This has been another exciting week at ASTRAL, in particular because we have started construction of the Greenjacket LE#2.

Here’s some photos of this beauty:

The LE2 was inspired by our affinity for Astrology and features the Big Dipper and the North Star on the Front.  On the back we wanted the LE2 to have some extra planetary appeal so you will notice some  stars, maybe some rings like you would find on Saturn, and yeah…you guessed it, an Alien being.

Now this Alien is not your ordinary extraterrestrial.  Sure he has a ray gun and comes in peace, but did you notice his Evil Space Boots?

Here’s a closer look:

The LE 2 is no longer available (while supplies last)

This week we also had a visit from our buddy Jakub Kaefer who is a professional photographer from Germany.

Here are some fine images he shot of the ASTRAL mothership in Asheville. Check out these dog beds that just came off the production line.

…and here’s one that shows the skilled and steady hands of our sewing staff:

…another look at the Alien with Evil Space Boots… (wait for the file!)

Our embroidery machine has been staying really busy hammering out the LE2:

…and here’s Yonton and Bryan working on some inventory projections for next spring:

Hope you enjoyed this little tour of Astral!
