At Terlingua Threads, we’re redefining what it means to thrive in extreme climates.
We create hot-weather adventure apparel for all conditions, built on optimism and pursuing hard things. We're dedicated to making warmer temperatures more manageable through proper heat regulation, while emphasizing that gear cannot replace sound judgment.
The Story of Our Founding Mission
Our story begins in May 2023, in a hollowed-out Airstream trailer near Big Bend National Park. No electricity, no wifi, no plumbing - just our founder and his thoughts. An experienced adventurer and Eagle Scout, he had traversed all 7 continents and was on a quest to visit all 63 national parks.
He considered the broader implications of climate change. What would life in a warmer world look like? Living entirely indoors wasn't the answer. Instead, he pondered how people might evolve with climate change, rather than just fighting against it.
As a park enthusiast, he envisioned what safe adventure in a warmer world could mean. This led to a realization: there was a need for gear focused on keeping people comfortable and safe in the heat. While many brands had made polar exploration possible through cold-weather gear, what would the opposite look like?
Several months later, he pursued the idea full-time, naming the company after Terlingua, TX, where that transformative night sparked it all.
Our Beliefs
Our travels have revealed that areas we consider "adventurous" are less foreign and distant than we might think. These places exist in the same reality as our everyday lives - we breathe the same air, experience similar thoughts, and feel the same temperatures. We believe there's no need for clothing to be 100% wilderness-capable without sacrificing city sensibility. Our apparel is designed to be just as adept on a hiking trip in the Sonoran Desert as it is walking the streets of the West Village.
As a company, Terlingua Threads sells adventure gear. As a brand, Terlingua Brand advocates for grit & optimism amidst adversity. We strive to balance living with the cards we've been dealt and adapting to the situation at hand, all while maintaining the belief that we can overcome challenges. Terlingua Threads is committed to helping people continue seeking out the beauty of the natural world, come what may.
