LETTER FROM OUR FOUNDER PETE ROBERTS @pete.origin The ideals of the American Dream live in the mind of the dreamer. The American Dream is a mindset, one I’ve always believed in. Eventually, someone has to speak up. Not with words, but with action. Revolution doesn’t have to be a physical campaign. This bruised and battered American Dream needs you and I to believe in it. For me, it was the simple act of saying "NO." My silent protest to the world, to greed, to communism, to evil … building a factory...
"Some friends and family in the woods of Maine who decided to risk it all on an impossible mission." SO WE BUILT A FACTORY Image depicts founder Pete Roberts and friends building their original factory in the woods.
"New England's mills had been abandoned. Led by greed, the big brands chased offshore slave labor. We discovered something in this mill... AND DRAGGED IT BACK TO THE WOODS" Image depicts abandoned mill in New England.
"A single loom, left behind for scrap. It took us eight hours to move it across the old wood floor. It was naive to think we could make it run again. IT WOULD START A RENAISSANCE" Image depicts Pete and friends moving loom across the floor in abandoned mill.
"We are family owned. We will never go public. We will continue building. We will not compromise. Our family is bigger now. We have three factories. We employ over 400 people. And we are just getting started. WE ARE ORIGIN." Image depicts some of the primary founders and their families including Pete and Jocko.
"We've captured our impossible journey over the last 12 years. If you want to go down the rabbit hole, learn more, and hear our story, here's a couple ways to do so." Image depicts Pete and Jocko on a podcast.
