You Helped Us Surprise All Of Our Employees 

Heck yeah guys. Sometimes buying Origin products has been hard on me financially, but I considered it an investment in both myself and in America, and this is proof that it's worth every penny. Love yall

I'd rather buy something made in America, by Americans, even if it is more expensive. Love yall at Origin. Thank you all for all your hard work

this is the most important uncut episode so far, its not about jiu jitsu or hunting. its about the American people!

I wish half the CEOs in America cared this much about their employees as Origin does…

500-600 employees. OUTSTANDING! Our family and military friends will continue to support you!

A lot of companies are offering $1000 bonuses. People got lost from the marketplace with all the restrictions the last years. The pay increase is beautiful as a reward for all the growth over the years and dedication by the workers.

Seeing the folks that make the stuff and how my money is supporting them really makes buying from Origin worth it

"You can't make everybody happy, but you can always make the right choice".

The higher the climb, the stronger the temptation to slip! Character and honor from origin today!

Just for amazing math that’s 6k/year per person at 600 employees. Origin just took $3,000,000 and change and gave it BACK to their employees. That’s the most boss shit I’ve ever seen.

If you build it they will come! Hell yeah, I can't get over what Origin is doing for the American Dream. I can't wait to hear Pete saying we are raising the bar for employees and be the highest paying factory jobs with great products that last.

What Origin has done and continues to do is an amazing example of doing the right thing. Let’s bring American manufacturing back!

This is one of the many reasons I buy Origin. Maine is my second home and I love my country

Chills. This is a brand I’m proud to support.

In a time when most companies are cutting more and more, and expecting their employees to over acheive with less and less pay/support/security. It's a breath of fresh air to see a company taking care of it's people. Respect

Much love from west coast Pete and Amanda! 💪🍻

I love supporting an American company that supports it employees! Enjoy seeing the smiles of everyone and I will continue to support them thru the purchases I make 👍🏻

Pete Roberts is changing the world, and I can't wait to see what he does next.

This is why I love Origin. I purchased the nano Pearl day 1 because not only is it made in America, it’s better quality than any other gi I’ve had. I messed up and ordered the wrong size pants, and the customer service at Origin made it right without charging me extra for the screw up. Keep going strong guys

"Spend a little more in the store for a tag in the back that says USA!" - Toby Keith. I loved seeing this and I will continue to support this company with my purchases. I feel better today putting on my American made jeans knowing that down the line I'm supporting American lives.

Amazing! This makes me proud to buy Origin products. I bought my dad a Heavy Hoodie for his birthday and he was obsessed with it; couldn't stop raving about it for weeks. And then told me to get him one in another color for his next birthday. Mind you, this is from someone who always gets mad when people gets him gifts and tells us not to waste our money on anything.

Love wearing my Origin gear and telling the story of made in America. I'll be making another order next week.

Just makes me that much more happy that I'm buying Origin products 🙏

it’s good to see that absolute raise in wages for everyone…if i ever cut ties with my current employer, i guess i’ll be hitching it up to maine

Keep this mentality and Origin will be here forever. The PEOPLE are the most important. So proud to support this company and their accomplishments.

Makes me feel even better about buying our product.......and its not just a product its America...and Im proud to be a part of that....

It means a lot to us consumers to see our dollars go to a company that cares but more importantly to see the employees that our dollars are helping! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I teared up watching this. I grew up in a rural area that was largely forgotten by politicians and corporations, and I know how much this raise helps those people and their families. I could not be prouder to support your brand and your mission.

You know Pete might abuse his elderly father in law from time to time, but he still gets a thumbs up in my book. 😊

So awesome. This is a brand we can all get behind.

Amazing! This is why we support you !

Way to lead, Pete! Keep up the great work. I will pay more for Origin for this very reason. U.S.A. God Bless Origin, and God Bless America!

RESPECT! I will pay top dollar even when it’s hard to support this mission. Great work

Inspiring. Keep kick’n ass!

Man, I love this company.

If only more companies saw this video. Can't say I feel that here. Good job.

Right on! Thank you for having faith and manufacturing excellent USA made products.

Man 2 years ago I bought 2 pairs of your factory jeans and I was quite pleased with them. A year ago I purchased 2 pairs of D68 jeans and I have to say that they are absolutely hands down the most comfortable things that I have ever worn. I bought the first 2 pair only because of Peter and Amanda's vision and Maine had everything to do with it as I was born and raised in this great state. It's just amazing the entire organization and how much they realize the importance of the fact that they are only as good as the people around them. So proud that you are a Maine based company and I preach about you every day and I am totally proud to strap you quality products on my body. Keep up the great work you people are what this country needs more of and you should be very proud of all you have accomplished

A growing company not becoming disconnected from their employees is amazing to see. They are truly rebuilding America and giving back to communities/people across the country

This is awesome. Origin you guys are the real deal!

It is so refreshing to see a company, that cares just as much about their employees as they do their mission! You are a shining example to all! Keep up the good work!

Thank you Origin for having a business that is still and always will be AMERICAN MADE!

Way to give back to the employees! Love to see it.

Fuck yeah. Nothing more important than supporting those who support fellow brothers and sisters under these stars a stripes. Thank you, everyone!

Makes me even prouder of every piece of Origin clothing I have bought. I will continue to buy. Hopefully, more companies follow. Thank you to every employee!!

This is EXACTLY why I bought my Origin boots and belt. This is the way back for American manufacturing and proving that it can be done, treat your employees right and you get the best products from them. Love what Origin is doing.

Glad to see my money well spent

Thank you Pete and Amanda for providing your wonderful employees a great and profitable culture to thrive in. And thank you for providing your customers with American made products of the highest quality ! May Origin continue to grow !!!

