Jack and Sage has established itself as a premium brand within national parks, ski resorts, and outdoor destinations. With the addition of Kastlfel, the company enters the broader basics and logo wear segment — including sustainable tees, headwear, and knitwear — while maintaining its premium positioning.

Kastlfel products are made exclusively from 100% sustainable materials, including organic cotton, recycled cotton, and recycled polyester. Every factory and production facility is certified to stringent global standards covering environmental processes, chemical management, and ethical labor practices.

"It's not enough to simply claim sustainable materials," said Marc Conner, COO. "Consumers want proof. Third-party certifications like GRS and OCS verify that our finished products contain the sustainable fibers we start with. Every step of the process is certified and transparent."

Over the next 12–24 months, the product assortment will expand from tees into hoodies, crew necks, beanies, and caps.
