Hemp Jackets
Tough, versatile and eco-conscious, and grown with little water and no soil depletion, hemp is one of the most eco-friendly fibres. Think of it as cotton’s tougher sibling — rugged, longer-lasting, and just as comfortable, with natural UV protection, antimicrobial properties, and excellent moisture absorption. Hemp has amazing thermoregulating properties, keeping you warm in cold weather and cool when it gets hot.

Let customers speak for us
How are we different?
The Rugged Soul is more than just clothing - it's a calling. A sense of belonging to something rare. We make timeless, well-crafted outerwear that speaks to those who move with purpose.
We craft garments the slow way - carefully, intentionally, and in small batches, using natural fabrics and sturdy construction to create clothing that holds up to real life and wear better with age.
This isn't clothing that chases trends. From the city to rugged trails to wherever the road leads you, each layer is built to go the distance and carry the marks of your story.
Every piece reflects a quiet strength: bold in spirit, never in noise. It's clothing that doesn’t just look right - it feels right.
The Rugged Soul isn’t for everyone. And that’s exactly the point.
Wear the difference. Own your edge.
