Heavyweight sherpa fleece with Asian-inspired styling
A fun fact about the Pinesdale is that it's inspired by KAVU's foray into the Japanese market. It's got a slightly different style to some of their other stuff, and we love it. Built in heavyweight 15oz high pile sherpa fleece, perhaps the most eye-catching feature is the jacket-style tulip bottom hem that curves upwards towards the zip. The fit is relaxed with gusseted underarms and elastic-enclosed cuffs, and the block colour panels give it a nice dash of retro charm. Open it up, and you'll see the Pinesdale has some clever little touches inside. The front is lined with windproof stretch taffeta, while the back features a more breathable polyester mesh to keep you comfortable when you start to warm up.

Now here’s an origin story for you. Back in the early nineties, fishing boat skipper Barry Barr was fed up with wearing cheap trucker caps that got snatched off his head in storms, never to be seen again. He decided to make a super-durable cap that wouldn’t blow off whatever the weather, and he did it by stitching the webbing material from a Teva sandal all the way around the crown. Turned out his ‘Strapcap’ was a hit, and KAVU was born.
From humble beginnings flogging Strapcaps out of the boot of his car in Seattle, Barry’s since expanded to produce a whole array of durable outdoor kit with a laid-back, van-lifer vibe. The KAVU range takes in everything from sling bags to swim shorts, and while they’re serious about producing great gear that’s made to last, they’re also not afraid to have a laugh. Their prints are bold, playful, and in some cases so loud that they’ll take some considerable chutzpah to carry off – but that’s what makes them so much fun.
And if you’re wondering about the name, KAVU is an aviation acronym that stands for ‘klear above, visibility unlimited’. It means it’s a perfect day for an adventure.
