- 1:31Speaker 2: world is a tough business. Yeah, tell about them. Deals?
- 1:34Speaker 1: Come on those tough business that didn't choose maybe it
- 1:37Speaker 1: chose me ish Yeah, I mean those deals is just
- 1:40Speaker 1: like a handful of projects that we've been able to
- 1:42Speaker 1: do over the last couple of years since starting this.
- 1:45Speaker 1: So I started kind of by accident, I always say,
- 1:47Speaker 1: and the summer of twenty twenty in the pandemic, and
- 1:51Speaker 1: as we first started to evolve and get pieces out there,
- 1:55Speaker 1: we were lucky that some big names were from the
- 1:59Speaker 1: hip hop'space to the sports space, and then over the
- 2:03Speaker 1: next couple of years we started to get a lot
- 2:05Speaker 1: of inbound requests for projects, and so I think where
- 2:09Speaker 1: we were and we still are in a super special
- 2:11Speaker 1: place that people are still reaching out to want to
- 2:13Speaker 1: do projects with us, and obviously being a New York
- 2:17Speaker 1: brand and being able to work with New York sports
- 2:19Speaker 1: teams and other people, it's a huge opportunity that we
- 2:23Speaker 1: try and take the take advantage of and use to
- 2:27Speaker 1: get the word out there about our story and our brand.
- 2:30Speaker 2: So when you say it didn't choose you, what do
- 2:31Speaker 2: you mean by that?
- 2:33Speaker 1: I mean, previous to me having Siegulman Stable as a
- 2:36Speaker 1: fashion brand, I was just doing creative consulting for music artists,
- 2:40Speaker 1: athletes and direct to consumer brands, and then I started
- 2:44Speaker 1: making hats and sweatshirts and the pandemic with my dad's
- 2:48Speaker 1: racing stable logo, and it kind of just started to
- 2:51Speaker 1: take a story and wind of its own. And so
- 2:55Speaker 1: at first I made it for family and friends, and
- 2:57Speaker 1: then some of those music artists and athletes that I
- 3:00Speaker 1: was working with or worked with previously had asked me
- 3:02Speaker 1: for pieces, so I made another three hundred dollars worth
- 3:05Speaker 1: of stuff, sent it out to them. They ended up
- 3:07Speaker 1: wearing it either posted it on Instagram, ward in a
- 3:10Speaker 1: music video, ward in a tunnel walk, and that's where
- 3:13Speaker 1: it started to pick up. The pace decided to launch
- 3:16Speaker 1: a shopify, but I said, if I was going to
- 3:18Speaker 1: do it, I would always stick to the true story
- 3:20Speaker 1: of what the brand is, which is my dad's story.
- 3:23Speaker 1: So I would tell the racing side story, but I
- 3:25Speaker 1: would also tell the equine therapy story. And the equine
- 3:28Speaker 1: therapy bit is a portion of our proceeds. We still
- 3:31Speaker 1: donate two equin therapy programs. And so he would do
- 3:35Speaker 1: these programs for inter city youth kids in Newark, New Jersey,
- 3:39Speaker 1: where it was close to where he was stabled, or
- 3:42Speaker 1: veterans with PTSD or kids of special needs. And so
- 3:46Speaker 1: that's a big piece of our brand ethos.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Wow, giving back to the community. Max siegum Man, he's
- 3:54Speaker 2: the King of New York. He's just under the radar, right,
- 3:57Speaker 2: that's a big title, you know now you I mean,
- 3:59Speaker 2: go listen New York Knicks like I go to the games.
- 4:02Speaker 2: I actually will your hat shou out to my man
- 4:04Speaker 2: Dre with Courtside. You know, Jalen Brunson has your hat on. Yeah,
- 4:09Speaker 2: I mean Carmello Anthony has your hat on. Steph Curry
- 4:14Speaker 2: have your hat on. Aaron Judge has your hat on.
- 4:18Speaker 1: Keep going.
- 4:20Speaker 2: It's just and I'm quite sure it's many more. And
- 4:24Speaker 2: if it's dope, it's dope. You know what I'm saying.
- 4:26Speaker 2: But just the things you're doing in fashion, How do
- 4:29Speaker 2: you feel when you see celebrities because you're a humble
- 4:33Speaker 2: of guy, like I feel like you made it already,
- 4:35Speaker 2: you just don't know it. So how do you feel
- 4:37Speaker 2: when you see Steph Curry, Aaron Judge and all these
- 4:40Speaker 2: big names wearing your stuff? Yeah?
