I've always wanted to do something special
..I had a dream of playing hockey in the NHL, and I got close. I was drafted to the Colorado Avalanche and won a gold medal with Team Canada. Being in the moment of creation, as a goaltender, was my favourite part. I loved the games, and even practices when I was fully present - just me and the play that was happening, making a huge save, and feeling the rush of giving it everything.
Now, I get to feel a rush on another level. I always wanted to do something special, and ten years ago I bought a sewing machine that I didn’t know how to use, and started sewing Seed’s first designs. What I love about sewing and design now, is the same feeling that I had in hockey - being in the moment of creation, fully present - just me and what’s happening, feeling the rush of giving it everything and producing what I believe is the world’s healthiest clothing. To the creators everywhere, and you reading this, keep the stoke, keep your creative juices flowing, and keep being in the moment.
All my love,
Blake

Hey Blake it’s cool to see your nitch. Cher and I were just reminiscing about the times you were in our lives and googled around till we came across you. Check out our Spring Willow Ranch on Facebook.

Hello
Love the pants and own two: olive with black crotch (older),and recently arrived indigo. I am fixing to buy a third pair.
On the olive pair, the elastic waistband appears to be loosening already. I wash cold and line dry indoors and have really only washed them 10 times or so. What I have considered is placing a drawstring in the waist band.
Have you considered this? I would love it. Perhaps even set up in the style of gi pants so the drawstring is easily accessible/removeable. Some gi pants even use an elasticized drawstring.
Thanks for a great product! looking forward to wearing them as an old man, ha.

Blake! My jaw just dropped. I thought it was an ACTUAL DREAM about wanting to play hockey.
What a life! Good on you for following your passion and bringing SEED clothing to the masses. I own 4 pairs of pants. I love wearing them and even though I’d wear them all
day-every day… I save them for days that I’m not working (hairstylist/colorist), skate boarding or rollerskating in the skateparks because I don’t want to rip them! 😆
Thank you for sharing your story. 🙏🏻

Hi Blake, Thank you for sharing. I just finished a creative project when I decided to check my emails. Your note was there and described exactly what I pulled my head out of. Being totally in the space of what I was creating and giving it my all. Have a lovely weekend, Carla

I have to say I have fallen in love with these pants ❤️
I just received my second pair.
Incredibly well made and thought out.
They keep getting better with each wash and with very little fading of color.
Keep up the solid work.
Cheers 🙏
