Pretty standard update from Amateurs and FSP. At FSP we’re sewing stuff, at Amateurs we’re printing stuff.
First Amateurs - A few weeks ago we were part of an event at Pilgrim Surf + Supply called Snow Drifters. It was a collection of people and brands that connect on the joy of snowy mountains. For the event Amateurs made some posters that are perforated so the poster can be ripped up into 9 individual post cards to send to friends and loved ones.
We’re also in the end stages of the first Amateurs Gear Guide. It will be a printed book of winter gear for you to explore, so stay tuned more news on that soon :)
And second or last but not least FSP - We’re working on some new colors of Fanny Packs, Travel Rolls, and more backpacks once the strap foam is back in stock. And if you’re in NYC December 14th or 15th we’ll be at the Snow Peak store in Williamsburg selling stuff. If you want anything for holiday’s let me know and I can make it.
And this holiday season remember please don’t buy trash just because you have to give gifts. The big corporations are destroying the world. If you have a different vision of what life in America could look like the easiest way to start is to stop giving your money back to the evil corporations that will slowly take everything and give you less and less.
Also just wrapped up the second sample of a spec pack for Tyler Andrews (big mountain FKT athlete)
It’s basically a high alpine fast pack here’s some pics
I guess that’s pretty much it but here’s some blurry pictures from the NYC Marathon from a few weeks ago.
And on the off chance you made it this far down on this random email full of nonsense and you want more here’s some video links

Love the postcard poster idea! Such a creative way to reuse those materials 🤩
