View from the hotel room.

View from the ride to the factory.

Looked even crazier in person.

Sebago’s leather scrap yard is ridiculous.

The handful of gentlemen working in the sample room are perfectionists. Win.

Watching Greg try this during the Nexus trip was epic, it looks simple right? Ha

The pattern engineer working on one of 4 new patterns i put together for Fall 2011

They were Producing my final sample sets for my Spring 2009 line today… Here’s a little preview.

I’m in the Dominican Republic for my Fall 2011 line. This is my third time coming down here to design a collection and every time it gets a little more interesting. The goal is to create new Fall and Winter items that look different from anything the market has ever seen. So after 2 full days of seeing an amazing collection of new leathers, units(soles), linings, threads and laces i put together 4 new patterns and 14 styles that are extremely different from what the market has to offer. I’m excited to see a few finished samples tomorrow before i head back home, should be amazing! The Sebago team makes things happen. Other companies can get nervous now.
