 Hi, this is Rob from Jack's Abbey, here are my friends from 1620 Workwear, and this is another episode of Shipping Out. Super excited to be here at 1620. We are thrilled to tell this story, but let's hear it in your words. Who are you all and what do you do? Josh Walker, co-founder of 1620. Ted Deena Centis, co-founder. We've been building apparel here in Massachusetts since the beginning of 2017. Well Ted and I grew up, you know, working manual labor jobs and around guys that were in skilled labor in the trades and we really wanted to build something to kind of champion these guys. There was just nothing being made that spoke to these guys or spoke to their value. It's just, you know, most workwear out there is really devalued, really cheaply made, bottom of the barrel, no performance capabilities in the fabric. And we just saw a real opportunity to create something premium for this guy, best in class in terms of performance, durability, and also something to align with their values. What is the secret sauce of this workwear company? What makes you stand apart? It starts with the best fabric and the best ingredients, right? We're using what we think are the best fabrics in the world. And so we really, you know, focus on fabrics that are specifically fit the needs of our customer and what these guys are looking for in there, you know, solving that problem. Whether it's, you know, drying two times quicker than cotton or being significantly more abrasion resistant or has, you know, durable water power treatment. And it's obviously made in the USA, which is another important factor of it. You know, we really want stuff to still look good. We have very subtle branding. The lines are all really clean. Our fits are really clean. At the end of the day, like it's still clothing that you have to wear. People have to see you wear. It matters, you know. What is it like to operate a manufacturing facility in Massachusetts in 2023? You're affecting and basically supporting a lot of people's lives and all people's livelihoods. You want to do good. You want to make stuff here in the US. You can't do it with a smaller footprint and greener than what we're doing making in here in our home state. That's a good feeling. That's why we love to tell these stories. What are you most excited about the future? It's a really cool space to work in. It's a super loyal customer. And I don't know if you can swear or not, but you cannot bullshit this customer. I'm just excited about continuing to make stuff better and reach new customers throughout the country. I'm super proud to know that like this stuff that my partner I've worked super hard on is going there. It's helping a guy have a better day on the job. And he spent a lot on it too. People want better stuff whether they're wearing it, they're drinking it. You can't bullshit the customer. So I want to thank you for this conversation. It's been a pleasure. It's been a pleasure. Cheers. Good beer. Great beer.