- 4:42Speaker 1: Man, I think it's obviously like the coolest thing in
- 4:45Speaker 1: the world. I think like the backstory when I first started,
- 4:48Speaker 1: that's all I would do is in the pandemic, try
- 4:49Speaker 1: and figure out how to get the word out there,
- 4:52Speaker 1: and was watching Future music videos and then six months
- 4:55Speaker 1: later the Future was wearing a hat a music video.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Don't know if I was manifesting it indirectly or what,
- 5:00Speaker 1: but it's just a school when you're walking around a
- 5:02Speaker 1: random city, or you're in a random airport or in
- 5:04Speaker 1: a random restaurant and you see someone wearing a hat
- 5:06Speaker 1: and a sweatshirt and you have no idea who they are.
- 5:08Speaker 1: So it's the coolest thing in the world to see
- 5:11Speaker 1: Jalen Brunton and Mellow and Judge and all these guys
- 5:14Speaker 1: wearing it. And it's just as the cool feeling when
- 5:17Speaker 1: a random person walking around is wearing it.
- 5:20Speaker 2: Definitely, I've definitely seen I think Kendall Jenna warning it too.
- 5:24Speaker 1: I mean, it was a big moment for us.
- 5:26Speaker 2: That solidified.
- 5:29Speaker 1: Yeah, it was Paris Fashion Week, justin justin Biaver, justin Bieber.
- 5:32Speaker 2: Oh so you tried, you went to Paris Fashion Week?
- 5:34Speaker 1: Was there, but that's where she wore.
- 5:36Speaker 2: Wow? Yeah that's big.
- 5:38Speaker 1: Yeah, it was good. That's a big moment for us.
- 5:39Speaker 2: It's the little things I always think like with artists
- 5:42Speaker 2: and celebrities, they always like, uh, I don't know, just
- 5:46Speaker 2: make things pop. Like we knew about a cooogie from
- 5:49Speaker 2: Biggie Smalls. Yeah, you know what I mean, run DMC.
- 5:52Speaker 2: We knew about Adidas from them. Yeah.
- 5:54Speaker 1: I think. I think different different celebrities, different athletes, different
- 5:57Speaker 1: music artists have different impacts. I think there's a very
- 6:00Speaker 1: small number of them that can take a product where
- 6:04Speaker 1: it and lead to sales. To change business is definitely
- 6:08Speaker 1: one of them, but I think there are others where
- 6:10Speaker 1: they wear it and versus them leading to sales, which
- 6:14Speaker 1: obviously is important, but more importantly also just validate you
- 6:18Speaker 1: as a brand to your existing community. And so I
- 6:20Speaker 1: think all of the steps and the pieces lead to
- 6:23Speaker 1: the next phase. So they're all important.
- 6:27Speaker 2: That's crazy. Can you talk about your collab with Ford
- 6:29Speaker 2: because I've seen the pieces down there the venim Yeah,
- 6:31Speaker 2: I mean, because now we're going from you know, all
- 6:34Speaker 2: the New York teams to cause now just like I.
- 6:38Speaker 1: Mean, for it's a good one and it's a it's
- 6:39Speaker 1: a it's a good way for us to it's our
- 6:41Speaker 1: first introduction to do something with the automotive brand. Growing up,
- 6:45Speaker 1: my dad only drove Ford Explorers. Eddie Bauer additions.
- 6:50Speaker 2: Nice.
- 6:50Speaker 1: So I think for for me it was like very
- 6:52Speaker 1: on brand. Still could tell the brand story and it
- 6:56Speaker 1: was just an ideal scenario. We were going to drop
- 6:58Speaker 1: it on the fourth of July. The majority of our
- 7:01Speaker 1: stuff's made in the US. It was like very Americana feeling,
- 7:05Speaker 1: and it was our biggest collection. Yeah, it was twenty pieces,
- 7:08Speaker 1: so it was headwear, denhim, lounge wear, swimwear. Uh So
- 7:12Speaker 1: it was one of the biggest ones.
- 7:14Speaker 2: M Jackets is super fire. Got to get you in total,
- 7:18Speaker 2: some ten tims, you know when the time vibe, I
- 7:21Speaker 2: love everything. We got to get some leather jackets going too,
- 7:24Speaker 2: because I love what you're doing. We got all the hats.
- 7:27Speaker 2: This feel like the New York. This feels like the
- 7:29Speaker 2: New York Yankees vibe right here. For me though, when
- 7:31Speaker 2: I see these hats back then.
