Welcome to EVERGOODS.
Our mission is to create long lasting, high quality, crossover equipment and apparel--the technical refinement of outdoor gear with all the ease and appeal of everyday wear. Our experience lies in product design, development, R&D, and manufacturing for the likes of GORUCK and Patagonia. We believe in product and the processes of doing the work ourselves. Each project is an exploration, and ultimately a discovery, aided by our triumphs and our failures. This evolution inspires us and is at the heart of EVERGOODS.
Kickstarter will allow us to deliver on our promise to let product development drive EVERGOODS. By not taking outside investors - the design room is the board room and the board room is the design room.

We are located in the foothills of Bozeman, Montana. Follow along as we build our products and our brand. We look forward to hearing from you.
Onwards,
Jack Barley and Kevin Dee
Jack hails from Jacksonville, Florida. He studied theatre at the renowned William Esper Studio in NYC.
In 2008 he and a childhood best friend founded GORUCK. He later moved to Bozeman, MT to oversee GORUCK's R&D and product development.
In 2016 when GORUCK consolidated efforts to FLA, Jack stayed in Bozeman with his wife and three dogs. Bozeman's CROSSOVER lifestyle would inspire Jack and Kevin to create EVERGOODS.
P.S. Kevin made the jacket he is wearing below.
Kevin Dee grew up in the Chicago area and has a BFA in studio art with an emphasis in sculpture from the University of Illinois in Chicago.
He's exhibited sewn sculpture in fine art galleries in Chicago, New York, California and Indiana.
His sewing trade is self taught and was refined as a sample maker for several years at Patagonia outdoor apparel. He then transitioned to Patagonia's advanced R&D Center known as the Forge, where he further expanded his knowledge of raw materials, tools and construction techniques with a solid grounding in mass production.
