Quality clothing w/o blatant labels

[HydeParkHunter]

This is probably going to go nowhere, but I'll ask anyway. Can anybody recommend a quality outdoor clothing brand that doesn't have their logo annoyingly prominent on their products? Am I the only one that doesn't like feeling like I'm advertising for a brand?

I like Patagonia because many of their products have a stitched-on label that is easily cut off. But that's an exception. First Lite has an orange logo on top of camo, Sitka's has embroidery. Kuiu's new upland vest has its logo on the back like a billboard.

Also, if anybody has a trick to peeling the Kuiu labels off their their attack pants, I'd love to hear about it.

I hate wearing clothing that has the brand posted. I don't mind logos but hate the company name on display.

I wear a lot of Patagonia clothing for everything, with 99℅ of it being used. Most of the labels have worn off or I've taken them on. Like the previous posters, I hate advertising for a company.

This seemed really low key on the labeling.. lol sorry I had to.

Stay concealed and comfortable with the Muley Freak Elite Merino Hooded LS. Engineered for hunters, it combines merino's warmth with polyester's durability.

In all seriousness - I completely agree. I just want a small inconspicuous logo. Also, while we're at it please stop putting pockets everywhere. I don't need a chest pocket on every single layer. I don't even use it on one layer.

I agree and just wanted to comment that the kuiu vest logo hit me exactly the same way.

I have had this trouble with button up shirts for work as well. I'd like a button up out of technical material as casual as possible (and still having buttons and a collar ) without a stitched on label. I end up buying a bit dressier shirt than I need just to not have labels on them.

Hard to find quality outdoor clothing that does not have branding out it. Its like buying car without the huge FORD logo or Chevy lighting bolt its just part of there game to get free advertising.

But I have found that alot of OR, Rab, and Black Diamond stuff has pretty minimal logos. OR usually just has a little "OR" on most of there stuff, same goes for Rab, and BD just puts a little diamond logo (most have not clue what it is or means)

Also some (keyword there) of the REI and EMS generic brand stuff only has a little logo that is the same color so its really hard to see and I find some of there stuff is just as good Patagucci, Arcteryx etc but half the price.

What products have you used and what are your thoughts?

I looked at their web page and thought they might be going out of business with their limited selection and prices, but I see they’ve been around since 1996. Definitely no in your face branding.

They have some earth tone color selections too if they’re in stock

Free fly & Origin are two that have some non- logo gear…

A friend of mine hits his Sitka logos with a black sharpie. Still visible, but blends into the camo pattern much better.

They own 5.11 or 5.11 owns them.

I like nylon and dislike poly, so I have:
Wind shirt
Wind pants
Rig ult pant X2
Rig backcountry pant X2
Rig softshell pant
Rig softshell jacket

They are tough and fit well. I wear that wind shirt constantly in the field, and the soft pant in rifle seasons.

Thank you Tod, it's good to know I'm not alone.

And thanks to all of you who replied! I'm glad I posted this because I learned about some new brands. Will definitely be referencing this thread next time I'm shopping.

Just thought of another which I have quit a few pieces from. From performance to the office Kuhl has some great stuff. Small logo usually on the arm for there jackets and long sleeves, very minimal.

Yes, I like Kuhl for pants for that reason.

When we were kids my mom made most of our clothes. Buy some Gortex fabric, a Singer sewing machine and get to stitchin!

I hear ya cluckin big chicken! The solid Attack's and Eddie Bauer guide style pants have become my go-to for business casual, church etc. I especially avoid the Kuiu as it feels like a billboard. Like the guys with the plywood sign on their body!
Yes it's small but I can't tell you how many times people eyes have wandered to the logo. On solids if they want to advertise it should at least color match.

Duluth trading I think is pretty low key branding wise
