Meet Jim
I love moving in natural places under my own power. Looking for lines, birds, flora/fauna, and ways to keep incorporating the landscapes into my life. I love seasonality and find it keeps life refreshing but provides a great routine and way to break from screens and stress.

What do you love about the Burrow Hoodie?
It’s the lifer hoody. I live in the 2 I have (1 I personally sewed). There is no occasion outside of moving FAST that I don’t wear it. I am a hoody guy and this checks a lot of boxes and no hoody can check all. Feels like a warm hug, endless possibilities for design so go crazy, and always nice to reach for when a little more warmth is needed. I let each of my Groomsmen design one as my wedding gift. They love them too!
Anything else you love about Thuja clothing in general?
So glad they got some Alpha and made a sweater. I go back and forth between the 90 and 120. Each got their place but 90 is always in the bag or on when not moving. 120 if it is cold. That and the Hellbrook together is an awesome combo.
What's your Dream Adventure?
I have soooo many! Depends on the sport! I do have an idea call the VT 4x4. Bike the length of VT , Hike the LT, Paddle the entire CT River that borders VT, and ski Catamount Trail. All in one year with a friend would be even better

Pizza