- 7:33Speaker 1: Again that's ready to see and say, we'll have more
- 7:36Speaker 1: famous than the Yankee hat.
- 7:37Speaker 2: That's big. Who are some fashion fashion people that you
- 7:41Speaker 2: know inspire you because I know you knew Virgil piece.
- 7:45Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of them that Him is always
- 7:48Speaker 1: one that I mentioned first.
- 7:49Speaker 2: How long you had you long you knew Virgual for.
- 7:52Speaker 1: A couple of years, and it was through a job
- 7:56Speaker 1: that I had before, a lot of like the consulting stuff.
- 7:58Speaker 1: It was also through an agency called Out from Media,
- 8:01Speaker 1: where we were working with him on a bunch of
- 8:02Speaker 1: stuff for Art Basil also for some of his art
- 8:06Speaker 1: installations and exhibits that he was doing overseason here.
- 8:08Speaker 2: Wow.
- 8:09Speaker 1: And so you just learn a lot from someone like
- 8:11Speaker 1: that just by being around them, not even being involved
- 8:13Speaker 1: in specific projects. But I think I take bits and
- 8:17Speaker 1: pieces of where we are and the evolution of the
- 8:19Speaker 1: brand from different brands, different individuals. I always say, like
- 8:23Speaker 1: when we first started, I would look at Supreme and
- 8:25Speaker 1: Eric em Manual and brands like that that we're doing
- 8:28Speaker 1: a drop model and killing it and doing it the
- 8:30Speaker 1: right way. And that's when we first started. That was
- 8:32Speaker 1: the first phase of Siegulman Stable and how he got
- 8:35Speaker 1: to the next phase and trying to drive resale and
- 8:38Speaker 1: no one did it better than Eric and Supreme and
- 8:40Speaker 1: brands like that.
- 8:42Speaker 2: Crazy. Yeah, my sons love shows when it was like
- 8:47Speaker 2: a fanatic for the someone.
- 8:48Speaker 1: And now we're in Easthampton where he opened up a
- 8:50Speaker 1: store right across the street. So I think I think
- 8:54Speaker 1: I think you go through different iterations of brand building
- 8:57Speaker 1: and where your brand continues to grow and what your
- 9:00Speaker 1: you're trying to get into, and I think you just
- 9:02Speaker 1: take bits and pieces from different individuals, different brands and
- 9:05Speaker 1: figure out how to apply them to what you're trying
- 9:07Speaker 1: to do. I don't think there's a blueprint for it.
- 9:10Speaker 1: I think you can take bits and pieces and make
- 9:12Speaker 1: it work for you definitely.
- 9:14Speaker 2: And look, you started in twenty twenty.
- 9:16Speaker 1: So it's like a couple of years later, here we are.
- 9:18Speaker 2: You got wife feet. I know if she helps you
- 9:20Speaker 2: with a lot of stuff too.
- 9:21Speaker 1: On all this stuff. She's the Roboss creative director area.
- 9:24Speaker 2: So you'll start it off with the hats.
- 9:26Speaker 1: Initially I started with just hats and crew neck what shirts.
- 9:29Speaker 1: Now we have fifty plus cutting so skews everything from
- 9:34Speaker 1: denim to loungewear, swimwear, headwear, all of it. We've done suiting, wool, jackets,
- 9:41Speaker 1: the whole thing. But that's kind of where we want
- 9:44Speaker 1: to continue to build it. I think that there was
- 9:46Speaker 1: probably a point in the business a couple of years
- 9:48Speaker 1: ago where it was like, all right, are we just
- 9:50Speaker 1: going to stick to what we're doing sell millions of
- 9:53Speaker 1: dollars worth or try to, and then that's it. You're
- 9:56Speaker 1: kind of forgotten and you're maybe considered merch. And I
- 9:59Speaker 1: think like the word the worst thing someone could say exactly,
- 10:03Speaker 1: you make merch, right, And I'm like, we don't do that.
- 10:07Speaker 1: We're like a contemporary luxury brand where we make a
- 10:11Speaker 1: three hundred dollars knit sweater, we make a thirty five
- 10:13Speaker 1: hundred dollars suit, but we also make a seventy six
- 10:16Speaker 1: dollars hot Oh.
- 10:16Speaker 2: I mean, I could tell everything's quality and the pop
- 10:19Speaker 2: up shop and and everything's quality from the wall, you know,
- 10:23Speaker 2: you know, it's a beautiful setup to pop up shop
- 10:27Speaker 2: is amazing, and I could tell, you know, I think
- 10:30Speaker 2: by next year you'll be one of the biggest brands
- 10:33Speaker 2: out there, like a Kiff and the EE.
