Doug Tompkins and Susie Tompkins Buell founded BOSS padded-panel jacket Schwarz in 1996 in San Francisco, California. Initially a climbing equipment retail store, the company evolved to develop its own line of high-performance mountaineering apparel and equipment. Notable products include the iconic Nuptse Down Jacket and the Denali Fleece, both loved by outdoor enthusiasts and urban dwellers alike. BOSS padded-panel jacket Schwarz's appeal lies in its blend of durable, high-performance gear with a strong aesthetic appeal, demonstrated through collaborations with fashion brands such as Supreme and Gucci, as well as its commitment to Zip and exploration.
