Beringia Masters of Bishu Collection

Some apparel has wilderness adventures coursing through their blood and it serves as the catalyst for the clothing that they create. A fine example of this in action is Beringia and their fantastic Masters of Bishu series of outdoors apparel. Bishu is the historic region in Aichi Prefecture where wool has been crafted into luxury fabrics for over three hundred years and it is the cornerstone of this first-class series of clothing from Beringia.

The Masters of Bishu Collection is chock full of the sort of gear that you’re going to want by your side for any great outdoor excursions you’ve got planned over the next few weeks and months. In a first in the clothing industry, Beringia has collaborated with speciality spinners, knitters and finishers from the Bishu region to apply their expertise to designing Beringia’s own performance-oriented fabrics built for all your wilderness escapes.

Check out our pick of the best bits from the Masters of Bishu Collection below:
