About / Our Story
Built for the Field. Made by Hand.
Max-custom was born on the job site — not in a boardroom.
The bags you see here were designed by a Union Ironworker who spent years working in the field and couldn't find a tool bag that actually held up to the job. Store-bought bags tore at the seams, sagged under weight, and couldn't carry my tool setup. So, we built our own.
The Craft Behind Every Bag
Every Max-custom bag is hand crafted from #4 cotton canvas — a rugged, time-tested material that stiffens and strengthens with use rather than breaking down. This isn't fast fashion. It's workwear built to outlast careers.
Every detail is intentional:
- Side loops for quick tool access on the go
- Deep pockets sized for the tools tradespeople actually carry
- Grommets for tool tethers — because on a high-rise or a bridge, dropping a tool isn't an option
- Reinforced stitching throughout, built to take the abuse of daily field work
Made for Real Work
Our bags are designed around how Ironworkers, electricians, pipefitters, and other tradespeople actually move through their day. You need your tools organized, accessible, and secure — whether you're climbing, rigging, or working off a scaffold.
The Original and Bolt bags have become go-to gear for tradespeople who won't settle for flimsy. They're heavy enough to feel substantial, but balanced so they don't slow you down.
Custom Screen-Printing
We also offer custom screen-printing on our bags — perfect for union locals, contractors, and crews who want their name on their gear. Whether you want a company logo, local number, or a custom design, we can print it.

Our Promise
Every bag that leaves our shop has been made with the same care we'd want in gear we use ourselves. We're a small operation, and we intend to keep it that way — because quality doesn't scale well.
If you're a tradesperson who's tired of bags that don't last, you're in the right place.
