Lost Canyon Threads is a small outdoor apparel brand in Colorado Springs. Every design starts somewhere we actually go — Cottonwood Pass at 12,126 ft, the dirt road above Twin Lakes at 9,200 ft — and every tee, hat and sticker is printed to order in the US, one at a time, so nothing sits in a warehouse.

There's a dirt road near Twin Lakes called Lost Canyon. It isn't a destination. There's no trailhead sign, no permit, no summit register. It's where we pull the truck off, set up camp with the girls, and let the week fall away for a couple of days.
Cottonwood Pass is the drive we take from there: paved the whole way over, switchback after switchback out of Buena Vista, aspens going gold in the last week of September, and the Collegiate Peaks stacked up on both sides. The design is drawn from that view.

Browse everythingFor a summer day hike below treeline, no. Cotton holds sweat, so it's the wrong layer for cold, wet, or high-output days — a 14er in October, a shoulder-season overnight. For the trails most people actually walk, a soft cotton-blend tee is more comfortable than a technical shirt and worn far more often. Know the day; wear accordingly.
The honest version →Printed to order in the United States on blank garments, one at a time, after you order. Nothing is printed in bulk, so there are no unsold boxes and no landfill run at season's end. Designs are drawn in Colorado Springs by the people who camp at the places on them.
