Arbor is proud to make all of our men’s and women’s t-shirts right here, in the USA. The goal ultimately is to offer an entire line of apparel manufactured in the good ole’ US of A. We currently make the t-shirt collection, including the viscose from bamboo/organic cotton tees that we are known for, the hat collection and now some of our knits all in Los Angeles. Arbor is well on its way to being a completely domestic producer of eco-friendly apparel.
Arbor celebrates longtime art and design contributors Blaine Fontana & Zach Johnsen in a night of art, up-cycling, book signings, frivolity and a furious passion for reclaimed materials for an imaginative environmental experience. Collaborating with Arbor, the artists are echoing the company’s rooted practice using sustainable materials for their products. The entire show is comprised of all reclaimed, recycled, or repurposed wood/media, only two sheets of plywood were bought to create this highly involved, rich and detailed dreamy “Camp Fire” scene.
More than half of the installation is available, making for over 60 items for sale at a wide range of prices. Fontana and Johnsen are also showing several brand new collaborative paintings made exclusively for the event.
Lastly, Fontana will be happily signing his new book “Amalgamate,” a 108 page harbound book featuring over 75 full-color plates of his recent art and design during the opening.
“We look forward to seeing all our friends and fans at the event,” says Fontana and Johnsen. “It’s going to be a great night for art and the environment.”
“Evo has been a strong supporter of Arbor Skateboards, Snowboards and Apparel,” says John Crouch, Arbor’s northwest sales representative. “This event is solid way for Arbor to get more involved with Evo while including our products, artists and friends of the collective in a unique way. Evo has created something special with their art gallery, party atmosphere and cult following that is going to make this a night to remember.”

The Arbor Collective is pleased to announce that its 2011 Fall/Holiday apparel is now hitting stores. The new collection is made almost exclusively from bamboo-based fabrics, which is the most renewable and sustainable raw material available. Arbor is also proud to offer high quality t-shirts that are handmade in the USA. The Arbor men’s line features artist series tees, premium tops, fleece, jackets, wovens and the all-new stretch twill pants. The Arbor women’s line features artist tees, premium tops, layering, novelty tops, wovens, and also for women, new stretch twill pants. In the accessories line, Arbor is happy to release an array of new beanies and the new Traverse and Legacy belts along with all of the classic hats and Icon belts for which the brand is so well known. “We use bamboo as a basis of most of our apparel because we feel it provides the best combination of eco and performance benefits, more than any other raw material available,” said Arbor’s apparel sales manager, Drew Hopkins. “We feel like this new Fall/Holiday line is our strongest offering yet including our new stretch twill pants that are arguably the most comfortable option on the market. Trying is believing!”
