LOOK BOOK 2021

VOL IV

Authenticity.

 

Bill Damberg, owner of Brightwater Clothing & Gear, is always trying to better his collection. Sometimes, he finds a new brand or two. Other times, his previous discoveries, and the people behind them, still stand head and shoulders above the rest. All of his picks share a common theme – clothing that you’ll love for a long time. Clothing that you’ll want to repair rather than replace. That is, if you can wear it hard enough for it to even need a needle and thread.

 

BRANDS THAT STAND HEAD & SHOULDERS OVER THE REST

PARAJUMPERS

These Anchorage-based first responders need clothes and gear that work in the most remote and hostile areas of the globe. Add in Massimo Rossetti, the Parajumpers Creative Director on the other side of that chance encounter, and you have threads that look every bit as good as they work.
