my boatyard briefcase and I knew it was quality. From the stout material it was made from to the careful way the pockets are laid out for optimal storage. I am extremely pleased with this item it fits all my carving tools and I know I will get years of use from it. I highly recommend this bag to anyone.
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.
