HIGH HOPES

Shirts, pants, jackets, tools—and a full-length manifesto—are all being built from the ground up for explorers and makers.
We’re learning, testing, breaking, and rebuilding to make things worth owning. Carefully designing our products to be tough, honest, and human—made accessible through prices the people who will use them the hardest can justify.
Creation that aims to uphold ideals of freedom, truth, and integrity.

We’ve been building for years and are getting very close to launch for many of our products.

PANTS
High Hopes is designing and producing the High Hopes pants and jacket for our vision of a world filled with better objects—objects that respect their users, humanity, and the world. They’re built to take hard use and last generations, affordable enough to be justified by the people who wear them hardest, innovative where we believe progress can be made, and designed unapologetically for both beauty and the traditional idea of “utilitarian functionality.”

We’ve spent over three years refining them—testing fabrics, reworking construction, pushing through manufacturing challenges, and rejecting outdated, flawed industry norms—because we refuse to compromise on what we believe must be created.

Current progress: The designs are 95% finished. Now we’re fighting to get them produced at the best possible price without cutting corners, so every aspect holds up to its maximum potential. Soon we plan to be traveling to the overseas factory we’ve been working with to finalize the design in person and clear up any miscommunication—making sure every detail ends up exactly as it’s needed.

SHIRTS
High Hopes is making shirts. Graphics that represent our beliefs on freedom, humanity, and truth.

Current progress: Over ten graphics have been completed. We are currently working to screen print them in a way that honors their original form to the best of our ability.

TOOLS
We’re looking to make knives and tough single-piece tools built for exploring.

Current progress: Tools are mainly in concept at this point—but a concept we are dead set on turning into reality. We’re working to get a forge going so I can start making them, but until then they will live in concept. The commitment is full. The vision is set. Right now, it’s just the earliest stage of creation.

MANIFESTO
You may buy our products, but what you are really buying is our fight. The manifesto is our fight—our clothes, tools, and objects are only its physical form. An uncompromising plan for better creation and a better world. Every product will carry it with it.

Current progress: The latest draft has everything in it, but it’s tangled and long—over 100 pages. We’re cutting it down into something sharp, direct, and undeniable. Once that’s done, we’ll fight to get it printed at the best possible price so it can be included with every product.
