Why We Exist
We exist to create clothing that helps reduce pollution, connect people with nature and protect it for the future.
What Makes Us Special
We harness the benefits of knitwear for modern life outside.
Precision knit-to-shape manufacturing drives our product design, allowing us to engineer garments by adjusting stitch patterns, yarn blends, and fabric density.
This approach lets us build warmth, breathability, stretch, or airflow exactly where it is needed. The result is versatile clothing engineered for different climates and activities that transitions seamlessly between everyday life and time spent outdoors.
Origin Story
Abode Outside is a Minnesota based, family owned outdoor clothing brand inspired by camping trips into the Boundary Waters. Founded by a former Wilderness First Responder, the company was built on the belief that clothing can play a meaningful role in connecting people with nature and improving the world around us.
Early family trips into the Northwoods sparked a deep love for the outdoors that grew over time and eventually evolved into Abode Outside. Today, the brand is built around clothing designed for modern outdoor life, where versatility, comfort, and responsible production matter more than ever.
At Abode Outside you will find:
- Less waste and pollution in every style
- Versatile clothing that works across climates and activities
- Natural and responsibly sourced yarns
- Biodegradable and recyclable packaging
- A solar powered headquarters in Minnesota
- 1% of every order donated to protecting America’s wilderness
Abode Outside exists to help people spend more time outside with clothing designed to perform across everyday life, travel, and time in nature while leaving a lighter footprint on the places we all depend on.
We believe a cleaner, healthier planet begins with a stronger human connection to the natural world.
When people spend time outside regularly, even through small everyday activities, they start to see themselves as part of nature rather than separate from it. That shift in perspective matters. People are far more likely to care for and protect the environment when they feel personally connected to it.
Abode Outside exists to support and accelerate that connection. Our clothing is designed to transition seamlessly between everyday life and time outdoors, making it easier for people to walk, hike, bike, travel, and explore more often. Through versatile, outdoor functional garments built with lower pollution materials and thoughtful construction, we encourage more frequent and meaningful time outside.
This connection to nature is not just the inspiration behind Abode Outside. It is the foundation that guides how we design our products and how we think about the role clothing can play in building a healthier relationship between people and the planet.
Engineered Knitwear for Life Outside
At Abode Outside, our product design is centered around knitwear.
Knitwear allows garments to be precisely engineered rather than simply assembled. By adjusting stitch structures, yarn blends, and fabric density, we can design clothing that delivers warmth, breathability, stretch, or airflow exactly where it is needed. This approach creates garments that move naturally with the body, regulate temperature well, and perform across a wide range of climates and activities.
The result is versatile clothing built for modern life outside. Pieces that transition easily from everyday wear to hiking, travel, and time in nature while maintaining exceptional comfort.
Knit-to-shape manufacturing also produces significantly less material waste than traditional cut and sew production, aligning with our goal of creating clothing that is healthier for people and the planet.
When you wear Abode Outside, you are choosing clothing engineered for comfort, performance, and a lighter footprint on the places we all depend on.