- 10:36Speaker 1: I appreciate you.
- 10:37Speaker 2: Stuff like that because because nowadays people are not just
- 10:39Speaker 2: focused on Louis Baton and Rick Owens and stuff like that.
- 10:44Speaker 2: People went the Kids, they went the Kiff, they went
- 10:46Speaker 2: the EE, they went the Max Siegelman.
- 10:49Speaker 1: Yeah. I think I think fashion got went through an
- 10:51Speaker 1: interesting phase. I think like streetwear became luxury, and luxury
- 10:55Speaker 1: fed into streetwear and it's now just like a big
- 10:57Speaker 1: mix and everyone's just trying to figure it out. So
- 10:59Speaker 1: I think we found a lane for us, and we're
- 11:01Speaker 1: not trying to follow anyone. We're not trying to go
- 11:05Speaker 1: through and be part of fast fashion and just do
- 11:07Speaker 1: what's on doing right now. Just trying to stick true
- 11:09Speaker 1: to what we're doing and let people understand who we are.
- 11:12Speaker 1: And that's the importance of doing a pop up shop,
- 11:14Speaker 1: to get people in touch and feel try.
- 11:16Speaker 2: To and the collab is always dope. Like I was
- 11:20Speaker 2: at the game with Dre and we I got a
- 11:22Speaker 2: chance to meet on Ronnie from Kiss and holding a
- 11:27Speaker 2: yeah yeah, and I'm like, I'm like, I didn't have
- 11:29Speaker 2: my my A six on the A six collab that
- 11:32Speaker 2: he had because it was some of my favorite sneakers. Yeah,
- 11:35Speaker 2: who would you want to collab? If you do sneakers with,
- 11:39Speaker 2: you don't want to say I'm.
- 11:40Speaker 1: Just whoever you work with. It's the same for sports teams,
- 11:43Speaker 1: Like just because we're a New York brand doesn't mean
- 11:45Speaker 1: you can only do New York teams. Most people don't
- 11:47Speaker 1: know that our first NBA collab ever was the San
- 11:49Speaker 1: Antonio Spurs. I was way early, uh and it was
- 11:53Speaker 1: kind of under the radar, but it was a sick
- 11:55Speaker 1: drop and it was before we were renewing cutting sew
- 11:59Speaker 1: and so that was an amazing project for us. And
- 12:00Speaker 1: that was like one of the next one of the
- 12:02Speaker 1: like pages in Seagum and Stable. I was like, Okay,
- 12:05Speaker 1: we can do this. And then the next thing, you know,
- 12:07Speaker 1: we're working with the Knicks, where as a kid from
- 12:09Speaker 1: New York and a New York brand, we can't have
- 12:11Speaker 1: a cooler team to work with. So uh so, yeah,
- 12:14Speaker 1: I'm a fan of whoever we work with.
- 12:15Speaker 2: Definitely, I'm you know, I gotta get a whole bunch
- 12:18Speaker 2: of stuff, befog get out of here. How does your
- 12:21Speaker 2: father Ronnie right, Robbie, Robbie, Sorry, sorry dad, Robbie, how
- 12:27Speaker 2: does Robbie Siegum and your dad? Like, how does he
- 12:30Speaker 2: intertwine into the business into the to the clover line?
- 12:33Speaker 2: Because I know he was a horse trainer.
- 12:35Speaker 1: Yeah, so this whole brand's built on him. So he
- 12:38Speaker 1: still calls himself the CEO, the Chief Equine Officer. He
- 12:42Speaker 1: was also one of the first people who said, who
- 12:44Speaker 1: the fuck's gonna wear a Segum and Stable hat? But
- 12:47Speaker 1: now him and my mom are both pretty much retired,
- 12:49Speaker 1: and they follow us everywhere we go. They are super proud,
- 12:53Speaker 1: but also like, I can't believe that this is happening
- 12:56Speaker 1: kind of thing because it went from a logo that
- 12:58Speaker 1: my mom made for my dad when he opened his
- 13:00Speaker 1: stable and wow.
- 13:02Speaker 2: Your mom made look yeah wow, shout out to mom.
- 13:05Speaker 1: Yeah. So it's it's definitely like a real family story,
- 13:09Speaker 1: family business, and I think that they are just happy
- 13:13Speaker 1: and joyful and can't believe that this is actually happening.
