As for their signature floral patterns, Ron says "we were doing this way before the heavy pattern all-over prints, and we wanted to make something that wasn't a fleece sweatshirt, so we just went fabric shopping. We made some samples and rocked them around L.A. and people went crazy!  So that was it."  

Pen jumps in with "we only had one store that was down with us then and it was Union in SoHo, so we would just pack these old fashioned suit cases we had full of our gear and hoodies and hit up events in the city.  Because he was on the West Coast at the time and I was out here, people really thought were some major operation."

The designs above and below are all for fall, and it’s the most they've ever designed for a single season.  Ron says "we've got woven, fleece jackets, cotton waterproof wax jackets, rugbys, sweaters and knits, t-shirts, and hats."  According to Pen "the inspiration for this line was 1920s vintage collegiate- old football jerseys, stripes down the sleeves, baseball jerseys, baseball jackets, and a varsity sweater. But we kept it all modern."

  Look for this new collection in stores this coming autumn.  For more, visit leroyjenkinslimited.com.
