LIVSN Holiday Gift Guide
The Time is Nigh.
The Holidays are officially upon us. Yes, you heard that right. New car commercials flaunting their proverbial red bows, big box retailers showing off their biggest boxes - prepare to be inundated with commercials for stuff.
We don't think you should ever feel pressured to buy anything you don't need or want. That said, we've been pretty proud of the pieces we made this season so if clothing is on your holiday list, we feel pretty confident that investing in premium-quality, repairable LIVSN pieces grants you a one-way ticket to long term satisfaction.
Need a little inspiration or guidance? Check out our suggested pieces below, tailored to the rainbow of interests of you and your loved ones' well worn lives.
Gifts for the DIY'er in Your Life
If you don't know one, you might be one. DIYers are some of our favorite people, and they deserve clothing that helps them get the job(s) done. Any of our pieces perform well on the home jobsite, but a couple stand out among the rest. Plus, every one of our pieces qualifies for our in-house repair program and Fair Deal Guarantee.
Flex Canvas Overalls are becoming famous for a reason. For longwinded projects, the ample pockets, storage room and midweight organic cotton canvas/recycled polyester/spandex offer plenty of capability. Flattering, functional, highly mobile, and durable, they strike a balance between workwear and everyday wear that's hard to beat.
The original. The Flex Canvas Pant built the basis of our company and it continues to be our #1 selling product. Midweight, just the right amount of stretch, and enough durability to take lick after lick, you can rebuild a fence in the morning and go out to dinner with your loved one in the evening without ever changing your pants. Nobody and nothing is perfect, but this pant comes pretty close.
The Women's Flex Canvas Pant is the highly functional & deep pocketed counterpart to the Men's Flex Canvas Pant. The midweight flexible canvas blend handles the scrapes and snags of home projects and gets even more comfortable over time.
Need a bombproof pant for heavier duty pursuits? Look no further than the Karst Pant. Our heaviest duty offering features an abrasion proof 1000D Nylon that's incredibly breathable for being almost indestructible.
Gifts for the Trail to Town Hero in Your Life
Climb. Hike. Bike. Run. Paddle. Hit the Town. We all have that friend who likes to do it all, and then meet you out for dinner and drinks after still in the same clothes. Thankfully, these pieces from LIVSN not only handle the trail with excellence, but look great on the patio afterward, too.
Our Benchmark Field Flannel is a heritage quality, unbrushed flannel with modern features and made with cotton, recycled bottles, and oyster shells. It mimics the wicking and temperature regulating qualities of traditional wool while remaining incredibly comfortable thanks to its cotton content. From trail to town, you're going to look and feel good.
It's truly the flannel from which to compare every other flannel.
The Forager Jacket might be the single most versatile piece we make. A myriad of utilitarian, cavernous pockets and timeless design join forces to make a truly standout piece both in form and function. We once fit 35 Montucky Cold Snacks into a size XL, so we know it will fit all the mushrooms you foraged on your hike.
All the utility and function of our Men's Forager Jacket, with a slightly cropped length for a timeless women's fit and feel. Forget losing pockets for fashion - the Women's Forager Jacket features the same utility as its male counterpart.
Gifts for the Sustainability Advocate
If you've followed us for any length of time, you'll know that we are consistently putting in the work to become more sustainable as a company. Are you a planet-conscious, fact checking consumer or know one who'd love a great piece of clothing they'll keep and love for years? Check out these products featuring reduced impact materials and intentional design. Like all LIVSN products, these qualify for repairs and our warranty.
Our Highlands Sweater is a quilted fleece midlayer made with people and planet in mind. Using Polartec® Powerair™ fabric, the Highlands Sweater is designed to retain heat and prevent microfiber shedding.
It looks great in photos, but it feels incredible on the skin. We turned the quilting inside out for this sweater, resulting in a silky smooth touch. This one's definitely worth checking out.
Ecotrek Trail Pants are made of 70% Blue Ocean® GRS Certified Recycled Nylon, 25% Nylon, and 5% Spandex with a PFAS-free C0 DWR Finish. Lightweight with 4-way stretch, they're one of our most versatile offerings and make an excellent hiking, climbing, biking, multi sport, and everyday pant.
The women's counterpart to the original Ecotrek Trail Pant. All the function of the men's pant with an ankle length inseam and fit that flatters. Go ahead, wear them 7 days in a row. We won't tell.
Yes, our Flex Canvas Pants get another feature - we've done a lot of work to reduce our impact here, including using organic cotton over conventional. Plus, they now come in Relaxed Fit for those of you who want a little more room.
Truthfully, the most sustainable shopping you can do is to buy secondhand. Check out our gently used, LIVDN listings over at our resale marketplace. You never know what you might find!
Gifts $100 & Under
For the budget conscious, we have a range of high quality pieces you can snag at $100 and under.
The Keystone is the foundational piece within our full body layering system and with its Tencel blend, you won't want to take it off.
Normally $129, the Reflex Pants are on sale as part of the Sunset Collection - a group of pieces we're no longer making due to design updates. Once they're gone, they're gone, so it's a great time to get a great price on a great piece of gear.
Hats are the cherry on top of a great outfit, and so it is the case with the Stowaway (or any of our custom hats). Snag these affordable, power little statement pieces here.
Happy Holidays from LIVSN!
From all of us at LIVSN, we wish you a very merry holiday season. Take stock in the year, squeeze in as much time as you can with friends and family, and we'll keep you excited for things to come.
