Jocko Willink Origin Hunting Gear?

[TheDStein58]

I was listening to the Jocko/ Joe Rogan podcast and it was mentioned that Origin, a company that Jocko is invested in, is working on technical hunting gear that is all made and sourced in the USA. Jocko mentioned he is hoping to have it out by Aug of '22, in time for western big game seasons. It will be interesting to see how it compares to the current dominators in the market such as sitka, kuiu, first lite etc. Did anyone else listen to that podcast? Would you buy the product given it was in line with or a little higher priced with what's on the market today? Jocko has been wearing sitka so I'm assuming whatever he comes up with will be as good or better. If this has already been brought up my apologies.

I'm sure they will sell a ton of product at a premium.

I like the idea of more American manufacturing and will look at them the next time I need hunting clothing.

I just hope it is really good product and not just selling the MADE IN AMERICA tag.

Heard the sam podcast and was looking for his gear. I think there is a brand called Pnuma that may be American made. I have a wool top. Nice quality from the one piece I have

Another thread discussing this.

Jocko Wilink releasing 100% US Clothing line.

I was listening to Jocko willink on Joe rogan's podcast, and they kind of unformally announced that Jocko's brand Origin Maine, Will be releasing a line of high-end hunting clothing. 100% United States source materials and 100% made in the United States. I know a lot of guys have been asking...

100% US made will be expensive. Yes, there will be people that will pay for it as well as there will be an equal number of haters.

Gulch gear already sells American made hunting apparel but I’m sure Jocko will sell a bunch of it. Probably at Sitka prices since the hoodies he sells are around 120 a piece.

Pnuma is made in china and Vietnam from what ive heard

In addition to my post above. I hope he does it and I hope he is successful. More choices are better for everyone, more industry and money spent at home is better for everyone.

I am sure it will be good stuff and I am sure the price will reflect it.

Think you might be thinking of Forloh.

I have ahalf dozen Origin BJJ gis and they are of the highest quality. I'm currently selling all my garbage first lite trash to buy Origin camo when it drops.

Don't care what it costs

Most likely, but the price of a lot of Sitka pieces turns me off altogether on owning anything from that company. $600 jackets and $400 pants are crazy town prices. Are we talking gold plated zippers or what?

Looking at the Origin website, those prices could easily be for quality stuff made overseas. $125 jeans and $380 hand made boots are reasonable. The hoodie, maybe not. Just my $.02.

If he can get Rogan, Stumpf, Dudley...and who knows, Barklow has been establishing his own following as of late....if those guys dive all in, this thing can't fail as long as the quality backs it up

If they can make quality and decently priced clothing in the USA then bravo. Not only is it expensive to make clothing in the US but generally speaking, the quality does not compare to overseas. Although that seems counterintuitive, we just don't have a large work force that is trained in "cut and sew" products. Becoming an expert on a sewing machine takes 3-5 years (I know because that's what I do for a living). Its just easier to find workers with that level of expertise overseas. Hopefully the US can change that in the next 10 years.

Barklow works for and is a pretty high up guy at Sitka so I doubt he’s on board.

Yeah I know that, but he’s also been establishing a following of his own recently and is very close to Jocko, Dudley, Rogan, and crew. I know corporate environments aren’t always the best at breeding creativity and allowing freedom to decision makers. I wouldn’t be surprised if barklow stays with Sitka, but I always wouldn’t be shocked if barklow takes on a new challenge with a buddy’s company that he could invest in too…while also being able to do whatever he wants when it comes to gear. With all that being said though, if Barklow was going to jump ship…I’d guess he would have done it already to be a part of the development.

Prices seem okay. The logo is obnoxious on all the clothing. No go on that alone

Some Origin wool showed up on Cameron Hanes social media today with one of the original UA founders.

I've got some origin BJJ stuff and love it. I'm sure it'll be priced accordingly but I'll likely give it a try. Much prefer to buy stuff that's made in the USA.
