New Shirts, Hoodies, Hats, and Neck Gaiters Now In Stock!

Just in time for the holiday season! We're happy to announce the release of two new designs for shirts and cozy hoodies (in collaboration with Kotis Design), four different hats and the Doug flag Neck Gaiter.

Our first shirt and hoodie design is the Tri-Doug. The classic blue, white, and green Cascadia flag colors fill out the Douglas fir tree design. For shirts we have "deep black," "herb green," and "vino red" colorways while our zip-up hoodies come in deep black. Our 3xl hoodies are in a pullover design instead of zip-up.

We're also happy to unveil the Hex design as a shirt and pullover hoodie. The classic black Douglas fir tree is surrounded by an equilateral hexagon filled with destressed blue, white, and green colors of the Cascadia flag. Both the shirts and hoodies have the same colorways as the Tri-Doug but all hoodie sizes are in the pullover style.

The shirts are Allmade® Organic Cotton and Tri-Blend. While not USA made, they work hard to ethically source their material, and use labor practices to minimize damage to the environment. For the hoodies, we are using Royal Apparel™ 100% organic cotton, which is labor run, ethically sourced and made in the United States.

Now to protect your head we're releasing four different hat designs in a few different colorways. We have the classic Doug flag patch on six panel, mesh back, snapback hats in four different colorways. We have the classic black front panels with black mesh, navy blue front panels and oyster mesh, olive green front panels with oyster mesh, and charcoal grey front panels with oyster mesh. You can grab yours here.

We're also happy to have our Pride patch hat releasing along side, with the Philly pride flag backing our classic Doug fir. These hats have the same colorways as our classic Doug patch along with a fifth variant with black front panels and oyster mesh. Show off your pride by grabbing a hat here.

For our trucker hat fans, we also have screen-printed classic Doug flag on white foam and black mesh snapback hats and the Philly pride Doug flag screen-printed on black foam and mesh snapback hats.

Finally, we are proud to offer our Doug flag Neck Gaiters. Show off your Cascadian pride while you keep your neck and face warm this winter with this breathable Neck Gaiter showing the classic Doug flag.

Cascadia Day 2023

let’s celebraTE! May 18th, 2023

For over a decade we have made it a priority to amplify, encourage, and support our fellow Cascadian’s to spend a day with Cascadia. We are continuing the tradition again on May 18th; here at the Department of Bioregion, we will be celebrating our 12th official Cascadia Day. We commemorate Cascadia on the anniversary of the Mount St. Helens eruption, as a day of remembrance for how alive our bioregion is, across The Cascadia Subduction Zone.”

This Spring we want to remind you all that life finds a way under the most intense conditions. Our bioregion contains distinct regional values, unique traditions, inherent beliefs, and our devotion to creating a sustainable and equitable community in which leadership is in the hands of the people and a strong community is our greatest asset. So, whether your flag is on a sticker, tee-shirt, or your own drawing - we welcome everyone from all around the globe to join in the celebratory fun.

“Cascadia Day, May 18… the anniversary of Mt. St. Helen’s eruption. On that day people realized, forcefully, that the earth is alive! This event coincided with the emergence of Plate Tectonic theory in Geology, and discovery of what came to be called in the mid-1980’s, “The Cascadia Subduction Zone.” Massive forces that make our world—volcanic eruptions, mountain building, mega-earthquakes, huge tsunamis, among others—all came to be seen as part of the same system working deep in the bones of the earth. Dynamisms shaping the character of our region began to be revealed for the first time.

Everything changed after that….”

-David McCloskey, Cascadia Institute
