Leatherman
This Oregon-based hand tool company has been around for many years and proudly manufactures every product in the USA. Over the past few years, their loyal customer base has asked for apparel. The S Group design team worked closely with the engineers at Leatherman and developed a turbo-charged hoodie and tee shirt that carries the same values as the hand tools. We sourced the finest cotton grown in America and worked with our partners in the Carolinas to convert this into yarns, fabrics, and then finished products. This offering has gone global, and we are proud to see product being exported to major markets around the world.
KUIU
The world’s premier hunting brand recognizes socially responsible hunting habits and innovates every aspect of their product line. KUIU and the S group have collaborated to introduce Training and Base Camp capsules to complement KUIU’s traditional hunt apparel. These lifestyle pieces provide loyalists with on-brand alternatives for daily wear. Following the strict ethos of the brand, these products illustrate functional attributes and enhance the end use of each specific product.
Shred Dog
In the ski industry the children’s sector of the business is typically an afterthought. Shred Dog introduced a collection of products that carried the finest fabrication and exhibited the best in technology for ultimate performance and protection of the elements. The product is also built with an internal system to customize your child’s fit which extends the life of the garments. The brand has recently been chosen to provide their product for a few of the main mountain youth ski teams here on the west coast of the USA.
NASA
With our roots embedded in innovation and technology, we were approached by Nasa to design and develop various outfits for the 2024 planned moon landing. While we are not permitted to go into details, the protocol of product testing is out of this world.
