A glimpse inside the ASTRAL factory and a preview of the Greenjacket LE#2
Friday, December 4th, 2009This has been a fun and busy week for the ASTRAL crew. The factory has been finishing up the first of the new Greenjacket LE1’s as well making some dog beds from our scrap raw materials. Meanwhile, the office team has been working on the design of LE#2. Here’s a sneak peek at what we have been up to this week:
The embroidery machine is one of the most interesting tools here at the factory, it gets a lot of use especially when we make Limited Edition Greenjackets.

Here’s Theresa constructing the front panel on the LE1 with a smile.

Below Tirza works on some LE1 shoulder straps. She is one of our veteran sewing staff and a highly skilled seamstress.

Jesus is filling some dog bed inserts with recycled lifejacket foam. These dog beds are an alternative to the landfill and give your hound a comfy pad after a long day on the water.

Check out the finished dog beds. We also use scrap fabric for the shell material so no two are exactly the same (kinda like snowflakes… and dogs).

…and last but not least, here is a preview of the Greenjacket LE2 which is due out sometime in January.
