NAN SHEPHERD — The Living Mountain
Written in the 1940s about being in a mountain rather than conquering it. The finest argument against summit-thinking ever made.
HESTRA — Deerskin Gloves
Family-owned in Sweden since 1936. Deerskin because it moulds to a hand and keeps working wet.
STEINER — Loden Cape
Austrian loden, boiled and fulled until it turns weather. Nobody in American outdoor retail is drawing on this tradition.
STANLEY — Classic Vacuum Bottle
The green bottle, unchanged in silhouette since 1913. It predates everything the brand has since become.
ROROS TWEED — Wool Blanket
Norwegian lambswool from a mill on the edge of the mountains. Contemporary pattern, ancient logic.
