Customizable and Reversible Outerwear

We are excited to be introducing our brand-new Vermont-made outerwear, the Valor Vest, Journey Jacket, and Crossover Coat available for both men and women!

Our versatile Valor Vest features waterproof regenerated nylon on one side, providing robust protection against the elements during
unpredictable weather, and a warm wool and recycled polyester high pile fleece on the reverse, offering comfort when it counts. This Vermont-made vest is both reversible and completely customizable, providing two different personalized jackets in one. Designed with a helmet-compatible hood and a high collar that zips up to your nose, this vest ensures maximum coverage against the cold. With a longer fit than our traditional Venture Vest, it’s ideal for layering over your go-to mid-layers, the Valor Vest delivers the ultimate blend of warmth and weather resistance.

Our Journey Jacket is a one-of-a-kind jacket that’s reversible and customizable, giving you two personalized jackets in one. With different color and print velvet options to choose between for both sides, this jacket gives you all the creative freedom. These made in Vermont jackets have a shorter, boxier fit, with the bottom hitting at the hips, giving plenty of room for layering and great for those who prefer their jackets to be less formfitting. There are many features with this jacket; from a high neck that zips all the way up to keep you warm to reversible pockets and waterproof zippers that offer protection from the elements to both you and your personal effects.

The Crossover Coat provides two personalized coats in one, being both reversible and fully customizable, allowing you to make a coat that’s specifically yours. This versatile coat features tough, regenerated nylon on one side, providing robust protection against the elements, while the reverse side boasts premium Italian cotton moleskin, offering a touch of luxury and warmth. The adjustable, helmet-compatible hood and high collar that zips up to your nose ensure added protection on brisk days. This coat is a bit more form-fitting and has features like waterproof zippers and multiple pockets, including a few hidden ones. Whether you're navigating the city or escaping to the outdoors, the Crossover Coat is your go-to for staying sharp and comfortable, no matter the conditions.
