Driftless Threads is a brand that embodies the heart and spirit of the Driftless Region. As lovers of adventure and the great outdoors, we create apparel that reflects our passion for exploration and our respect for the natural world around us. But Driftless Threads is about more than just stylish, outdoorsy apparel. We're about giving back. With every item you purchase, you become part of a bigger mission - a mission to support the local community and protect the beautiful landscapes that inspire us every day. That's why we pledge to donate a significant portion of our profits - 25%, to be precise - to local non-profit organizations. These are groups that work tirelessly to enhance the quality of life in our area, promoting outdoor recreation and conservation in and around La Crosse, WI.