- 13:17Speaker 2: I mean, you know, you know, because a lot of
- 13:19Speaker 2: people you can have a celebrity way of stuff and
- 13:21Speaker 2: it's still not really be hot. But when I've seen
- 13:24Speaker 2: jaylen Brunson with it, I just loved the New York Yeah,
- 13:27Speaker 2: the New York nick color one. It fit right, you know,
- 13:31Speaker 2: I wore it a couple of times. So it's just
- 13:34Speaker 2: I just think with fashion, dope is dope.
- 13:38Speaker 1: Yeah. I think those things like people wearing as like
- 13:40Speaker 1: is helpful. I think you got to figure out how
- 13:42Speaker 1: you build on it and be smart and consistent and
- 13:44Speaker 1: connect the dots. As soon as you slow down or stop,
- 13:47Speaker 1: there's another five thousand brands behind you trying to take
- 13:50Speaker 1: your spot. So uh, not that we're trying to take
- 13:53Speaker 1: anyone spot. We're just trying to grow at our own pass.
- 13:55Speaker 2: You're very humble, You're not really on Instagram too much.
- 13:58Speaker 1: I'm on Instagram, but that you.
- 14:00Speaker 2: Kind of like under the radar because if all the
- 14:02Speaker 2: deals you had, I'll be popping man ship. I gotta
- 14:04Speaker 2: deal with.
- 14:05Speaker 1: The next trying to make good campaigns and get out there.
- 14:12Speaker 2: It's crazy because when I when I look at you,
- 14:14Speaker 2: I feel like a Virgil feeling like you got all
- 14:17Speaker 2: the best and and and then like you, what are
- 14:21Speaker 2: you going to design cars next? Like what are you
- 14:24Speaker 2: going to do the sneakers next? You definitely gotta do
- 14:27Speaker 2: the Maxine sneakers. Yeah, you know, and and and that's
- 14:34Speaker 2: the thing about fashion, because fashion is not an easy business.
- 14:37Speaker 2: It's not like you said, people get caught up. I'm
- 14:39Speaker 2: making merch. I'm not making clothing lines and some of
- 14:42Speaker 2: my free AO shirts and stuff like that. But you're
- 14:45Speaker 2: high end line.
- 14:47Speaker 1: A luxury line, and that's where we're trying to continue
- 14:49Speaker 1: to build. Who inspires you everything? Everyone? Everything? Uh, definitely
- 14:56Speaker 1: my fiance is our creative director. She crosses it. But yeah,
- 15:00Speaker 1: I mean I think people like you mentioned like Virgil
- 15:02Speaker 1: and other artists. And I think that there's ways to
- 15:05Speaker 1: get inspiration, not even just from people in fashion, from
- 15:08Speaker 1: people from all different verticals and try and figure out
- 15:10Speaker 1: how to embed it into what we're building and doing.
- 15:13Speaker 2: So what does a Max seeing them and they look
- 15:16Speaker 2: like like, what time are you up?
- 15:18Speaker 1: Wake up early? I go for a run and work out,
- 15:23Speaker 1: start working right away. I talked to like two hundred
- 15:25Speaker 1: and fifty people on my phone all day, text emails,
- 15:28Speaker 1: DMS calls, trying to get stuff done.
- 15:32Speaker 2: You're doing big business man. Thanks for having us at
- 15:35Speaker 2: the pop up shop in the Hamptons. Then before we leave,
- 15:38Speaker 2: can we take a look at all the stuff you
- 15:39Speaker 2: got to do it?
- 15:40Speaker 1: Let's look at it all.
- 15:41Speaker 2: Let's look at some of these clothes, all right? Cool.
- 15:43Speaker 2: So we was with Max and we was talking about
- 15:46Speaker 2: in the Hampton's what sold out and the dope pieces
- 15:49Speaker 2: we got to do. Let's talk about the dope jerseys
- 15:51Speaker 2: that head.
- 15:51Speaker 1: Yeah, this is our summer collection. So it is the
- 15:53Speaker 1: first time we did mesh. We did a Mesh top

- 15:58Speaker 1: Mesh bottoms two and then we also with one with
- 16:01Speaker 1: Ford which our show the nineteen eighty two, which is

- 16:06Speaker 2: Statement, Oh, I was just about to ask you.
- 16:10Speaker 1: Was a good I wasn't born yet, but yeah, that's
- 16:13Speaker 1: what I was told.
- 16:14Speaker 2: Definitely, it was to me some of the best years
- 16:16Speaker 2: in my life as a kid.
