What is the company that makes stainless steel skuff protectors for the scott bag?

A while ago I saw a link posted about a business in houston started by an expressjet pilot that made stainless steel scuff plates for the scott bag. Does anyone have the info? Google and search have not yielded any results.

Thanks for the quick reply. Any experience with the scuff plates?

My scott bag is getting a little scuffed on the bottom, enough that it's beginning to effect the sewing in the bag. It seems like the stainless plates would keep me from ruining it.

I have the coyoteworks bag with the steel skid plates...love it.

I think those steel things look weird and awkward.

Scott will repair your bag in the scuffed area for not much cost. In fact, when I ordered mine they told me that your problem is the most common problem with the bag--that people drag the corner along the ground and it prematurely wears out the corner. I believe they sew another piece of heavy-duty leather over the scuffed area so that it still looks the same. You might want to give them a call.

from the looks of it, hope you dont have any hardwood floors in your house.

Looks like a nice case overall though.

I'm sure they can sew on more leather, but it's just going to end up getting scuffed up as well, which is probably why they don't warrant scuffed corners.

I've never seen a flight kit that wasn't scuffed up on the corners, so a metal plate may be the only answer to keep it from ripping up.

Those plates are great for protecting the bag. Problem is that they also do a good job of ripping up car seats, walls and scuffing up your flooring. I finally took mine off because of their destructive qualities. Other than that the bag is pretty good. Its a little stiffer than the Scott when new, but breaks in pretty quick.
