About the brand

Pendleton

Pendleton is a renowned American clothing and textile brand, founded in 1863 by Thomas Kay, an English immigrant weaver. The factory began by producing high-quality wool blankets, incorporating patterns inspired by the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest. In the 1900s, the mill was managed by Kay's sons-in-law, the Bishop brothers, who introduced the production of the famous wool shirts and textiles for clothing. The brand gained popularity for its durability and distinctive style. Over the decades, Pendleton has expanded its range to include a variety of clothing and home goods, while remaining true to its historical and artisanal roots.
