It’s doing this EVERYwhere except where it SHOULD be…. the Rocky Mountains.

The best way I can describe the Man Up pop up market that happened this past weekend is this– it’s part 1950’s trade association, part block party, part Hippie co-op (it is San Francisco after all), part European open-air market, and all punk rock garage band. Having been in the menswear industry for the last twenty years, I’ll admit– I’ve become a bit jaded. I thought what I would find were a bunch of hipsters, and I hate hipsters. What I found were serious business owners– whose passion for their product was infectious, and who are strongly dedicated to producing well-made products that last, and make ‘em right here in the USA. I found a new business model that cuts-out the middle man and creates a deep loyalty between the consumer, brand, and owner/operator. I found business people who were generous, passionate, knowledgeable, and friendly. I think I found Main Street in the age of social media.
Children were raised on DuckTales and subconsciously expect a vault of wealth they can swim around in, there is always the sobering moment in everyone’s life when their DuckBeak crashes into the cold concrete at the bottom of the phantom pool of gold. SCROOGED.

“Any fool can destroy trees. They cannot defend themselves or run away. And few destroyers of trees ever plant any; nor can planting avail much toward restoring our grand aboriginal giants. It took more than three thousand years to make some of the oldest of the Sequoias, trees that are still standing in perfect strength and beauty, waving and singing in the mighty forests of the Sierra. Through all the eventful centuries since Christ’s time, and long before that, God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand storms; but he cannot save them from sawmills and fools; this is left to the American people.” – John Muir (via Save The Redwoods | Cold Splinters)
