A Word From Our Sponsor: Nau Open

nauopen_1.jpgI always wake up early in the mountains. Whether in a tent, a cabin or a condo, there’s something about the promise of the coming day that sets my synapses to firing. I roll over, and through the mesh or glass, watch the light play on stones, on snow. I love these moments of possibility, when the as-yet unformed day lies open to be imagined.

I woke up early this morning too, to the gray light of a Portland dawn. After a few weeks of winter rain, the skies cleared this weekend: an auspicious backdrop to the adventure we’re launching on here today. It’s an exciting moment, when you shake off the covers and begin something you’ve planned for months – for years. And while what lies in store today isn’t quite a bluebird powder day, it’s pretty cool.

So check it out. Nau is open for business.

- Alex

    This is very exciting. I’ve been waiting for a while now and will also be quite glad to visit the store in Chicago once it opens.

    I’m pleased to see the prices are affordable, reflective and in line for such products.

    Congratulations.

  5. Matt MacGillivray Says:

    The site certainly looks amazing. The imagery and transitions give quite an experience. I have been checking daily and am excited to see it up.

    When you ship to Canada, I will certainly be supporting the cause. Until then, I’m a word of mouth supporter. Keep up the good work!

  6. Heidi Says:

    I like what you’re doing, but I can’t participate, since you have sizes that only go up to XL or 14. Too bad I can’t go back to age 14, the age I was when that size.

  7. matt Says:

    a lot of build up for little show and a site that crashes my browser

    Matt,

    Can you do us a favor and let us know what browser you were on, PC or Mac and your operating system? Thanks.

    Hey Alex - Congratulations on the launch! We like your blog, and what nau is all about. btw, we featured you all on our new blog, http://www.alternativeconsumer.com/
    best wishes!

    Hey guys - congrats on the launch. the website and the clothing look marvelous.

  11. Mark Gamba Says:

    Hi Guys, Congrats! I’m so excited that you’re open. Here’s hoping you change the world with your concepts. Wonderful initial offerings. I have one slightly negative comment. Please don’t make the same mistake that Patagonia did for years and assume that all men are short stubby legged types. Please make some tall sizes for those of us of superior stature. :)

  12. Gerard Says:

    You guys need more color options for your clothes.

  13. Ian Says:

    Gerard,

    Thanks for your suggestion. We’ll be adding a color drop in summer and the color choices expand when we get to the fall season.

    Ian
