Luggage Works???

[TxPilot0878]

I need to get about 7 bags ASAP...for my flight dept. My buddy (who is conveniently out of country...I can't get ahold of him) had one a couple of years back that had his last name stenciled in Red block letters, was aluminium encased, had a steel retractable handle and resembles ones that I have seen on Luggage Works...NG series.
Anyone know who offers that bag and who still adds the names...which I think is a classy touch! I would like uniform bags...and I like the bag that my friend had.

Regards,

Tex

Go to www.luggageworksonline.com. That's where I got mine, with stenciling.

www.stopover.com also has the luggage--with a model they only sell that they claim is their best seller: the 108NG Stop Over Stealth 22"...I'm looking at what to get also, fwit! Good luck!

Try www.StrongBags.com, started by a SWA guy and he has good products. If you want to save a ton of money, less hassle, and good customer service, I'd go with them. I just bought a roller and love it! Simple, tough, with replaceable parts. I'm sure he'll cut you a great deal, since he owns the company.

He does embroidery also. Contact email I think is [email protected]

I've been using a Luggage Works bag (previously called Purdy Neat Things or PNT bag) for 11 years. I've twice had to sent it back for repairs. The first one was due to it being partially crushed by airline employees, and the second time due to zippers getting busted off due to normal wear and tear. The current bag has some improvements over mine with the biggest two being it comes with the stainless handle (steel breaks too fast) and the location of the main bag zipper to the face vice the corners of the bag.
It's expensive compared to the Travel Pro type bags but it's built very well. I would recommend the bag to anyone who buys stuff that lasts vice what's cheapest.

Purdy Neat

I purchased mine here, best deal I have seen.

Guy offers free embroidered handle & free shipping, I think that works out to about $28 in savings. Hope it helps

I currently have luggage works and have had Travel pro. They both suck for various reasons. The 22" luggage works wont fit crap. The 22" in Travel pro will. The Travel pro is cheaper by a wide margin but not as tough. If I had to buy another bag today I would go with that SW pilot strong bags or another Travel pro. If you want to fit more than underwear and a few socks youll have to get the 24" luggage works like I have. Good luck in the overhead bin though.

STRONGBAGS ARE MADE IN CHINA.

LUGGAGE WORKS ARE MADE IN THE USA.

SUPPORT AMERICAN JOBS!

Costco...Cheap, Wear well, LIFETIME guarantee, Maybe their not GQ Pilot crap, but they work well. In the 12 years I've been using mine, I returned my large bag once, never returned my 22" (except when they came out with features I liked better, I replaced it once). I'll bet as a freight dog our luggage takes far worse of a beating than Corp. or Mainline guys.... Just a thought
The Company that manufactures them for Kirkland is located in Irvine CA, Bag built in Philippines

Hey, Weasel...question for you - how much of what you use is from China? Most everything I would imagine.

Try gaining a little education about LuggageWorks...Their material, and every other bag is that they sell are made in China. They assemble them here with some with not so good hardware, and other china made parts.

Anyway, you'd only be supporting probably 2 laborers at PNT who would probably like to go hunting for gopher instead.

Weasel, I guess you believe everything you see on tv too.

Call them and ask if they do any manufacturing of their own material. I have a duffel of theirs and on the inside, it says "MADE IN CHINA"

For a PA28 pilot, you're pretty knowledgeable.

Weasel?

You said they had 2 laborers. I directed you to a page which very clearly states they have 30.

Call them and ask if they do any manufacturing of their own material. I have a duffel of theirs and on the inside, it says "MADE IN CHINA"

So, because they import some items, you're suggesting that they don't manufacture anything of their own domestically? Uh-huh.

I have a Chrysler built in Mexico. Does that mean Chrysler doesn't really make anything in the US and Canada?

For a PA28 pilot, you're pretty knowledgeable.

What the hell are you talking about?

Sorry wrong guy, thought I was posting a reply for Weasel.

I've been to their factory, those pictures are old and they do not have 30 people back there. Give them a call if you don't believe me.
