BUILT TO LAST Origins The inspiration behind the Lichen Shirt finds its roots in the rugged grandeur of the Mountain Range. As a tribute to the intrepid mountain explorers of a bygone era, we've crafted a piece that encapsulates their indomitable spirit. In those days, when the allure of rock climbing held the collective imagination in its sway, a subculture of adventure and ingenuity blossomed. Climbers, driven by an unwavering ethos, scoured army surplus stores and thrift shops, guided by a clear mantra: they would adapt what they had and create what they lacked. Amid the array of essentials that shielded these pioneering mountain men from the harshest elements, a hardwearing shirt was essential. In crafting the Lichen Shirt, we pay homage to the very spirit of camaraderie and daring exploration that defined these fearless souls.
