Once August 1st arrives and the fall promotion emails start flooding my inbox, I’m always reminded of all the things I intended to do at the start of summer and never got around to — beach days, grilling recipes to try, an afternoon reading on my hammock, more dinners on the dock, blueberry picking, putting our boat in the water (I think at this point it might be more trouble than it’s worth). The season goes by so fast and I fully intend to make the most of August, which means more nights like the one featured in this post.

Kiel and I started Kiel James Patrick in May of 2007. It’s crazy to think we have been building this business for ten years. We were two kids with just a sewing machine, and an American-made dream. Our first product was a fabric bracelet crafted out of Kiel’s grandfathers vintage neckties and old novelty ribbon belts, stitched together with a plaid lining on the inside, and fastened with a button.
