As long as they still make the same headwear, I'm fine with it. Also possible suggestion but snapbacks in the future? Some like the uni ones would be nice

I like the name change, it will give matt more of a chance to add new items to the line.  Need to keep the business growing and moving forward.

Thanks for everyone for commenting. It is a big move to change a brand name after so many successful years. I felt that I didn't want to limit myself down the road, and right now was a good time to make the change.

There really won't be much of a change going into this winter. As people have been commenting, there still will be a collection of 27 new beanies plus a new Level 1 Productions collaboration. There is also a new beanie style that has become my new favorite that EC has produced.


Thanks again for all of your support. NS video interview coming on the frontpage very soon!