- 16:17Speaker 1: And then the Flee stuff, which we do a lot
- 16:19Speaker 1: of oversize so they're super long, cozy, good set. And

- 16:53Speaker 1: when they visit. They always want the stuff that says
- 16:55Speaker 1: that Hampton's on it.
- 16:58Speaker 2: So what does your father actually do with the horses?
- 17:00Speaker 1: Because he trained him, he trained the race, trained in
- 17:03Speaker 1: the race and then therapy stuff. He grew up on
- 17:07Speaker 1: Long Island, like ten minutes from Roosevelt Raceway. You know
- 17:11Speaker 1: where Roosevelt Field Mall is now, it used to be
- 17:13Speaker 1: a racetrack. And so in high school he played college soccer,
- 17:17Speaker 1: went to college played, had an opportunity to go pro,
- 17:20Speaker 1: but back then you weren't making money playing soccer. Still
- 17:22Speaker 1: now it is debatable if you make money.
- 17:24Speaker 2: Here right now.
- 17:26Speaker 1: A little bit more than you would have. But decided
- 17:28Speaker 1: to go back and like followed his love for horses
- 17:31Speaker 1: and start training race horses for this guy named Carmon Abbotello,
- 17:34Speaker 1: which was like the biggest horse trainer in the country
- 17:37Speaker 1: at that point. Wow stayed with him for a couple
- 17:39Speaker 1: of years and then started his own stable. So we
- 17:42Speaker 1: started training horses for well the individuals groups of people. Uh.
- 17:47Speaker 1: And actually stayed with the same group of people almost
- 17:50Speaker 1: the entire of his career, which like pretty unheard of.
- 17:54Speaker 1: So he started a Roosevelt race away when they shut
- 17:56Speaker 1: it down, he moved the actual Seaguman stable to the
- 17:59Speaker 1: Meadowlands and Jersey and then in South Jersey and Freehold. Uh.
- 18:02Speaker 1: So yeah, he every morning got on the back of
- 18:05Speaker 1: this horse, took it around and trained them.
- 18:08Speaker 2: Uh.
- 18:08Speaker 1: And in the beginning when he first started, before he
- 18:10Speaker 1: had my older brother, he would actually uh, ride in
- 18:14Speaker 1: the races.
- 18:15Speaker 2: Also, because it's like a family business, your mom's made.
- 18:18Speaker 2: The logo is symbolic to your dad. I love this, this,
- 18:23Speaker 2: this the color and everything is right. The burgundy they had, yeah.
- 18:27Speaker 1: It's perfect, dope. And these are core colors, Our core colors,
- 18:30Speaker 1: navy and uh chili pepper red.
- 18:33Speaker 2: I mean I dropped that to take that hoodie.
- 18:36Speaker 1: Drop it you buy it.
- 18:40Speaker 2: THEESUS fire to the shorts right here.
- 18:42Speaker 1: Yeah, that's banning suit.
- 18:44Speaker 2: So is the first shorts. Yeah.
- 18:46Speaker 1: First year we did swimwear and then a bunch of
- 18:49Speaker 1: our basics and the linen set that I'm wearing that
- 18:52Speaker 1: was ready to wear in.
- 18:53Speaker 2: The swimming shuts. They gat like shorter, like shorter. He's
- 19:00Speaker 2: a dope.
- 19:01Speaker 1: Yeah, they're comfany. We included it in the Ford collection. Also,
- 19:04Speaker 1: we did the bikinis for the ladies as well.
- 19:07Speaker 2: The bikinis for the ladies. I see I see these sweaters.
- 19:12Speaker 1: On the bikinis.
- 19:12Speaker 2: We did this.
- 19:13Speaker 1: Uh these like rustic metal logos.
- 19:16Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's dope. The charms, that's different. I've never
- 19:20Speaker 2: seen something like this on a bikini.
- 19:22Speaker 1: I don't know how many bikinis you're wearing us and that.
- 19:27Speaker 2: This is dope.
- 19:30Speaker 1: Find out here. Yeah, you'll be no.
- 19:34Speaker 2: I just know, I've never seen the logo like like this,
- 19:36Speaker 2: like hanging from a bikini. Usually that's kind of like,
- 19:39Speaker 2: that's a dope.
- 19:40Speaker 1: Our credit director is talented.
- 19:42Speaker 2: So he got a lot of jokes on me about
- 19:44Speaker 2: me with a bikini. When have you seen this little bikini?
- 19:47Speaker 2: That's dope to me. I like stuff that's different.
- 19:51Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's cool. And we use that charm on
- 19:53Speaker 1: a bunch of different stuff too.
