"Hi David I have received the package. Thanks very much. The tote bag is great, all I ever needed and more. Please help me let the guys at Filson know they've got another fan. I am very proud to own a Filson piece. CCS + Filson, it's been an excellent experience. Once again, thanks very much. I'm sure I'll be back! : ) "

"Owning property in Callaway county for over 30 years, I have had many chances to visit this wonderful store. It is great to see something from the past survive and flourish. Defintely if you are in the area and driving down I-70, you need to stop by and give them a visit."

"I wanted to thank you for the great service in getting my order delivered so quickly, and for your care in leaving the phone message before Father's Day. My husband works as an engineering technician for the NRCS, an agency in the USDA. He is often out surveying, and designs and oversees irrigation systems for agricultural purposes. Over the last few years, it has become increasingly difficult to find work shirts for him. It was like finding a gold mine when I found your web site. These shirts are what he needs and likes, and I so appreciate the help you gave me last week!"

"I just received the 257 in Brown from Crane's (first order from them and won't be the last - fabulous service and turnaround - highly highly recommended - thank you David!). I am using it as an everyday briefcase including for a laptop. I've found that there is plenty of room for the laptop (T400 Thinkpad, if that helps with dimensions), pens, pencils, HP 12, BBerry, etc., the newspaper in an outside pocket and with room left over that I can comfortably lug a pretty sizeable amount of paperwork as well (say 3 inch stack with no issues). I gotta say I also love the bag - looks great, is really well constructed with exceptionally sturdy mtls/hardware, very durable and I think will age very nicely. Was torn on the color and decided to chance it with the brown (mostly b/c I fear a lighter color will get dirty quickly) and am now loving the color. At david's price, whatever color you choose will be a ridiculous bargain. Have received lots of comments recently."

"I second the recommendation for anyone looking for a quality flashlight with real power to check out the Surefires. They are the best around."

"Just received the bag. Awesome. You guys aresimply the best place to buy Filson. Will be back soon for a SureFire light. Cheers!"

"I'm really glad to have bought from Crane's. They do really good, honest business, and their price on the tan Filson 256 + hand grip installed is the absolute lowest on the market. I ordered my item and called in a couple days later to change the color I ordered from brown to tan. They were happy to accommodate my requests. I am perfectly happy with the product and their service. Hopefully I'll have the opportunity to order from them again."
