"Sitka is the Patagonia for millennials"
THE SITKA OUTPOST IS PART RETAIL STORE, AND EQUAL PARTS:
COMMUNITY CENTRE,
EDUCATION HUB,
AND GATHERING PLACE.
Our products are built to last, and inspired by the culture and tradition of the Canadian coast.
Our shop floors display a curated assortment of products that reflect the uniqueness of each community we are in, factoring in climate, environment, locally-made products, community causes, and overall demand.
THE SITKA OUTPOST also provides a place for people to learn about the natural world, engage with knowledgeable staff and find the Sitka goods necessary to explore the great outdoors.
All product elements are designed and considered with clear functional intentions.
Robust standards defined for the quantification of craftsmanship, fit, and longevity.
Guidelines for best practice sustainable raw materials, low impact supply chain, and end of use.
All Sitka products follow our mandate to be designed and manufactured in Canada and USA.
Since 2002, Sitka has generated multi-millions in retail sales, and ranks higher in sales per square foot than some of the most successful retailers in North America. (Source:CRBE) We're excited to share with you Sitka's powerful global community of loyal friends, and our years of experience, to give you a leg up with your Outpost. AND, Sitka doesn't just sell clothing. We combined a for-profit retail/wholesale business and an active non-profit society, because, at our core... we are in business to advocate for the wild places we love.
Sitka’s non-profit organization, Sitka Society for Conservation (SSC), is committed to conserving lands, waters and ensuring the sustainability of communities. Every purchase at a Sitka Outpost will contribute at least 1% For The Planet, which will perpetuate the growth and outreach to prospects of the SSC and its adopted initiatives for each locale.
Environmental stewardship is at the heart of everything we do;
Our vision is to Create a World in Balance.
