About Chad North
Pairing his passion for the outdoors and his love of merino wool, Chad North set out to create the most versatile piece of outdoor apparel that he wanted yet was missing from the market–a merino wool kerchief. After a successful Kickstarter launch in June 2016, production began and North x North was born. The kerchiefs boast over 100 different ways to wear and use with much of their versatility coming from the premium Australian merino wool fabric. Each kerchief is hand sewn in his home state of Pennsylvania where they are tested year-round in the rolling mountains and forests surrounding the company. North x North continues to grow and now offers a full line of kerchiefs, handkerchiefs, and hooded neck gaiters while selling to customers worldwide on northxnorth.co.
