To our Wintergreen community,
Happy New Year! As we step into 2026, I’ve been taking a moment to reflect on the journey we’ve shared over the past four years. Since 2021, we’ve grown in many ways and are enjoying a thriving community, and that is entirely thanks to your support and honest feedback.
Our clothing is created on the Main Street of Ely, MN in our brick-and-mortar location.
The Heart of Our Production: Northern Minnesota
When we talk about our growth, we have to talk about the hands that make it possible. We’ve built a strong, dependable team of skilled sewing technicians who work from our shop in Ely or from their homes across Northern Minnesota. By partnering with talented makers in our own backyard, we’ve created a production model that is both high in quality and incredibly efficient. This local focus has allowed us to keep our lead times down and maintain a healthy on-hand inventory, ensuring that when you find something you love, it’s ready to ship.
Our popular Lagom Fleece Hoodie in Teal, our highest selling color of 2025.
Built for You: The Success of the Lagom
Over these last four years, we’ve truly enjoyed getting to know your preferences and your lifestyle. Those insights are what allow us to bring unique items to market that actually resonate.
A perfect example of this is our Lagom Tops. We were thrilled by how well they were received and we feel it’s a reflection of the "just right" balance we strive for in everything we make.
Quality fabrics & craftsmanship create lifetime goods you can trust.
Our Promise for 2026
As we move into this new year, our mission remains focused on supporting local craftsmanship, speed and reliability, and innovation.
Thank you for being the most important part of our story. I am incredibly optimistic about what we will achieve together in 2026.
Warmly,
Jackson Harren
President, Wintergreen Northern Wear

Hi there, I just love the Wintergreen clothing I’ve purchased since the early 90’s when Sue and her team were making this specialty clothing.
I have had to replace one zipper in my warm blue parka with the fleece lining after the warranty was no longer valid.
Now, I need to replace another zipper in my green zipper down fleece jacket which is frustrating to me because I love this jacket so much. I’m not sure when I bought it, but it’s probably 3 or 4 years old. Is this unusual? Have you had other complaints? I just thought you’d like to know!
Peace, Janet Nilles
