This is the last Tuesday issue of The Quarterboard.

I started it in July to track the small American makers of rugged prep, one maker a week, with the sales and seconds sent along when they dropped. Sixteen makers later, there aren't enough of us reading it to justify a weekly send, and I'd rather stop it cleanly than let it drift into silence.

Two things stay up.

The Registry stays public at registry.quarterboard.co. All 110 makers, with where each one actually cuts and sews and what we found when we checked. No subscription, no login.

The sixteen maker profiles stay in the archive at quarterboard.co, if you ever want to go back to one.

Thank you for reading. You opened more of these than any newsletter has a right to expect, and a few of you wrote back with corrections and leads that made the Registry better than I could have made it alone. If you ever buy from one of these makers, tell them where you found them. They notice.

Drew

Until next time,
