Seattle-based Swift Industries and North Carolina-based Kitsbow have teamed up on a limited edition collaboration, consisting of an Anchor Hip Pack, the Icon wool flannel, and a Sidekick Stem Pouch. Each is 100% designed and built in the USA, blending Kitsbow’s “tech-forward design” with Swift’s more traditional adventure aesthetic! Find a quick breakdown on each item in the collection below.
The Swift x Kitsbow Anchor Hip Pack
The 2.5L capacity Anchor Hip Pack features an all-new design that comes in two colors and features an expanding external sleeve for some added carrying capacity. The Cargo Flap is accented with Kitsbow’s special Umatilla wool lining by Pendleton. There are extra attachment points for adding on a Sidekick Stem Pouch, which looks like an ideal spot for stashing an extra water bottle or some small snacks. The Anchor Hip Pack looks like a pretty clever design and is different from anything we’ve seen or used before.

The Swift x Kitsbow Icon Shirt
At the heart of the collection is Kitsbow’s beautiful Umatilla Wool shirt by Pendleton. Swift wove in some of their own DNA into their iconic design, focusing on details like the Umatilla colorway featuring sage green shoulder and elbow reinforcements, a custom cobranded embossed leather logo, and a subtle label proclaiming Northwest By Nature—a gesture to Swift’s home in Seattle, Washington.

The Swift x Kitsbow Icon Shirt will be the first women’s-fit Icon Shirt offered in classic Pendleton Umatilla wool! Swift sees this as an important nod to their female-identifying customers, an ode to their Woman-Owned Business, and a joyful celebration of the progress America just chose in the White House.
