About Rachel
Rachel Pohl is an artist and mountain athlete from Montana. Her colorful oil and acrylic landscapes from all over the West capture how these places feel, not just how they look. Rachel grew up in a household that valued time spent outdoors, which informs her lifestyle and her work today. Rachel's work can be found on rachelpohlart.com, on Instagram @rachel.pohl or @rachel.pohl.art, and on our flannel shirts.
Inspiration
"This print comes from a painting called “Spanish Peaks Sunrise” and it means so much to me. These are the mountains we could see from our old house in Montana that we sold this spring, after pouring so much love into the home. I grew up skiing in these peaks, and have stood on top of several of the sum- mits, some many times. This view greeted us daily for three years, and I grew up in the same valley. They will forever hold a special place in my heart, especially this view."

"Even if you’ve never seen these peaks, I hope they remind you of the quiet stillness of sunrise on a winter morning. Of moments of kairos, of time beyond time, where everything stands still and tears well in your eyes (if you are like me and also moved by beauty). I hope this print feels like reverence and adventure at the same time, and that you create your own memories in your flannel that connect you deeper to yourself."
"The color palette is based on so many sunrises we witnessed over these peaks, and the time of day represents a new day, a chance for a fresh start. The crescent moon is another symbol of newness, of contemplation."

"The fact that I now live 4,000 miles away from these mountains in Norway means that even though I cannot be among these peaks, I can bring a pieces of my heart on my sleeve (cuff) wherever I go. And I hope this pattern allows you to bring your memories of the mountains with you too."
Built to Last
We believe in buying a shirt once and wearing it forever. That is why we sweat over every aspect of the manufacturing process. We use construction techniques like internal fell stitching and triple needle construction on critical seams to ensure your garment will perform outdoors and last a lifetime.
Responsibly Made
Besides being luxuriously soft and durable, our 100% cotton, premium, Portuguese flannel is milled using environmentally safe and sustainable practices. We use BCI (Better Cotton Initiative) certified fabric to ensure fair wages, less water usage and healthy farming communities.
Functional Beauty
The goal of this collaboration was to create styles that were not only beautiful, but functional. Rachel is an outdoor athlete and relies on her clothing to be comfortable and dependable. We worked together to include features like back shoulder gussets for ease of movement and a modern fit for versatility.
