FOR BUILT TO LAST
BY FEW WILL HUNT
"THE GRIND OF YOUR HARD WORK,
THE CRUSH OF YOUR FAILURE,
THE PRESSURE OF YOUR RISK,
AND THE FIRE OF YOUR PAIN."
THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE DESIGN
FROM JOEY, COFOUNDER OF FEW WILL HUNT:
I LIVE IN AN OLD, BRICK HOUSE.
AND BY OLD, I MEAN OVER 100 YEARS OLD.
IT WAS BUILT IN THE 1920S
WHEN THEY BUILT THE PHILADELPHIA MUSEUM OF ART
JUST BLOCKS AWAY.
EVERYBODY THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY WHEN I BOUGHT IT...
EXCEPT MY DAD.
HE SAID THIS SIMPLE THING ABOUT MY DECISION:
"YOU'RE BUYING BRICKS. DO IT."
HE WAS REFERRING TO THE
SOLID BRICK EXTERIOR OF THE HOUSE.
IT TOOK TIME TO BUILD,
AND WAS BUILT TO LAST...
TO STAND STRONG FOR DECADES —
TO WITHSTAND FIRE, WINDS, IMPACT, SOUND,
AND ANYTHING ELSE THE WORLD WOULD THROW AT IT.
FAST FORWARD TO A COLD JANUARY MORNING THIS YEAR,
I SAT SKETCHING NEW TEES FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
I STARED IN SILENCE AT MY EXPOSED BRICK KITCHEN WALL
AND IT HIT ME.
YOU AND I BUILT SOMETHING SPECIAL,
BRICK BY BRICK,
OVER THE PAST HALF-DECADE.
THE FEW WILL HUNT MOVEMENT
DREW AND I LAID ITS FIRST COURSE OF BRICKS,
BUT, YOU, AS ONE OF THE FEW,
JOINED US TO LAY YOUR BRICKS UPON IT, TOO.
YOUR BRICKS, MADE OF
THE GRIND OF YOUR HARD WORK,
CRUSH OF YOUR FAILURE,
PRESSURE OF YOUR RISK, AND
FIRE OF YOUR PAIN.
YOU, ME, AND THE FEW —
WE EARNED OUR BRICKS
AND WE LAID THEM,
ONE AT A TIME OVER TIME,
TO BUILD OUR HOUSE —
THE HOUSE OF THE FEW —
THE HOUSE OF HARD WORK.
YOU WILL FIND NO COMFORT INSIDE...
BUT YOU WILL FIND OUR
UNMISTAKABLE,
UNRELENTING, AND
UNMATCHED COMMUNITY
WHO IS BUILT TO LAST
AND WHOSE IMPACT
WILL STAND THE TEST OF TIME.
