Philadelphia, Amsterdam and Los Angeles, 1994 to 2024. Three companies decide that the way past the middleman is to walk up the chain toward him and keep going — to the farm that grows the coffee, the mill that weaves the cloth, the finisher that hems the sheet. Todd Carmichael and Jean-Philippe Iberti fly to growing countries and buy green coffee at the gate. Fokke de Jong buys Italian cloth and books the cutting himself. Ariel Kaye orders bedding from a Portuguese mill and sells it from a web page. Each of them arrives at the source and finds the same thing waiting: the intermediary was carrying credit, risk, inventory and inspection, and somebody now has to carry them. Covers Todd Carmichael, Jean-Philippe Iberti, Fokke de Jong, Ariel Kaye, La Colombe, Suitsupply, and Parachute.
