THE BEGINNINGS
Pac Nor Westy was founded in 2017. We started designing our own tees when we couldn't find ones that captured the essence of our PNW adventures. We also discovered a lot of seemingly "nature loving" clothing brands were selling apparel that was anything but eco-friendly or ethically sourced.
Since our start in 2017, Pac Nor Westy has expanded our focus to include designs rooted in outdoor exploration and adventure. We seek to capture the essence of "living the Northwest". We have continued our commitment to eco-friendly and ethically-produced goods. We love bringing themes of nature together in creative ways to celebrate an authentic, adventurous life.
A COMMUNITY OF ADVENTURERS
Who are our people? They are lovers of the outdoors. They're explorers of the land, sea, and sky. They're stewards of the earth and lovers of nature. They thrive on the adrenaline of adventure and making memories with friends. Outdoor adventures may not happen every day, but it doesn't stop their dreaming and wanderlust.
OUR ETHOS
Some of the ways we strive to ensure our brand reflects our commitment to nature and small businesses include:
Ethical Manufacturing: We source from vendors committed to ethical manufacturing practices. We are committed to putting human rights ahead of profit. Our clothing is produced in WRAP certified facilities.
Environmental Responsibility: Our apparel is produced using eco-conscious production practices. Our manufacturing partners use production methods that conserve water and limit pollutants from entering the environment. We print our goods with water-based inks, which are more eco-friendly than petroleum-based inks.
Small-batch Artisans: We work with other small-batch artisans who handcraft unique goods that reflect our brand mission. We love a good story about a small business owner turning dreams into reality. That's why we go out of our way to support other small businesses.
