Kevin Kinney: Behind the Wool and Canvas

from Paddle and Portage Podcast · host Paddle and Portage Podcast

Kevin Kinney, owner of Empire Wool and Canvas Company, celebrates the natural world. He does so without apologies. A direct, straightforward creator, Kevin is a generous creator of fabric, though he doesn't need your approval to know his work is being done the right way. He knows it. And most everyone who has some of his product knows it too. Kevin has built small batches of garments near Lake Superior and the Boundary Waters for more than 20 years. He runs his business the same way he always has: Old school. Customers order direct. No waitlists. Manufacturer to customer. No B.S. In this episode of the podcast, we learn about the journey of Kevin Kinney.  This episode is sponsored by Bending Branches Canoe & Kayak Paddles and Borderland Lodge.