So amazing to see this and to see employees' reactions! Heck, I was tearing up and I'm just watching on RU-vid. Keep doing amazing things!

Legit .... Stand up folks. Backbone of America.... Buy Origin people !

Literally the best surprise any factory worker could expect from their employer, and they just got it😮

This. Is. Awesome! A couple videos ago when you asked what we wanted to see I said a deeper look into what Origin has done for Farmington, and surrounding communities. You can see in the faces, emotions, and loyalty of the great employees what Origin has meant to the area. Well done! Changing the landscape of American manufacturing and fighting tooth and nail to revitalize the industry and show it can be done!

It's easy for leadership to say their company is something special, but it's another thing for employees to truly believe in the company and what they are doing. This video captures what Origin employees really think. Kudos Origin, you are truly a cut above the rest and I'm proud to buy your products!

Very well said!

Origin is a trendsetter and a company with vision bringing back hope that made in the USA still stands proud!

I love that every employee is going to go home and tell their families a positive message about hard work, being a part of growing team and America and its potential. Great stuff!

LOVE THIS! Proud to support this company!

Oh man, y’all made a me cry! When an employer depends on the employee to make him money, and realizes that without his employee, he can not succeed without his employee or make that money. Then rewards that employee with love, respect and honor, that’s huge! American made to boot! Respect, much Respect!

Awesome. The reaction by the employees is priceless. Makes me want to work at Origin.

WOW!!!!! I remember buying the gi from when Origin was BJJ Weekly! And now, 5 or 600 employees??? GOOD FOR YOU ALL!!!!! And what a great thing Pete's done for legit "doing the right thing", and bringing craftsmanship back, in a meaningful way. I'm thrilled to be a customer from the start; and I'm looking forward to remaining a loyal customer. Exactly because of what was said in this video. Way to go Origin!

I don’t comment much on anything but this was beautiful. I love what you guys are doing and I will definitely support by buying your products.

Everyone needs to hear what Pete has to say.

Love this company. Love the mission. I am happy for the people!

Proud supporter of origin. I own multiple gi’s and jeans. Much love from a Union Ironworker

Badass!! I think Origin is just getting started!🇺🇸

Inspiring. I want to be able to take care of folks like that some day. Thank you for blazing a trail.

Incredible! Makes me want to support this brand even more!

Love keeping my dollars in the US and supporting American workers! Love all my Origin gear, boots, jeans and camo. Keep up the great work!

Good on you Pete! Keep it up

Bravo. Truly… Bravo!

I love seeing what you guys are doing for America and the American worker. Origin customer for life!

North America is not dead. We allowed companies to lull us away from what we loved to do, and loved who we worked next to and who we worked for, but no more. Take back every job we let walk away from these shores, and bring it back. Companies like Origin should be seen as the beacon of light and truth that manufacturers should be building and paying here, not in countries that don’t care about it’s people’s quality of life. No more.

This should also be implemented at the North Carolina factory. As far as I know the pay is not equal. 😢 I do pray that good changes will come upon us North Carolinian’s employees!!❤

What a beautiful moment- recognizing the people and hard work they do. Awesome stuff.

This makes me even more proud to be a customer and follower. Long live the American dream 🇺🇸🇺🇸 💪💪

Just one more reason why I buy from Origin. God bless Pete and the entire Origin family! 🇺🇸

Wow! Thank you for sharing a glimpse of how you conduct business and take care of your people.

Never wanted to support a company more than Origin USA!

This is fantastic! Well done, Origin!

you all keep being the becon of light. Godseped and absolutely keep making American made awesomeness. Love all of my BJJ gear from y'all.

This is so awesome to see from an American Made business

And that my friends is why I pay a few extra dollars for Origin gear. American made, by American workers. ❤️🇺🇸

Love you guys! Love your mission! It got really dusty in here for some reason…. Or maybe it’s allergies…

Origin . . . You're dangerously close to restoring my faith in the country I still love. Thank you!!!

This. This is what a great mission and great determination can render when pursued with relentless passion.

It's amazing to see a company care for its employees the way Origin does!

Grandpa Bill , just casually being the best employee. Awesome guy hard worker, glad to know him and the family. They got me into Origin when I moved up here. Origin Rocks ❤ will always buy from them.

Touching and inspiring, I work for an American based chocolate company and know first hand how hard operating a supply chain in the United States can be, the challenges from equipment management, staffing, tolling, fulfilment, inventory management, etc. - But this is truly what it takes to become something great. Inspiring, ignites the American spirit that has been missing for years - See you at the top!

Good job Origin! Taking care of America by taking care of your people.

Glad to see it, you guys make awesome stuff. I love your Gi's and my god the joggers and hoodies are literally the most comfortable sweats I've ever worn. Keep up the great work!

Y'all are the luckiest workers I've seen... I'd give anything to work for a company like this😭 I am truly happy for all of you hourly employees... Y'all are SOOO fortunate! God bless this company🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Great stuff Origin! The Real American People

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 That’s why you are the only clothing company I will give my money to. You can just tell in the quality of the products that the workers take their jobs serious. Congrats on the success so far and the success that is yet to come.

Love to see American companies taking care of their own and everyone going above and beyond. Looking forward to seeing Origin grow

Wow. Love the commitment to being the best employers.

Peter, this is awesome. Good for you! Congrats to all the employees.

I love this. I totally bought into the mission when I first learned about you and the quality of goods are great. I’ve been replacing all my jeans with yours and can’t wait to get some boots!! If you guys were in Cali I would definitely look for a job with you guys!

While other companies do stock buy backs and stupid huge bonuses and salaries to executive leadership---Origin gives back to their employees. Beautiful to see

Outstanding! Good on you Origin!

Hell frickin ya, you guys make it so easy to support you. Keep doing what you're doing!
