Sustainability is the complexity of balancing the now with the future. When nature is your reason for being, the impetus for starting your company in the first place, it’s of utmost importance that your business doesn’t jeopardize its existence.
A well-worn jacket is ingrained with memories. It’s also better for the environment. We design our garments and hardware to last – and with your care – for a lifetime, perhaps even longer.

G-1000 is our cornerstone material. We use it in everything from backpacks to jackets and trousers. It’s a densely woven fabric made from 65% polyester and 35% cotton and, by using Greenland Wax, it’s adaptable to a whole variety of different climatic conditions.
