Azevdeo gave up beach life in Los Angeles to start a farm in Texas.
Patton has found memories of raising chickens during his childhood.
The first business venture Azevdeo did was printing shirts with his older brother at age fifteen.

Azevdeo believes that America can succeed with textile sewing.
“We would like to be made in America.” (Patton)
Azevdeo believes that China has lost its competitive edge.
“Manufacturing jobs are not what a lot of people thought about for the last thirty, forty years.” (Azevdeo)
It’s important to know the communities you’re in.

Patton and his wife, Stacy enjoy living outside of the city and tucked away in the mountains.
“I have a picture of a plane on every vision board I have.” (Patton)

In the beginning of looking for manufacturers, Patton was laughed off the phone after asking for a small batch order.

Many people in America are weary of the price of labor and make the excuse that it is the reason they’re unprofitable.
Azevdeo believes that fuel costs will continue to rise.
It is very important for the manufacturing industry to continue developing and creating more jobs.
Patton is open to the idea of having only one pair made in America as a start to see how it performs.
We cannot go back to our old ways of mass manufacturing that yielded more errors.
There are so many supply and demand factors when it comes to getting the right color for materials.
Azevdeo runs a private equity firm with his brother called MRCA, Manufacturing Revitilization Corporation America.
“No business partnership is every easy.” (Azevdeo)
