In the recent years some OG NSer's came together in Burlington VT to focus their efforts towards getting a new brand off the ground. wow cool unique story right? well whatever. I'll skip to the most recently written chapter.
Their drive is to fabricate classic american heritage style goods that are actually made in america. With that they have succeeded.
They've got this kickstarter going for another 3 weeks. Its already fully funded so they don't need your money to make their dreams come tru. HOWEVER, they have a stretch goal of 20k which results in a fresh as hell (as if the feds were watchin) all back, murdered more than chicago's youth, backpack that I want really badly.
NS has the power to create build and destroy, I've seen this community shame people endlessly, encourage others just as much, and for a specific reference I would credit NS with the successful funding of a previous kickstarter effort (forsake boots). So if you are into this shit, as you should be, because of america, and because of companies by skiers, then check out this link and support by either backing, or sharing with your friends.
