Monica Reyes-Wright
This month we are talking about our technical designer, Monica Reyes-Wright!
Monica has worked for 4T2D/ Fourbital Factory for about two years and has been an important part of the R&D process to get us ready for our outerwear launch! When asked what the best part of her job was, Monica said “I really enjoy digital pattern making and getting collaborative with the prototyping and cutting teams!”
When asked about what she loves about working at 4T2D/Fourbital Factory, the native-Vermonter, Monica, gushed about how great the people are who work here and "it's cool to find fashion work in Burlington." We couldn't agree more! Monica's favorite 4T2D product is our Women's Reversible Shacket because it's a true classic piece for every closet.
Outside of work, you can find Monica hiking Vermont’s beautiful mountains, biking along the Burlington bike path, or walking her beagle mix, Lola. Monica’s favorite thing to do in Vermont is apple picking during the fall foliage season, or spending time outside in the summers when its beautiful! Monica also enjoys the beaches that the Burlington area has to offer as well as the causeway in Colchester!

Men's and Women's Venture Vest
This month we are excited to talk about our first piece from our custom outerwear collection for Men and Women - the Venture Vest! The fully customizable, reversible Venture Vest perfectly combines functionality and fashion.
The Venture Vest allows customers to choose their own colors, designs, and patterns, on each side, as well as the zipper, making each vest truly unique, reflecting on their personal style. With one side being more technical and the other more fashionable, the Venture Vest is perfect any occasion while keeping you comfortable and warm with every wear.
This piece is a great midlayer for those cooler days when you just don't need a coat, but need a little more to stay warm. Depending on your mood, or the outdoor elements, you can reverse your vest to show off your fashionable or your functional side. It is the perfect addition to your fall wardrobe. Embrace your own personal style and unmatched versatility with our Men's and Women's Venture Vest.
Behind vermont lines:
Colchester Causeway
One of Monica's most favorite Vermont spots is the Colchester Causeway!
The Colchester Causeway, also known as The Island Line Trail, is a gravel trail that extends out onto Lake Champlain and offers spectacular views of both the Adirondacks and the Green Mountains. The trail is perfect for gravel biking but can also be used as a walking and running trail. The causeway is roughly 14 miles out-and-back and is a relatively flat path with little to no elevation gain.
The Colchester Causeway leads you all the way from Burlington to South Hero Island, which is lovely to explore in the warmer months. In the Fall months, the leaf-peeping views are unmatched with both the Green Mountain and Adirondack views on each side. Regardless of when you go there, you are guaranteed gorgeous views of the lake and surrounding mountains!
With its latest designation as a Vermont State Park, the trails are kept in a good state, making a visit here a great experience in the Summer and Fall months.
