GQ: You guys are brothers. When it comes to both the creative aspect and the business end, who is responsible for what? How do you divide and conquer?

** Jamie Cormack:** We split and define our roles based on each other's strongest assets. I take care of the design and production side of the brand, while Lyndon takes care of sales, marketing and operations.

GQ: You've grown fast - real fast. How do you keep up with the recent amount of steadfast growth?

** Lyndon Cormack:** Our strategic forecasting, planning, and the help from the people that we have makes it possible to ecute on a timely basis. We are working hard to create an office and culture where people love to come to work and collaborate with everyone involved.

GQ: What's it about your products that are unique? In some ways, or in my opinion at least, you seem to embed every product with a little bit of T.L.C... and dope designs.

** Jamie Cormack:** It is our ability to modernize our product in a nostalgic way and to not just re-create product from the past. We ask ourselves questions like how are people going to use the products? Who is carrying the product? What are they putting in? What are they interested in? Our tailored approach to design and working ourselves backwards enables us to create that specific product that the end consumer is going to naturally move towards which is due to how much reverse engineering we have done along the way.

Lyndon Cormack: Also, our agreement with manufacturing partners lets us throw stuff at the wall to see if it sticks. In other words, we put out designs that we know will never make it as a top seller but this helps tell the story of the brand and really allows us to experiment. This whole process allows us to implement a new feature on a bag, which may end up being the result on one of our next best sellers.

GQ: I know you guys are working on some really cool things - like an exclusive selection of 3 computer sleeves for Apple. Can you tell me a little bit about this?

** Lyndon Cormack:** We have had the tremendous opportunity to become a vendor of Apple and have been working closely with their buying team to put products in their store that are exclusive to apple. These products have our Herschel Supply DNA, which allows the protection for Apple products within our product. We are remarkably passionate about apple products and very proud to be a vendor of theirs. We will continue to innovate, design, refine, and bring the unexpected out, offering new products while consistently updating functionality.

GQ: You also recently launched a collaboration with Mark McNairy - the ultimate badass. How did this collaboration take place?

** Jamie Cormack:** Of course, we are inspired by the projects he's involved with on a day to day basis as well as his work with his own label. It was a no-brainer if we had the opportunity to work with him. In the end, we built an 800 denier, cordura branded backpack with thick, genuine leather. From a distance away the bag will just look like a typical Herschel supply backpack. Look a little closer and you will notice the leather detailing and heavy weight woodland camo cotton liner that exceeds our regular construction. This bag has those small touches that not everyone will appreciate, but mark McNairy and Herschel supply's discerning customers will definitely value.
