Today's gear, even the moderately priced stuff, offers absolute performance right off the shelf. What's more impressive is how easy it is to get to market.  A single mouse 'click' exports a pattern to a monstrous factory, where most production garments receive less hands-on time than a burrito. All that efficiency comes at the cost of longevity. After decades of repairs, we've replaced a few miles of zippers and reapplied rolls of seam tape. We've also watched nylon and polyester fabrics shed their coatings, fray at the seams, and rot from UV exposure. By default or by design, there is a planned obsolescence to synthetics at the genetic level.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.   It's cheap enough, isn't it?    

Plenty of barn coats, campfire tents, and wool pants have come through our doors. Some of them older than us. But they have patches, fresh stitching on their seams, and shiny new grommets. There are great role models out there for a company like ours.

Our warranty is simple. We try to make clothing right in the first place, so we'll promise make it right again if you find a functional problem. If one of our garments goes wonky because of the way we built it, we'll fix it or replace it for free. Movable components will wear out first, but we're happy to sell you a few extras with your purchase. Wear and tear are expected. Our clothing will die...eventually. We're here to repair it at a reasonable rate until then.

We use natural fibers and hides, so we're going to incorporate their personality into our work. You'll see range marks on our leather, odd yarns in our canvas, and wild hairs in our wool because we won't waste good material. Forget the Technicolor perfection you've come to expect from stores. Our stuff was absorbing sunlight and chewing plants in the last decade, not bubbling in prehistoric limbo.  

Nature has its quirks. So do we. We're not afraid to run over a seam twice, and work a scar into the back of a mitten thumb if it doesn't affect the durability. Every hand crafted garment we make is flawed in some way, and no two will be identical. If we ever stitch something that is cosmetically perfect, it was not intentional.

If you're unsatisfied with your purchase, you may return it unused  within 30 days for a full refund.
