manastash

Founded in Seattle in 1993 by Robert Jungmann, an avid outdoorsman rooted in the Pacific Northwest, Manastash was born from a desire to create functional apparel using sustainable materials. The brand was an early adopter of eco-friendly textiles like hemp and recycled fleece, inspired by the need to protect the natural environment that its products were designed for. The name itself comes from the Manastash Ridge, a trail system in Washington's Cascade Mountains, reflecting its deep connection to outdoor activities like hiking, climbing, and kayaking. Initially gaining a cult following in Japan for its unique American aesthetic and material choices, the brand was eventually sold and its operations relocated to Tokyo.
