Kal Lester
Kal Lester, Lemont, Illinois, USA
My philosophy, as encapsulated by Syd Downey, PH 1933:
When you begin hunting, you go through three stages. You start by thinking you know everything, but of course you know nothing. The second stage is when you realise you don’t know anything at all. And the third stage is when you have learned a bit, but realise you will never know it all!
Maven Outdoor Equipment Co.
We deliver world-class optics straight to the user with no middleman and no retail markup. We’re a company focused on the design and creation of innovative products for, and by, the modern outdoorsman.
We refuse to compromise our mountain town roots to follow the well-worn path to a dollar. We choose instead to make game-changing gear and use it in the places and pursuits that inspire us…everyday. We broke the mold when we introduced our high-performance optics into the market in 2014 at almost half the cost of our competitors, the major European brands. We did this by implementing a Direct to Consumer business model and eliminating retail markup from the stores.

ELS & CO
At Els & Company, we strive to awaken the lost art of leather craftsmanship and to produce beautiful, well designed and functional products that you’ll only have to purchase once in your lifetime. We’re attempting to revive an era when pride in the quality of what you made was more important than how many you could make.
What further distinguishes Els & Co. from all other leather mongers is not only that every single stitch is made by hand, but that there is no production line and each item is made by one craftswoman from start to finish. The final touch is her initials that she stamps onto the leather, proudly signing her creation.
When investing in an Els & Co. product you are not only buying a top-end leather item, you’re also buying into a belief that we can all make a difference, one small bit at a time.
