About Sleeping Indian Designs
WOOL IS THE BENCHMARK FOR ALL
OUTDOOR CLOTHING
AND SLEEPING INDIAN IS THE BENCHMARK FOR ALL WOOL

Our
company’s name comes from Sheep Mountain
in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, known as “Sleeping Indian,”
for it’s distinctive profile.
Sleeping Indian
Designs began with a love of the outdoors and a desire to create clothing
superior to everything else on the market. We were frustrated by existing
outdoor clothing that fell far short when facing the extremes of nature. There
was plenty of gear available, but nothing that met our expectations. We were
looking for qualities that are important to anyone serious about experiencing
the great outdoors.
We wanted clothing
that is comfortable over a wide temperature range and is of functional and
practical design. We wanted it to be durable, yet lightweight and not bulky. We
wanted clothing that is quiet and provides superior concealment. We wanted it to
be wind- and water-resistant, yet breathable. Simple, right?
Well, turning our
"simple" list of requirements for functional field wear into actual clothing
required an extraordinary amount of work. But we did it. We developed a warm-
and cold-weather clothing system that allows you to experience the outdoors from
-40°F to +90°F with the least amount of layering and the greatest amount of
freedom.
We enlisted nature as an ally in our effort. Rather than look to modern,
high-tech materials for our apparel, we chose wool and cotton. There may never
be a "perfect" fabric for outdoor clothing, but wool for cold-weather gear and
cotton for warm-weather clothing come closer than anything we've found. The
fabrics we created take great effort and time to produce. They require a number
of costly and intricate processes to manufacture. But we think the results are
well worth the effort.
But even the
greatest products can't stand alone. At Sleeping Indian our goal is to provide a
level of service that is the equal of our outstanding gear. Whether you need
advice on the proper clothing for a trip north of the Arctic Circle, or custom
sewing for a perfect fit, our expert staff is ready to help.
Whether you head
outdoors armed with a camera, a rifle, binoculars or a bow, we are ready to
guide you and our gear is ready to protect you. The reward will be to experience
the natural beauty of the world with a degree of comfort and freedom never
before possible.
Everyone in our
company is committed to our mission. We invite you to enjoy the benefits of our
warm and cold weather clothing and accessories and to join the many who consider
Sleeping Indian Designs their outdoor connection.
We made natural
fibers our allies in the battle against the extremes of nature.
