Eric Messier for Owner Operator. Eric has been an inspiration for us since we first met 12+ years ago. He was our very first pro, great friend, and has always continued to evolve as a snowboarder in unique and surprising ways. We're thrilled to be working together on new projects again. ❤️ 📸 @neildacosta by @owneroperator

Check out our new tote! Cut and sewn from heavyweight 15 oz. cotton canvas. This bag celebrates our sometimes confusing multi-pronged, three-city attack on the clothing industry, as well as our even-more-confusing fantasy world illustrated by me (sk) on the flip side. by @owneroperator

Couple customs I finished up on this weekend. The orders came hot and heavy in September and I’ve been pushing hard to keep up with it. I’m not stopping and it’ll all get done. The sun and black 93 Bib is one of the trickiest items I make and im excited this Bib turned out so nicely. The 93 pant is a custom color variation that im pretty sure we’ve not done yet, some of the best design choices have come from our custom customers taken in New York, New York by @owneroperator

Honored to spend the day creating a new shape with pencil and ruler with these legends. A beautiful and inspirational experience! First shape I've designed in 5 (!) years. 📷 @toomuchworld by @owneroperator

For 18 Summers, we’ve created new versions of our classic designs and this summer is no different. This 111 variation has 60/40 outer fabric with a nano coating, an upper fleece body lining, 8 pockets, inner waist control cinch, a ticket wicket loop, and the Owner Operator weatherman Zip-O-gage. These ideas come usually from the year before sitting on the lift thinking what I’d like to see in a new version of whatever I’m wearing, and whatever would make snowboarding more comfortable for me. One idea in particular was having fleecy body and smooth nylon sleeve lining. Turned out it worked and optimized arm movement. The waste has a adjustable cord to restrict or promote airflow on windy or hot days. The hem is also shock cord adjustable. The hood has two separate shock cord adjustability features, and is roomy. This is the XXL which we’ve in the past never made as an offering officially, but had done some as customs so we had a new graded pattern created for this actual XXL and I have to say it fits me really well. I’m looking forward to riding in a XXL this year needless to say that this actual garment is going to be for sale and if you’re interested in it, it’s the first custom up on the site this coming 26/27 Season.

Owner Op navy custom Vestiges Jacket on its way to Japan. The vestiges jacket was named after the dwindling materials manufacturing we have witnessed over the past two decades here in the good ol US of A. We’ve stockpiled lots of interesting and useful fabrics over the years and now pull from our collection to create these as one of a kind garments. by @owneroperator

After an off road trip deep into a desolate part of a New England forest, where shed roof repairs had to be made on the fly, I realized the need for what I could only call an “Off Road Bag.” Tools had to be hauled from the truck up a trail about a quarter mile. Along the way, the only bag we had, a basic canvas tote, completely failed. One handle ripped off, and the bag itself was so flimsy it would not even stand open on its own while working out of it.

When I got home, I built the bag I wished we had out there. This tote is really more of a mega tool tote, designed for future missions, rough conditions, and carrying the kind of gear that had destroyed our flimsy bag.

The bag features military spec polypropylene webbing long enough to loop over your shoulder, along with three exterior pockets. The center pocket has a snap closure, while the side pockets include webbing straps where carabiners or clips can be attached for extra security.

It can be used as a regular daily tote too, even though its construction is well beyond what’s needed for a trip to the library. It’s built with Cordura inside and out, with two interior pockets, one specifically zippered to keep your phone clean and dry, and another for organizing tools I’ll need on future missions.

Looking forward to the next off road adventure with this one. taken in Brooklyn, New York by @owneroperator

You might have caught the build video I posted Friday, but I wanted to lay out some of the details that go into every 111 Parka we make, start to finish, here in the studio.
First, the heavy lift. This parka carries 9 sealable pockets, six across the body, two interior body pockets in different sizes so your carry sits where it should, and one on the left forearm for your pass, easy scan, or anything credit card sized. The chest and hand flap pockets use American-made Velcro, with a 6 snap storm flap closure. I’ve run 7 in the past, but this season 6 just hits right, better spacing, cleaner line that neatly covers the Double ended YKK MIA CF zipper. Every season I keep pushing small refinements, things like the double needle topstitching that’s become standard here for strength and durability.
The 111 runs double ended 15.5 inch YKK pit zips, 3 hood adjusters, and a hem adjuster for when the weather turns. New this season, we started adding Owner Operator Zip-O-Gage analog thermometers. Not necessary, but hard not to mess with on the lift.
Summer is when things slow down enough to really look at the details, the stuff that gets rushed past in season. If you’re thinking about your best kit, now is the time to get it moving. 111 Parkas, Shelter Anoraks, 93 Pants, 93 Bibs, Summit Mitts, all cut and sewn here for how you actually use them. taken in Brooklyn, New York by @owneroperator
