About Buff

Buff makes multifunctional neckwear and headwear, and it began with a motorcyclist's problem. Founder Joan Rojas was touring the country roads of Catalonia on his motorcycle and wanted something to protect him from the sun, wind and cold. After plenty of sketching and research, he settled on a seamless microfibre tube. He made the first prototypes at his family's knitting factory just outside Barcelona, in an area known for textile manufacturing. In 2002 the company moved into a new 8,000 square metre factory in the same town, where it still works today. It can be worn in a variety of ways on and around the head, and it is made with outdoor people in mind.
