Hard Face Is Back!
We just spent the last five weeks here cutting and sewing over 700 Hard Face Hoodies and Vests. Just a few more bundles of Men’s Vest to finish up at this point. Our sewers call it “Easy Face”, because it cooperates so nicely on the cutting table and sewing machines. Some new colors are now available in almost all sizes.
Cafe Aster for the ladies. This pattern is also available in Black (Nite Aster).
Men’s Vests in Cinder, Red Rum, Bark and Lichen.
High Loft Hoodies
High Loft Hoodies are back in stock – we just finished up sewing a batch of over 500. This fabric is the “extreme warmth” version of Polartec’s High Loft fleece – super warm, highly breathable, ridiculously soft & comfy. Unfortunately, it is difficult and messy to work with. So while nobody here enjoys cutting and sewing High Loft, everyone loves wearing them!
We added a couple of new colors with this batch, including Dark Magenta, hanging here in our front window. That’s the Odd Fellow’s Hall that you can see reflected in the glass, a cool old Leadville building. Also our dump-score antique Raleigh
Snow In The High Country
We’ve had some nice early season snowfalls here in Leadville. Sure feels lucky to get out skiing in the backcountry in early November! Here’s a few pics from last weekend.

Wind Pro 200 Colors

Check our website for the full selection of colors. Sorry about the washed-out photos, our photography skills need a bit of work …
