Topo Designs

Topo Designs began in 2008, when Jedd Rose and Mark Hansen started sewing from a Denver, Colorado basement with little more than a sewing machine. They wanted outdoor gear that was durable, functional and classic, and they drew on the bold, colourful kit they'd grown up using in the '80s and '90s. The label calls its take the "New Outdoors".

Today it makes clothing as well as bags and accessories. The menswear runs from T-shirts, flannels and sweatshirts to jeans, lightweight pants and shorts, plus technical rain and wind jackets. Shirts sit between rugged and refined, so they work round a campfire or on a weekend hike. Materials include organic cotton and recycled nylon.
