"Radical by Design" at Outdoor Retailer Summer Show

For the second time at Outdoor Retailer, Range Magazine offered a design competition called, "Radical by Design - Seal of Approval". The entry closed about a week before the start of the summer show, but the sample I wanted to enter would not be finished by then. After considering I had nothing to lose, I instead entered an illustration of the raincoat I call The Midi Urban Trench. Here's the artwork I sent them:

Needless to say, and much to my surprise, FELLER, along with other super rad outdoor designs, was honored to have won their approval:

Here's the final product hanging in my booth, made just in the nick of time for the show, thanks to my amazing sample maker!

And here's a full list of the winners:
