Ownership, management changes at Showers Pass

Maybe now they can figure out a way to make their stuff in the USA. If companies like Boathouse Sports and JLRacing can do it, so can Showers Pass.

I think Showers Pass is more likely to intensify it’s offshore manufacturing of it’s goods under the new management and ownership.

But, aside from that, I wonder just how the brand is going to survive, when it’s heart and soul, and the source of it’s passionate pursuit of perfection and the root of it’s creativity is GONE. I am sure that Showers Pass will miss Mr. Dalton greatly, and I wish them luck in trying to replicate that drive.

I agree with the comment about Ed, and the product historically being locally focused. However, remember, that Ed will no longer be part of the picture at Showers Pass. I know for a fact that virtually 100 percent of their manufacturing and sewing is done offshore. They are a design and marketing firm, not a manufacturer.

And, I definitely am not criticizing them, as I have bought a number of showers pass articles myself in the past. But, the jury is out to see what they do without Ed’s creative presence & supervision. Will they bejust another brand angling for growth and future acquisition?Or, will they remain true to their Portland focus and try to manufacture the best garment that is possible?
