From the looks of a post on Shayboarder.com we can add eesa Lux Layering to the list of failed first layer companies:
In 2004 Stephen Cleary set out to create a layering company that worked on the slopes and looked good off the slopes, that company was eesa lux layering. . . it’s become time that the doors are closing at eesa and for Stephen Cleary to take a better opportunity that has come his way.
If we ignore the whole “death of a dream” thing, what this means to us is amazing deals on essa’s super smooth first layer gear and socks. Dive in. Most of it is under $10 and socks are under $5. Feeding frenzy.

closing your doors and failing are two completely different animals. cleary and team closed their doors with their heads held high: no bankrupt company, unpaid employees, stiffed sales reps or jacked dealers. the man simply moved onto another opportunity. full story to be coming soon.
f
cleary is a man of ethics-and a ripper. i’d do business with that guy any day. best of luck in your new venture (md?-better get back out to utah soon.)!
Industry hype does not mean shit.
eesa was my second client when we officially launched. Cleary’s a genuinely good guy and in an industry where people talk sh*T like it’s the new black, I’ve never heard anyone say a bad thing about the guy. eesa had a lot of the same challenges most start-ups face, but Cleary always had a smile when I saw him. Oh, he’s pretty smart too.
I was bummed when he told me that he’d be moving on, but stoked for the opportunities ahead for him and his family in the mid-atlantic region.
Definitely didn’t fail but moving onto better things. I love eesa but I’m stoked for Cleary too. Looking forward to Hoon’s story.
