L.L.Bean Inc. has gone back to the future, as Marty McFly and Doc Brown might say.
The Freeport retailer on Monday unveiled a new-old line of outerwear, made with surplus fabric that had been stored away for 30-some years. The sustainability-minded designs are retro too, with blocks of bright colors recognizable to most people who can remember the premiere of “Back to the Future.”
The company is repurposing 8,000 yards of the leftover material to create 1,700 remakes of its 1991 All-Sports Anorak pullover. It features the familiar kangaroo pocket of the original, suitable for carrying a phone or maybe a Walkman. There are also 750 bucket hats and 750 tote bags, all dubbed as the company’s first “Archive Re-Issue” collection.
Topeka-based PT s Coffee and its owners have grown up with today s coffee industry.
According to co-owner Jeff Taylor, PT s story starts in the early 1990s when he moved back to Topeka from Lewistown, Idaho, where he would often visit a coffee cart down the street from his workplace.
Upon his return to Topeka, Taylor noticed a lack of specialty coffees and coffee shops in the capital city so he decided to change that. I got to a point where it just dawned on me, Taylor said, if no one else was going to do it, I ll open a coffee shop. So I did.
