What to know about MANASTASH
Seattle roots, Tokyo design since 2005
Founded in 1993 near Washington's Manastash Ridge, the label has been Japan-based since 2005 and now designs out of Tokyo, with a Harajuku store opened in 2023.
Hemp came before it was common
Hemp, organic cotton and recycled fleece have been core materials since the early years rather than a recent sustainability addition.
Mountain shapes cut for the street
Climbing pants, anoraks and pile jackets are the signatures, drawn from technical outdoor patterns but sized looser than hiking gear.