- 19:55Speaker 2: Yeah that's dope, but keep doing that because I like that.
- 19:57Speaker 1: This is one of our best selling stuff. We included,
- 19:59Speaker 1: you know, the summer stuff too. Yeah, I know all
- 20:02Speaker 1: we got the medium muff on the one. Might have
- 20:04Speaker 1: to take that the big logo on the back.
- 20:06Speaker 2: I might have to squeeze in that one.
- 20:08Speaker 1: Pajama pants. We also had the top, but it's sold out.
- 20:11Speaker 1: And then the girls also wear it like on the beach.
- 20:15Speaker 2: I've seen that before.
- 20:17Speaker 1: And then it's some more of our basic stuff. This
- 20:19Speaker 1: is a piece from our Indy five hundred collab.
- 20:21Speaker 2: That's dope. We didn't even talk about. You didn't even
- 20:23Speaker 2: tell me about. We're still here talk about.
- 20:26Speaker 1: We did a collab with five hundred this year in May.
- 20:29Speaker 1: It was amazing. Obviously it's just like a historic race
- 20:32Speaker 1: and jacket and we didn't use horsepower. We save that
- 20:36Speaker 1: for Ford, but obviously you could use that for that too.
- 20:38Speaker 1: But yeah, you see that they're.
- 20:39Speaker 2: In bordered logo jacket.
- 20:42Speaker 1: Yeah, the barn jackets for us are big.
- 20:44Speaker 2: The way the is just messed together and.
- 20:46Speaker 1: Everything's just then the two matching shorts, definitely. And this
- 20:51Speaker 1: is my educational shirt. So it's called the Pacer and
- 20:54Speaker 1: it's all the different pieces that you could potentially put
- 20:57Speaker 1: on the horse during the race or training. You don't
- 21:00Speaker 1: put all of it, so I wouldn't be able to
- 21:02Speaker 1: answer that. You need to FaceTime my dad to ask
- 21:04Speaker 1: them those questions, but use some of it depending on
- 21:07Speaker 1: how they how they run.
- 21:09Speaker 2: It's wow, that's crazy. I like that.
- 21:11Speaker 1: That's cool.
- 21:12Speaker 2: It's cool.
- 21:14Speaker 1: And then yeah, yes, so I always say when people
- 21:19Speaker 1: come in to buy it, I always say, you don't
- 21:20Speaker 1: wear the sweater, you don't wear the knit. The knit
- 21:22Speaker 1: wears you, so it kind of lays on you. Trying on.
- 21:26Speaker 1: Try the big one on.
- 21:27Speaker 2: That's that's dope.
- 21:28Speaker 1: Be on the bottom, probably try it. It sits on you.
- 21:33Speaker 1: It's nice, it's cozy.
- 21:35Speaker 2: Try that all. Yeah, I like this.
- 21:37Speaker 1: I'm messing up the table.
- 21:39Speaker 2: Sorry, oh yeah, well I like that. I like it's
- 21:44Speaker 2: a light sweater too. Well, sweat isn't not that heavy.
- 21:47Speaker 1: And then with the same material, we did le brawl
- 21:49Speaker 1: up for the ladies. And then the short switch. You
- 21:52Speaker 1: would think is only for women, but the men do
- 21:55Speaker 1: bond to their company.
- 21:56Speaker 2: As hell well for women.
- 21:59Speaker 1: People usually they walk in. I think it's a two
- 22:02Speaker 1: piece situation.
- 22:03Speaker 2: The sweaters, dope, I'm leaving hit with everything, what else?
- 22:08Speaker 2: What else?
- 22:09Speaker 1: Were looking at some more of our summer stuff and
- 22:13Speaker 1: they see like the metal tifts on there. So we
- 22:15Speaker 1: lean heavy into like the hardware pieces that we can
- 22:18Speaker 1: include because in harness racing there's a lot of on
- 22:21Speaker 1: the horses and on the cart, like the class there's
- 22:23Speaker 1: a lot of hardware and metal that go into it.
- 22:25Speaker 1: So you can see it on there. Uh, So we
- 22:27Speaker 1: try and include and incorporate a lot of the hardware
- 22:29Speaker 1: and metal pieces onto some of the clothing. And then
- 22:32Speaker 1: this most likely for fifty let.
- 22:35Speaker 2: Me see, Oh yeah, that's to we'll send it. We'll
- 22:39Speaker 2: send them, send it to them for overseas. Just need
- 22:42Speaker 2: to there you use the muscle.
