About Us - Our Story

Simsek Clothing Co. is founded in February 2025, in Boston, MA, USA by Muhammed Enes Simsek, also the CEO of the company. He studied Computer Science and Business Administration in college and wanted to bring his technical background and love of nature together to create this outdoor clothing company, that is not only technical and functional but also sustainable and luxurious.

Read the rest from our founder himself:

I met merino wool back in 2019, when I was still in college. A luxury lifestyle brand near my campus was selling it and I visited their website. I was mesmerized by the qualities of merino wool and I became an instant fan.

An idea of building a company based in natural fibers set off in my head back then. I just didn't have any idea on what kind of company would that be.

I moved to the United States relatively shortly after in 2021. I started living in Boston, an ever-changing weather, cold winters and humid summers.

My initial reaction was to stay at home and not go out during inclement weather or sometimes even when it was simply windy, to avoid horrendous windchill here. But I was missing out. Missing out of great adventures outside. Not exploring, staying home, doing nominally nothing, not skiing, not hiking. It was hard and against something that I had in me since I was a child.

Boston's weather pushed me to purchase research and buy different kinds of outdoor clothing. I tried many different brands. But after all that I realized no brand can offer adaptive clothing as a whole. I had to pick and choose from different brands for different purposes.

I also realized that outdoors start at my doorstep, what many brands ignore, that if I get my foot out of the door, then you can start any adventure. Usually this initial simple step is the hardest.

Even biking in the city is an outdoors activity. Enjoyed better with wool base layers. Trusty mid layers. Quality rain jackets or windbreakers. Starting from these seemingly urban outdoor adventure, all the way to skiing in the mountains should be explored, tried safely and in absolutely luxurious comfortable clothing and trusty gear.

All these shaped how I think about Simsek Clothing. Natural fiber based, luxurious pieces that one can wear in any weather so that they can keep exploring. They can keep going out even in inclement weather, as long as it is safe. And most importantly, overcome the fear of cold (or hot in the summer) with the help of right gear, so that nothing hold exploring the nature back. So we can ponder about it, get inspired by it...

That's how Simsek is born and it continues to serve the community both in Boston and across the country.

I sincerely thank your continued support in achieving our mission.
