Description |
In 1965, Sportif USA began as a small business in southern California, headed by John G. Kirsch. In true entrepreneurial style, Kirsch sold tennis shorts from the back of the family's station wagon, gradually building a reputation for quality and comfort. As this reputation grew, so did the market for high-quality outdoor clothing.
Tennis shorts led to hiking, which led to fishing and nautical apparel... and so the Sportif brand took shape. By 1968, Sportif had developed the first stretch fabric in the outdoor/boating industry, and its Original 7-Pocket Stretch Shorts were becoming a staple for outdoorsmen nationwide.
In the early 70's, John moved with his wife and children to the beautiful Sierra Nevada, where his blossoming manufacturing business took root.
For the next two decades, Sportif USA would continue to be an innovator in the outdoor clothing industry, as one of the first companies to utilize Gore-Tex and sun-protective fabrics. In the world of private label contracting, Sportif established itself as a premier manufacturer for companies like Eddie Bauer, L.L. Bean, and others.
In a cruel twist of fate, John Kirsch's twin-engine Beechcraft plane crashed in the snow-covered San Bernadino Mountains in March 1991. John Kirsch, Jr. boldly took the reigns as President, and with his siblings, decided to continue the dream his father had spent his life pursuing - to position Sportif USA as a leader in the outdoor apparel industry.
The Kirsch family was able to dramatically alter the nature of Sportif's business, shifting it away from private label manufacturing and towards a bright independent future.
More than 40 years later, Sportif continues its legacy of quality, style and function with two distinct product offerings. With vibrant colors, fresh functional styles and performance fabrics, Aventura Clothing blends everyday adventures with everyday clothing. For the outdoor and boating enthusiast, Sportif offers enduring designs and distinctive nautical products through the unique Waterfronts catalog.
We invite you to celebrate over 40 years of outstanding quality and service and to take part in the fulfillment of a desire, a dream and ultimately... an Adventure!
