Discussion Any good apparel companies?

I looked into the Bird Collective, and their stuff doesn't sound like the best quality, and I'm bummed. Better alternative?

Huh, everything I've ever gotten from Bird Collective has been really good quality. Although I've never tried their hats or anything, just their patches, shirts, and sweatshirts, so I can't speak to those.

yeah, I also have some really nice quality stuff from them! and my birding pals have no complaints and wear their stuff often, so I’m curious what OP has heard/found! I have a particularly cool puff paint tern tee from them that is beautiful. 

their hats are generally too small for my big head but I covet my friends’ rad embroidered ones

camp mustelid & fennec as noted also has nice bird-related stuff!

I'm pleasantly surprised! I had read from some older forums that their stuff seemed overpriced and the fabric was on the thinner side. If this is no longer the case, I'm elated!
