A rather fine collaboration between Paul Smith Jeans and the world’s finest snowboard maker from Vermont

The traditional single breasted hacking jacket, in green hunting check includes signature Paul Smith details; printed pocket linings, bespoke stitch detailing and individual buttons. The piece are designed using the latest Burton ‘on-snow’ technology; a three-layer traditional English yarn-dye is a revolutionary idea, making the jacket fully waterproof and breathable with fully taped seams.

“I have taken tailored clothing and given it all the special features expected from me and Burton; unique hidden lining details, individual buttons, and Burton’s cutting edge technology; fully taped heat-welded seams and high performance waterproofing”

I used to work in one of the biggest snowboard shops in the world.

The name of the store is Wave Rave Snowboard Shop and its located in Mammoth Lakes California. I worked there for about three years under the supervision of owner Steve Klassen, GM Tim Gallagher, Alex Wells and Dawn True. Working for Wave Rave was definitely an experience I will never forget.

I started working at Wave Rave in 2002 and immediately felt like I was family and that Wave Rave was my home. I would spend more time at the shop than I would at my condo. All of my friends during my first season were working there, and at one point five kids from my home town Jamestown New York worked in the shop. This was a great time.

Everyone was so supportive of me as a snowboarder and their encouragement lead me to do many great things with my riding.  They helped me get sponsorships and pushed me to ride everyday.  One of Steve Klassen’s requirements for working at Wave Rave is you have to love to snowboard and ride as much as possible.  He really encourages snowboarders to ride and loves to employee kids that are as passionate about riding as he is.  Steve is a pro snowboarder and has been shredding in Mammoth since before they allowed it.  Steve is one guy who is willing to do anything for his employees and looks out for his whole crew.

I remember the sales training and product knowledge Wave Rave used to offer.  It is something I will always carry with me and use it everyday.  “Sparc it up”.
