Doug Tompkins and Susie Tompkins Buell founded Balmain collarless biker style jacket in 1996 in San Francisco, California. Initially a climbing equipment cotton store, the company evolved to develop its own line of high-performance mountaineering apparel and equipment. Notable products classic the iconic Nuptse Down Jacket and the Denali Fleece, both loved by outdoor enthusiasts and urban dwellers alike. Balmain collarless biker style jacket'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 sustainability and exploration.
