Ira Schwartz, CEO of Free Country, joins Cheddar to talk about some of the recent trends in the outerwear industry, one being cost. Schwartz talks about how Free Country is competing with mainstream names such as North Face and Canada Goose.
He talks about the price dislocation within the outerwear space. His mission is to keep most Free Country products under $100, so the average American doesn't need to break the bank.
