Camo is back in a limited run.
A few familiar patterns — Woodland, Tiger Stripe, Multicam Black, and Desert Night — across chest packs, organizers, backpacks, haulers, and large zip pouches.
Camo has always been something we come back to. Not constantly, and not in every release, but it’s remained part of the brand over time.
Also restocking a small run of Engimono metal patches and patch panels. Available now at
Meet the 45L and 90L Gear Haulers — your new go-to for everything bulky. Made for road trips, grocery runs, moving, beach picnics, camping adventures, or just everyday hauls… these make awkward, heavy loads effortless to carry.
Not the flashiest gear in your collection, but the one you end up reaching for every single time. Most people end up grabbing both sizes once they try them. You’ll see why!
We’ve dropped them in limited quantities before and the customer reaction was incredible. We decided to give them their own proper launch just in time for the good weather. Better stock and variety, made just for you.
We’re opening up the warehouse today.
30% off select items, in limited quantities.
This past week we cleaned and reset the space during our break, and it became clear we need to make room for what’s next. That means letting go of some of our favorite pieces currently in production or recently completed.
These will return to regular pricing after the sale, so it’s a good opportunity to pick up something you’ve been eyeing.
No official end date, just while supplies last.

No launch today! We’re taking a break to catch up on sewing, reset the warehouse, and get things back in order behind the scenes. Feels good to slow down for a second.
We’ll be going live around 12:30pm to hang out and show you what’s going on. See you there!
We’re bringing back our beloved Pendleton plaid wool and blending it with the uncompromising strength of Japanese selvedge denim.
Two iconic fabrics in one. The rich, resilient warmth of American heritage wool meets the dense, character-rich durability of shuttle-loomed Japanese denim. This collection is a heartfelt reflection of Japanese American heritage, blending Pacific Northwest wool traditions with the soul of Japanese craftsmanship.
Today we’re marking Haru Matsuri, the Japanese arrival of spring.
We’ve released a new run of Japanese Indigo fabrics featuring the Sakura pattern, along with our recurring Seigaiha and Asanoha patterns. The collection includes the new 17L Capsule backpack and a selection of our favorites from the rest of our lineup.
We’re thankful to keep building on what we offer and bringing out new products and materials as the season starts. Check them out at
When Dan @sample.matsuda announced another release of his work in black sashi-ori, I asked if he could make one of his slim pouches full clamshell since I mainly used them for EDC. Just got it last week and it’s all that I was hoping for! Fantastic construction, beautiful material, and perfect function. The contrast with the woven material and dyneema is subtle, but striking. This is going down as one of my all-time pouches. Thanks Dan!
Today, we’re launching the vision that inspired the 17L Capsule backpack. Built from 5 oz Dyneema, this is the backpack as originally envisioned - clean lines, futuristic materials, and that unmistakable sci-fi feel. Dyneema delivers extreme lightness and strength while letting the minimalist design shine exactly as intended.
Reintroducing the first backpack in our line-up, the Capsule Backpack returns.
Launched in 2020 with its signature organic capsule shape, this hand-patterned backpack has a sleek sci-fi look that stands apart from typical flat-bottomed bags.
It’s not designed to stand on its own - it’s made to be carried.
Pair it with our new lighter 20mm Fidlock sternum straps, featuring custom Sashiko-inspired patterns.
