Hundreds of HERDS OF THE FATHERS bags waiting to be shipped..small sample above..the packaging will be revealed in a few...will you get your hands on one?......JAY

Feels so good to be backkkkkkk(Diddy Voice)....what a weekend folks..sad that we have to come back to the harsh realities of Monday. Monday is always just one of those days that make you realize work is ahead. This past weekend we celebrated, HERDS own, Tobi's birthday along wit our boy Chris' birthday on a 52 passenger party bus...just for the hell of it. Good times man...Good times...

I always live by my "50 no regrets policy"....what I mean by that is..when I'm 50, I don't ever want to look back on my life and say "shoulda,coulda,woulda"..I want to be 50 years old looking out at the beautiful ocean in front of me on an exotic beach...and just lay back and smirk on the life that I lived as a young man in this world...when I had no real responsibilities such as kids and a mortgage...live everyday like its your last folks....JAY

What's up world...because of my major absence from posts..I felt as though it was only right to leave you guys with a gift.... A FULL preview of one of the official bags we will be releasing. This one I present to you is called "The German Boxer"..I have been using this for a bout a month or so just to get that "wear and tear" feel to the Leather..makes it look better. Since HERDS is part of our name..we are trying to stick with animal themes..naming our bags after animals we admire and ones that we feel possess the qualities the bag has..The German Boxer is a very manly, and reliable dog..simple but effective..just like the bag below..the bag resembles a box type shape...which made it easy to choose the "Boxer" name...This bag was bag #2 in the previews..the color has been changed....The inside fabric color we chose for all the bags was a "Deep Red"..very close to being marroon..but not quite..Enjoy

If you look closely at the pictures..we used different shades and textures of Leathers to create the final piece..Its part of our "Leather Blend" formula we used for the Spring 2010 collection..We really wanted to stay away from just handing you a plain, solid bag..The other bags in the collection contain their own "Leather Blends"..The bag contains 3 compartments on the inside for storage..as well as two zipper pockets on the opposite sides of the bag..for things you may not want moving around loosely...Hopefully you guys like what you see..this might be the last FULL preview you get before you are actually are able to purchase...JAY

Shout outs to you all....been a while I know..numerous long nights and a few headaches later I am here to give you guys an update. Went out to eat with a few of my friends from school and just reflected on life a lil bit. A lot of things have popped up out of nowhere...but this is the life we chose..so we handle whatever comes our way. HERDS OF THE FATHERS will be coming your way for the SPRING 2010 season(Dismiss that little disclaimer at the top of the page). Working hard on getting it to you in the next 2 to 3 weeks. The bags are here on American soil..Just working on Marketing,Official Website and Online Store right now...I will be giving you a look at the colored version of the logo on the bags Friday...as well as a look at the inside of the product..I know a lot of you have been interested in seeing that..I think you will really enjoy the color we chose...stay tuned....JAY

Wts goin world, today felt like the good ol days when I would sit in front of the T.V to find out if school was cancelled because of snow. School cancellations rarely happen in college, so when I got the GREAT news that all classes were cancelled I was ecstatic. As I am typing this my enthusiasm is diminishing because i know its back to reality tomorrow. School-Work-No play This was the scene outside my window.Instead of sitting around all day though... I thought about doing a post about my favorite accessory. "My Lucky Hat"I have numerous hats but this hat right here has moved to #1 on my list. I wear it with anything.... Even wore it to a wedding while wearing a suit. If you see me walking around, 8 times out of 10 I'm wearing it. I would probably wear this hat until all the stiching came apart. The one time i thought i lost it, it felt like the second time I lost my Iphone. Sad Sad day.Another thing is, this hat is a conversation piece. A designer once said something along the lines of " If an article of clothing doesn't make conversation."Dont buy it". Does not matter where I go people want to know if  the hat has any history attached to it. I did some research and it looks like the hat does not resemble the traditional Irish hats, many look like it but I did not come across any that looked exactly like it. Looks like someone was pretty handy with needle and thread...had a good eye for material. 

I have had conversations with people that usually, I wouldn't have spoken to... Even made some Irish friends in the UK. Irish people always show love when they spot the hat. I'm starting to realize that the least expensive things in my closet are the ones I care about the most. Why? idk. just the way things play out. I'm about to take it down for the night, this snow day is all about over. Back to business tomorrow. Also I appreciate everyone that has been patiently waiting on our product. I promise your wait is about to end.

Also you can spot a U.S pin on one of the pictures in the collage, always got to let people know, Not like they think I have any Irish blood or anything....lol

Side viewsIf you find one of these and you want to share the pic..Send it to our email address

Hope yall like the hat as much as i do.

Stay safe & stay Blessed.
