Assistant Buyer

We spent years searching for a classic jacket that was functional in the field and the city. When we couldn’t find one that we liked, we decided to make our own. Since designing that first Tensaw Jacket in 2015, we’ve continued to draw inspiration from our natural setting to produce classic outdoor equipment with time-tested, rugged materials.
