Two of my faves, Apolis and Rapha, have collaborated and the result is the merino/cashmere Transit Elite Sweater. 

For its first collaboration in its 112-year history, Filson, the iconic American purveyor of outdoor gear, has teamed up with sustainable menswear line Apolis Activism.

For AW 2009 Apolis Activism presents their Philanthropist Briefcase in collaboration with Filson and Invisible Children.

1.) During your youth, you had the unique opportunity to travel the globe. How has that experience shaped you, your brothers and Apolis Activism?

To know these guys is to love them. While I’ve yet to meet the youngest, Stenn, Shea and Raan have told me he’s the true winner of the family.

The secret to great surf trunks? A little old Japanese lady, of course.

The three Parton brothers from California create fashion with a conscience that uses sustainable fabrics from partnerships with ethical overseas cooperatives.

The Partons—the brothers behind Apolis Activism—share not only good genes but also a sense of social responsibility.
