The Pacific Northwest is more than just a place—it’s a way of life. It’s where towering evergreens meet misty coastlines, where adventure thrives, and where legends roam the forests. At PNW KYNE, we embody this wild, untamed spirit in every piece of apparel and gear we create.
PNW KYNE is more than just a name—it’s an identity. ‘PNW’ proudly represents the Pacific Northwest, while ‘KYNE’ is derived from the Old English word 'cynn', meaning ‘family,’ ‘kindred,’ or ‘kin.’ Over time, ‘cynn’ evolved into Middle English forms like ‘kynde’ and later ‘kin,’ maintaining its deep connection to lineage and community. Our unique spelling, ‘KYNE,’ is our own modern take on this rich heritage, designed to reflect both tradition and individuality. Together, PNW KYNE is a tribute to those who feel an unbreakable bond with the region, its beauty, and its folklore. If you’re drawn to the mountains, rivers, and untamed trails of the Pacific Northwest, you’re part of the PNW KYNE family.
PNW KYNE isn’t just about clothing—it’s about a lifestyle. Our designs are inspired by the landscapes we explore and the folklore that fuels our curiosity. But we also believe in protecting what we love. That’s why we are a proud member of 1% for the Planet, donating a portion of every sale to conservation efforts in the Pacific Northwest. By choosing PNW KYNE, you’re not just wearing a brand; you’re supporting a mission to keep the wild, wild.
Each PNW KYNE piece is thoughtfully crafted for those who embrace adventure, whether you’re deep in the woods or repping 315° USA from afar. Our logo is more than just a mark—it’s a symbol of the region’s rugged beauty, featuring a compass pointer guiding you toward the Northwest.
Whether you're sporting our gear on a backcountry hike or grabbing coffee in the city, you're carrying a piece of the Pacific Northwest with you.
We do more than create gear—we build connections. PNW KYNE is for the explorers, the dreamers, the Bigfoot believers, and those who find solace in the great outdoors. Follow us, share your adventures, and tag us with #PNWKYNE to be part of a community that thrives at 315° USA.
Explore. Protect. Belong. That’s the PNW KYNE way.
This is what we do, and We do it outdoors.
