We’re a small, skilled team that values craftsmanship, problem-solving, and a love for making things last.
Position Overview:
We’re looking for motivated, detail-oriented problem solvers to join our team. This position focuses heavily on repairs—from patching torn jackets to fixing tents, backpacks, and other outdoor equipment. You’ll also assist with manufacturing sewn products for our in-house line.

Perform gear and garment repairs, including patching, zipper replacement, and re-stitching.
Diagnose repair needs and develop creative solutions for challenging jobs.
Assist in small-scale manufacturing of sewn goods.
Operate and maintain industrial sewing equipment, laser cutters, and pattern sewing machines (training provided).
Collaborate with team members to meet quality and production standards.
Provide excellent service to customers through attention to detail and craftsmanship.
Qualifications:
Comfortable and confident using a home sewing machine.
Strong attention to detail and a passion for quality work.
Ability to problem-solve and adapt to unique repair challenges.
Enthusiasm for learning new skills and equipment.
Prior sewing, tailoring, or gear repair experience is a plus but not required.
Interest in outdoor gear, sustainable fashion, or repair culture is a bonus.
Why Work With Us:
Be part of a creative, hands-on shop that values sustainability and craftsmanship.
Learn advanced sewing and repair techniques on industry-standard equipment.
Flexible, friendly, and supportive work environment.
Opportunity to grow as we expand our manufacturing capabilities.
