Casey and I just got back from Seoul. We went down there to look at the last round of samples for our M-1 Collection before placing the big order. Wasn't sure if it was necessary, but actually caught a few things we wouldn't have seen in photos so definitely a good call. The products are perfect and we're ready to hit send.

 

This was sick – we went to the Seoul Premium Textile Expo, where all the best fabric makers in Korea show off their new inventions. We met the guy who does the sourcing for PAF (post archive faction, a dope Korean brand) but when we tried to ask questions about it he just crossed his arms and said "NDA." Bumma. 

But we did find some really nice organic cottons and other natural materials, which are going to be a big focus for us moving forward. Much better for the boys. 

Reconnected with some past (and future) business partners doing big things in Korea. Apgujeong is the spot for good food.

Only Casey could look sick wearing the rashguard out to dinner - pls don't try it. 

 

Finally, did some inspo shopping in the Hongdae district, which has tons of little fashion stands and art studios. Got some ideas cooking for our next drop... 

To our friends in Korea - thank you so much for all the hospitality.

Until next time

- Derek & the team
