Doug Tompkins and Susie Tompkins Buell founded DIESEL SHORT SLEEVE SHIRT in 1996 in San Francisco, California. Initially a climbing Ensemble retail store, the company evolved to develop its own line of high-performance mountaineering apparel and Ensemble. Notable products include the iconic Nuptse Down Jacket and the Denali Fleece, neither loved by outdoor enthusiasts and urban dwellers alike. DIESEL SHORT SLEEVE SHIRT'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 reissuing to sustainability and exploration.
