Growing up fishing, all tackle, rod and gear were hand me downs. This canvas creel is a dedication to the bag that was my grandpa’s.
Based on the vintage silhouette, this bag is heavily spec’d up; built out of a robust Cotton Duck faced X-Pac® fabric and made in the UK. The main compartment features a bright white tarpaulin removable lining and the YKK AquaGuard® zipper keeps your goods dry. A large slip pocket with a secure velcro closure and two pouch pockets on front allow for quick access and simple organisation. On the backside we added PALS webbing to allow for modular MOLLE attachments. The mil-spec nylon webbing shoulder strap with ITW-Nexus hardware ensures long lasting, tough wearing carry. To finish it off with a touch of class, the bag is trimmed with leather binding.

The TFTO Camp Cap is inspired from an old cap my dad wore fishing. But we didn’t stop there. Just as the early mountain climbers who scaled Everest put their trust in Stotz Eta Proof cotton, we used that same Swiss performance fabric. The Eta Proof Rip Stop fabric selects from the Ivy League equivalent of cotton and is tightly woven to create a water and wind resistant barrier. Inside the cap, we added a mesh lining to provide some crown support, or if in dire need, flip down for make shift shades. We finished off the cap with a vintage satin lining under visor and a thick polyester strap with a center clip closure.
