Layering Season (aka Most of the Year)

In the Pacific Northwest, dressing for the weather rarely means dressing for one temperature. Mornings are cold. Afternoons soften. Wind shows up unannounced. Fog lingers. Sun breaks through when you least expect it.

This is what we think of as layering season.
Which, around here, is most of the year.

Baselayers—sometimes called long johns, thermal layers, or everyday lounge layers—are where our uniform begins. They aren’t meant to stand out or demand attention. They’re designed to work quietly, closest to the body, supporting everything layered on top.

A good baselayer does more than keep you warm. It regulates temperature, moves with you, and feels comfortable enough to live in all day. Ours are soft without being flimsy, lightweight with substance, and breathable enough to wear indoors while still providing warmth when you step outside. Think of them as the bridge between sleepwear, loungewear, and everyday clothing.

These are pieces you can wear as long johns under pants in colder weather, as a layering top beneath sweaters and jackets, or simply on their own at home. Easy enough to sleep in. Comfortable enough to lounge in. Refined enough to leave the house without changing.

We design our layering pieces to work across seasons. Thin enough to tuck under denim, canvas, or wool. Strong enough to wear alone. They’re built for stacking without bulk—adding a sweater in the morning, shedding a layer mid-day, pulling on a jacket when the air shifts again.

Our baselayers and lounge layers are made for real life: slow mornings, long walks, ferry decks, trailheads, workdays at home, and evenings that stretch on. Breathable when you’re moving. Warm when you’re still. Designed to be worn often, washed less, and lived in fully.

Layering season isn’t about extremes—it’s about the in-between.
The shifting light. The changing air. The days that call for comfort, flexibility, and ease.

That’s where these pieces belong.
At the foundation of the uniform.
At the beginning of the day.
