Denim Blunders, Reflections and General Nonsense.

[Broark]

Covering a few blunders from the above that I mentioned.
Maine Mountain Moccasin: Started off originally as "New England Outerwear Co.", the brand focused on making traditional moccasin constructions boots and shoes. They eventually changed their name to be more clearly defined (I don't think they ever actually made outerwear, so funny choice to name your brand). I think things started off fine until they began offering MTO production without properly defining the expectations to their customers. People were paying 100% up front and then going months without any form of communication from the brand and a lot of people just thought their money was gone. After a few years of tomfoolery the brand eventually folded. No idea if everyone ever got their boots or not, personally I have a pair (they were RTW, never dealt with their MTO shenanigans) and they're really nice. Wish there was a brand around like this to fill the niche. Quoddy / Rancourt doesn't really do it for me, Russell and Yuketen have gone off the deep end with price increases.

I promise to eventually go into detail on the Jack/Knife stuff, got a bunch of info from a very trusted source years ago but never did anything with it...but I'm off to work now. I'll track it down and see what I can post.

My buddy from Chicago remarked recently that he saw someone wearing a jacket that read 'Moose Knuckles' and was wondering if he had misread or it was some kind of joke... unfortunately they're quite common in Canada and to their ideal customer it's not a joke.
