@Jason @chamath @rabois @travisk I handcraft luxury backgammon sets in North America, featuring exquisite Italian leather, custom handmade metal checkers, and premium dice. Let's make something together. Capacity to scale.

@thesamparr USA factory owner. Happy to make the totes for you. Small batch fine. SoftlineBP.com

A niche but cool biz: USA made cool swag. I’m trying to buy stuff for Hampton. Want chore jacket, denim, sweater, bag…anything like that. Our logo with a cool background story. Hard to find.

@MehtabKarta Metropolis is the only answer.

For baglookers: The @PingTour Moonlander is the best out there. Only bag for serious walkers. —fail-proof legs —ample pockets (not too many) —solid build —lightweight (not cheap) —NO CLUB TANGLE —H2O holder on spine! —they’ll pre-bend the left leg for and extra $12.99. ;) You NEED this bag.

@thwacknicklaus @NicoPaezGolf @PingTour It has a water bottle holder. Inside the big pocket. Set up for you or a caddie.

@NicoPaezGolf @PingTour Yeah, I don’t believe a bag should cost as much as Evans do. Only thing holding me back on that one. And the water bottle holder!

@typesfast Free to enroll is great. What other costs/fee are there once refunds issued? Thanks for putting this together.

We're enrolling companies be the first in line to process for tariff refunds start happening. 22 Fortune 500 Companies signed up to get into the process yesterday. We've made the process dead simple and free to enroll. When the window opens, we will be the fastest, most accurate, and most affordable way to get refunds in the world.

@therealmcnair @UESgolf I knew the vision for this brand was elite the moment I saw your taste in golf bags. Application submitted. I’m ready to be a part of the shareholders that scale these 'intrusive thoughts' globally.

More intrusive warm weather thoughts today. cc: @UESgolf

@seanfrank Goody is good.

We got a cold email from a corporate gifting platform. The type of place where your boss sends you a gift card as a thank you, and you gotta spend it there. Was one click sign up in shopify, all the sales are full price, seems pretty gated... so said sure We have done over $1,000 every day for two weeks. Some days $5,000. But at least $1,000 a day. Out of nowhere. This is the rise of agnostic commerce. Do you really care where your sales come from? If they are all full price, and it isnt more work for you- Does it matter if it is walmart or amazon or chatgpt or your own site? Shopify is the product feed. It is the spine and nervous system of the brand. But you can plug it in anywhere. 2026 will be defined by a few things- The rise in LLM shopping, the continued pressure in wholesale, tik tok shop making a push to profitability, and the enshittification of amazon. Sell everywhere. Hedge where the future is headed.

One of my employees texted me a very spicy picture this morning

@tylerjohnson_59 Way to go!

When somebody tells you “no” it’s only the start of the story. Last year, I took our kids golf bags to a local embroidery shop and asked them if they could embroidery on the bags. It was the quickest “no” I have ever heard. So, I kept digging and went down a rabbit hole. I knew it was possible. Eventually, I visited a manufacturer in the Twin Cities who had the embroidery machine I was looking at. We verified it could work. So, I made the largest investment in the business to date. I bought our own machine and learned how to run it. It’s been 75 days since we started offering personalized kids golf bags. In that time, we have embroidered 400 toddler golf bags 🤯 Just a simple reminder to keep on digging even when somebody tells you “no.”

@HansDose_Does What are you modeling unburdened wages for line operators?

My solution to #tariff problem: I’m opening a factory in USA 🇺🇸 Alternative is to close up shop… With my business, Tenikle, supporting my family, this is not an option. So here we go with an exciting endeavor. Producing for my company and others. $8.7B per year in silicone imports and only one factory in USA producing for consumer goods, a lot of opportunity is up for grabs. Already have 12+ brands looking to use us as their supplier, equating to roughly ~2mm units per year to be committed before launch. (Silicone consumer products) Head of growth onboarded, space and machinery picked out, plant GM and chief technicians both ready to rock. We have a few investors already onboard, but we need to fast track seed fundraising round to deliver goods before Q4. Raising $600k-$1.2mm at $5mm post money valuation. Solid deal. US manufacturing being more expensive is a misnomer. Many additional benefits to manufacture in US include: - less time to delivery (25-45 days on water) - more control of production - no need to airfreight again - full control of IP - global trade uncertainty avoided - no more port strikes affected - competitive costs vs landed (before tariffs) - full factory transparency, accountability, and compliance - retailers seeking made in USA items - no factories disappearing for CNY and other multi-week holidays - reduce Co2 impact by avoiding freight If you know anyone interested in hopping into a high-growth opportunity, or any brands looking to onshore production to USA, please reach out.

When the hide market makes the WSJ, you know it’s an interesting moment in time. wsj.com/articles/WP-WS…

@BuildingDeeply Yes. And these are the mechanics of how it happens.

@ABBlitzer 1. Of course individual job losses are bad. 2. Of course companies whose main function is to import and resell will be hardest hit. And should be given the stated goal of Made in USA.

This is a major knock out event for small/medium importers. Many are constantly chasing dollars and utilizing LOC. Between down payments, 100+ day mfg/delivery cycle, and trade terms there just isn't room for error with their margins.

Much of the automated machinery in our industry is imported into the USA. They are largely made of: steel, aluminum, sensors, and chips. No free lunch.

@thesamparr We've seen a record number of inbound leads in the past 24 hours, though many are non-viable. However, some are promising.

Question: Do I have any US manufacturers following me? Is business booming right now? And are there any publicly traded US manufacturers booming right now?
