[...] Nau is an outdoor clothing company, long one of elephantjournal.com’s favorites, dedicated to doing business differently. This is evident in their recycled and organic fabrics, their strict fair-labor standards, carbon offsets and earnest pledge to “unf*ck the world.” But Nau is doing something else differently—they’re willing to engage their customers in the difficult questions that surround the garment industry. “If you want to buy this vest,” they say, “then you should know exactly where it came from and who it impacted.” This level of transparency is a risky move in an economy based on a “what they don’t know can’t hurt them” ethos, where everything from diamonds to gym socks to chicken parmigiana can carry some pretty heavy karma.

I just returned from the desert where talon grabbers, knives, glochids, yucca trip sticks, tree daggers, and numerous cacti ripped my threads to shreds. Nau is the time to get new clothes.

I too was bummed when I had heard that Nau had gone out of business. It definitely left a void in the outdoor marketplace. I cant where zip off khaki shorts the rest of my life! Thanks for spreading the good news Abbey!

Abbey was so excited to show me the clothes she received from Nau. Of course she looks fantastic in them, but I am also her mom. Now I would like to try and show Eaton, Colorado what these clothes look like.
