Spent 3 hours today sitting in a pool during a rainstorm drinking various drinks…life’s not bad

As soon as it started raining, everyone headed towards the hills, and for those of them that did, Thank you!

I’d like to give @Alex some love for a few things that he’s done / doing to carry on the legacy that H&G initiated.

First, the re-love program. This is good for consumers who want to get a nicely worn item that otherwise is just sitting in a closet or a box, but more importantly it is ecologically a good move.

Second, the free repairs for life. This fits the IH ethos established by @Giles of extreme customer service, but again, more importantly in my mind reduces consumption, and ultimately probably revenue for IH, but is good for ecological sustainability and also for us, since most of us would like to wear our gear into dust. It also falls in line with the IH ethos of durable gear robustly constructed.

It is very difficult for a retailer to balance profitability and sustainability, and to be willing to make sacrifices to do so is truly admirable.

Nice one @mclaincausey

[endo]

good words @mclaincausey only one more to add, third party year in a row (IH hat-trick so to speak)

[mclaincausey]

Thanks and good call. I forgot to also mention experimentation with less toxic dying techniques, using organic fabrics in some cases, and of course contracting with suppliers who, I have to assume, treat their workers with respect.

[Alex]

@mclaincausey thank you ️
