Rumors have been running since last month that new Black Box Distribution CEO/Partner Frank Messman would find a way to “grow the business” at Jamie Thomas’ warehouse but some are finding it a mystery that they have fallen off the street and become slaves to surf fashion with zero hesitation. That appears to be the case according to a Tiffany Montgomery story on Shop-eat-surf.com.
Carlsbad-based Black Box will be responsible for the sales and distribution of Insight in the U.S. – essentially backend operations. The Insight USA team will remain in charge of marketing and product and keep their offices in Los Angeles. The Insight sales management team will also work in Los Angeles. . . Black Box owner and President Jamie Thomas said he has admired Insight for awhile and described it as “the coolest apparel brand out there.” . . . “I appreciated the originality and rawness of the brand,” Jamie said. “I personally found it inspiring.”
Fear not men of North County, your women are safe for the time being. Insight USA President Jesse Faen will reportedly be staying in Los Angeles.

Fallen flip flops on the way? Killa bra…shaaakka!
I think ken Block above is really Don Brown. And I’d rather have them doing that and survive than not be around for the future. The real question is how long will Frank Messman survive at Black Box. History tells us that he’ll be gone not too long after the ink on the Insight deal is dry.
