We’re excited to announce the launch of the Headwater Edition, the latest release in our Lat-Long Series—a collection that blends craftsmanship, adventure, and the untamed beauty of the Colorado River into each and every piece to help you stay warm while camping or just enjoying a cozy night at home. The Headwater Edition isn’t just inspired by the river; it’s made on the river. Each honcho is handcrafted as we make our way down the Colorado, from the glacial headwaters of the Rocky Mountains through the rugged cliffs of Byers Canyon.
This launch is more than just a new line of honchos—it’s a tribute to the places, moments, and elements we’ve encountered along the way. The Headwater Edition captures the colors, textures, and spirit of our journey, and now, you can own a piece of it.
Why the Headwater Edition is Different
What sets the Headwater Edition apart is the deep connection between the products and the journey itself. These aren’t mass-produced items; they’re personal, handcrafted honchos made during our world-record paddleboarding expedition. And with each honcho, we’re bringing the Colorado River directly to you.
Every honcho in this edition is:
Crafted by Hand Along the River: While we source the finest wool blankets for the honchos, each piece is cut, sewn, and stitched by our team (mostly Jed and Courtney!) at the exact coordinates of our camp on the riverbank: 40.1481° N, -105.8764° W. The honchos are completed in the wild, surrounded by the same landscapes that inspire their designs.
Uniquely Yours: Each honcho comes with a custom leather patch featuring the name of the colorway, the coordinates of where it was crafted, and your own name—because this isn’t just a honcho, it’s a part of the river’s story and yours.
Inspired by Nature: The colors and patterns are drawn directly from the landscapes we paddle through—from the deep blues and greys of Glacial Stream, to the earthy tones of Siltstone Ridge, to the vibrant green and yellow stripes of Golden Hour Rapids.
The Honchos in the Headwater Edition
Here’s a closer look at the honchos available in this launch, each inspired by the Colorado River’s headwaters:
Granite Gorge
Color: Navy with Red and Black StripesInspired by the towering granite walls of Byers Canyon, Granite Gorge is a tribute to the river’s sheer power as it carves through the rock. Rugged and bold, this honcho is perfect for anyone who’s ready to embrace the untamed.
Siltstone Ridge
Color: Tan with Orange and Red StripesSiltstone Ridge draws from the ancient, layered rock formations of the canyon. These earthy tones tell the story of millions of years of geological history, with every stripe reflecting the warmth of the land shaped by the river’s flow.
Glacial Stream
Color: Gray and Blue StripesFed by the icy waters of the Rocky Mountains, the Glacial Stream honcho brings the chill of high-altitude glaciers right to your shoulders. Cool, crisp, and clear—this honcho mirrors the clarity of the river’s origins.
Timberline Mist
Color: Dark Green with Black StripesNamed after the mist that rises from the river at dawn, Timberline Mist captures the quiet moments where the dense forests meet the water’s edge. The deep green and black stripes are a nod to the untouched wilderness of the river’s upper reaches.
Golden Hour Rapids
Color: Green with Yellow and Navy StripesAs the sun begins to set and the light changes, the river comes alive in new ways. Golden Hour Rapids reflects those magic moments when the water glows under the warmth of the setting sun, blending the vibrant green of the canyon with streaks of golden light.
More Than Just Gear: A Part of the Journey
The Headwater Edition is more than just a collection of honchos—it’s a way for you to share in the adventure. By wearing one, you’re connected to the river, to the wilderness, and to the work we’ve put into crafting each piece along the way. Whether you’re wearing it around the campfire, out on a hike, or just relaxing at home, your honcho brings a part of our journey into your life.
Each honcho in the Headwater Edition is numbered and marked with the exact coordinates where it was made. It’s a personal reminder that your honcho was created in the wild, just as the river itself carved its way through the landscape.
Limited Edition – Once They’re Gone, They’re Gone
The Headwater Edition is a limited run, handcrafted directly on our expedition. Once these honchos are sold, they won’t be remade—just like the fleeting moments of sunrise over the river or the mist rising from the canyon. Each honcho in this collection is unique, and with only a handful remaining, they won’t last long.