- 22:44Speaker 1: Man and then and then you notice the bucket as
- 22:48Speaker 1: that's come on, that's my signa there's our one bucket
- 22:51Speaker 1: bucket hat with with the buckle, so with the metal piece.
- 22:55Speaker 1: I hope it fits you.
- 22:57Speaker 2: I'm leaving total food, is it? That's perfect?
- 23:02Speaker 1: Start the color?
- 23:03Speaker 2: How do you come up with the color schemes and
- 23:05Speaker 2: just know the right thing to make, because like the
- 23:07Speaker 2: sweat is dope, the buckets dope. I love everything. There's
- 23:10Speaker 2: nothing here that I didn't like.
- 23:11Speaker 1: Yeah, man, the different different season when you use different colors.
- 23:14Speaker 1: The washes, like obviously like the te shirt you showed
- 23:17Speaker 1: up in, like the wash on this material. It's the
- 23:19Speaker 1: same exact material as this, but the way it's washed
- 23:21Speaker 1: with the potassium wash makes it like that much more soft.
- 23:24Speaker 1: But it's nice, thick, heavy material.
- 23:26Speaker 2: What that shirt on Instagram? It did one hundred and
- 23:28Speaker 2: fifty thousand views. People love it. I love the shirt people,
- 23:32Speaker 2: everybody complimented me on it. I love the hats.
- 23:34Speaker 1: And these are the bodies baggy sweatpants.
- 23:36Speaker 2: Baggy sweatpants.
- 23:37Speaker 1: The style changed and then these are the wide ones
- 23:40Speaker 1: without the what the.

- 23:49Speaker 2: nice and low key, and I love the way you

- 23:53Speaker 2: bell bottom sweats came back? Like this?
- 23:55Speaker 1: Everything comes back? Everything comes back. I used to be
- 23:58Speaker 1: I used to wear all skinny means and now you
- 24:02Speaker 1: can't make a wide enough pair of pants for me.
- 24:03Speaker 2: Everything's oversize now and it looks still, it still looks
- 24:06Speaker 2: feels dope.
- 24:07Speaker 1: Now now it feels like everything is a little bit
- 24:09Speaker 1: more relaxed. You used to walk in the restaurants, have
- 24:11Speaker 1: to go to the office or whatever it is and
- 24:13Speaker 1: be a little bit more like up tight, button up.
- 24:17Speaker 1: You look like you're ready.
- 24:20Speaker 2: We're going to next.

- 24:42Speaker 1: US has gotten so crazy real humble time, man. This
- 24:46Speaker 1: is a new colorway for the knits for summer, maybe
- 24:48Speaker 1: a couple exclusive hats for the store. This one strictly
- 24:52Speaker 1: made for the store only because sunflower is my favorite
- 24:55Speaker 1: flower Carolina I like. But also you don't see a
- 24:59Speaker 1: lot of like this colorway, Like a lot of brands
- 25:02Speaker 1: make the same style hat. Now I haven't seen that
- 25:04Speaker 1: colorway yet, so it's a good one. And then this
- 25:07Speaker 1: is with Farm and Forage. It's a market in Southampton,

- 25:34Speaker 1: And this, well you keep talking about the Ford collabse. Yeah,
- 25:37Speaker 1: this whole fit like the oversawe everything. I like the colors, like,
- 25:44Speaker 1: we wanted to make it look vintage because we did
- 25:46Speaker 1: when we did the shoot we used like a vintage
- 25:49Speaker 1: nineteen eighty six pick up, So we wanted to just
- 25:52Speaker 1: like play in on that as much as possible. And
- 25:54Speaker 1: then we did our brought our gworts back they see
- 25:57Speaker 1: the details here. And then we told the story of
- 26:00Speaker 1: the Ford collab using the phrase horsepower just too easy,
- 26:04Speaker 1: too easy, but the time. So we did like the
- 26:08Speaker 1: patches on there, we did the patches in the front
- 26:10Speaker 1: of the jacket, the patches on the short sleeve denim.

- 26:30Speaker 2: Just like to be you, just like to be different.
- 26:32Speaker 2: That's what I'm noticing about everything.
- 26:33Speaker 1: Like like I said before, like we don't want to
- 26:36Speaker 1: follow trends, who just kind of build our own way
- 26:38Speaker 1: and let the right people be attracted to what we're doing.
- 26:42Speaker 1: The denim hat. We did a denim hat of our
- 26:43Speaker 1: own in the spring, so we brought it back. Well
