One kit. Both lives.
Over a shirt, under a coat, across a desk. Clothes that look considered because they are.
Thorn, dust, a tailgate, a fire. The same jacket, the same pockets, no change of clothes.
Hard-wearing workwear born out of the contrast between the rugged outdoors and city style.

One jacket for the boardroom, the workshop and the bush. Cotton canvas, metal hardware, seams that outlast the fashion cycle.

Ridgeback Apparel · Since 2018
Born out of the contrast between the rugged outdoors and city style, we have a passion for high quality goods that are versatile and well-made, with attention to detail. We love beautifully constructed, robust and hard-wearing garments that serve numerous purposes and fit seamlessly into a multitude of different lifestyles.
For those days where you need to be hands on and unafraid of getting down and dirty, for the days spent working in the office, or the more relaxed days going to the market. By combining all these life aspects, our products have been made to fulfil those roles.
With our passion for deliberate, well-crafted products, we can begin to turn away from fast fashion and back to excellent quality, multi-seasonal items. This is what our clothing is all about. Ridgeback is the brand that is made for life.
