Funluvin Fleecewear
FunLuvin’ Fleecewear was born on a cold and stormy trip to Alaska in the summer of 2015. I noticed the locals were wearing fleece shorts under their drysuits for an extra layer of insulation where it mattered. I loved the idea and thought it would work great off the river too. I went home to South Dakota and enlisted my aunt to teach me how to sew and design prototypes. As I refined the designs, I found myself wearing fleece shorts and skirts all of the time. I started picking out fun fabrics that I thought my guiding friends would enjoy, and started giving my fleece clothes away for my friends and fellow guides to try out.
Everybody loved it! My friends were using fleece wear as a technical layer, but also loving it for casual use in town. With lots of encouragement from the community, I started sewing more and hit the road selling FunLuvin Fleecewear. Over the past 7 years, my clothing company has grown dramatically. I am no longer sewing each garment, but thru the help of a passenger I met on an AzRA trip I was able to establish manufacturing. My clothing is made with love, and 100% made in the USA. Over the years, I have been able to spread the Fleece Clothing Love all over the U.S. and we’re now in over 40 retail stores.
My clothing is guide inspired, and I am fully committed to creating fun, functional, and affordable clothing for a lifestyle of adventure! Currently I make fleece skirts, fleece shorts, coffee talk blankets, cuddle buddies (paco pad covers), beanies, trucker hats, and sun hoodies. I still guide river trips seven months out of the year, but anytime I’m not rafting the classic rivers of the West or chasing powder, you can find me sewing or on the road with my clothing company.
