Hey dude, glad to hear your buddy loves his gear, always good news!!!
You have heard correctly, we are looking to have distribution in the US so that all Northern Hemisphere orders can be shipped from within the country and hence reducing the cost of shipping. I know international shipping sucks, and I can understand that it deters some people, but I can tell you that in most circumstances the shipping price we charge is fractionally less than what we get charged at the post office!! International shipping, to the USA especially, is crazy at the moment! About 6 months ago the US introduced a $9 charge on any shipments entering the country, so we get charged around $30-$35 to ship a hoodie, sometimes more for 5T stuff!!!
Anyways, hope that makes more sense of it all!! Our new range is scheduled for release in November, so stay tuned! I can tell you that the garments will be slightly more expensive though as we undercut ourselves a little with pricing this year, and alot of next years garments are using more technical fabrics so hoodies crews etc will be water resistant, tees will be thermal, and so on and so forth!!
Hope this helps, and cheers for the interest!!!
