There are lots of misconceptions in the replies to @mattyglesias's post below. Will address some of them in this thread. 🧵

Built to mil-spec. Trusted by U.S. military pilots for 40+ years. The RANDOLPH Military Aviator is handcrafted in the USA with American Gray lenses, bayonet temples, and comes with a military-issued case, dog tag keychain & cleaning cloth. Made to serve. Built to last.

Agreed it takes time but it can be done. People want to work, they just want to be treated right. Build a factory, treat people well, and the talent shows up. Entrepreneurs need long term contracts to commit for private label. @stevenborrelli check out Merrow Manufacturing with hundreds of employees and advanced automation. And clearly you can make a shirt for under $45, just look at this one by Origin Core T-Shirt $32

@dieworkwear Great breakdown Derek!

@dieworkwear Agreed Derek. Following your passions leads to long-term success. The allure of money is strong, but the pride in one's work is invaluable. Regrettably, marketing can often steer people off course, but post-pandemic, I see things changing. Makers are in demand, a good sign.

@esquire Nothing American made?

[Frank Clegg @FrankClegg]

@dieworkwear I thrifted these three pens for $10 and they are now worth over $1000

[Frank Clegg @FrankClegg]

@dieworkwear @itsmeChis Here are some pens I've restored over the past 25 years. I've sourced them from eBay and antique shops.

[Frank Clegg @FrankClegg]

@dieworkwear One of my favorites. Visconti Homo Sapiens. Made of Mount Etna basaltic lava and resin.

The Importance of Resilience in Business:

Frank Clegg Leatherworks has faced many challenges over the last 50 years, but the company's resilience has been a key factor in its success.

[Frank Clegg @FrankClegg]

Now, the business is run by the brothers, Andrew and Ian, under the mentorship of their father. Throughout the years, the Frank Clegg objective has remained the same: source the finest materials, collaborate with the most skilled partners, and craft the highest quality products.
