Beagle is the brainchild of outdoorsman and businessman, Stephen Jones, Sr. A lifelong Vermonter, Steve was always on the hunt for quality outerwear that suited his needs in the cold Vermont winters. Outerwear needed to be warm, yet lightweight, water repellent, yet quiet. The garments needed to be functional for a variety of activities, including hunting, ice fishing, snowshoeing, and hiking. Yet, no existing product met his satisfaction. And, thus, a product was born. In 1999, the first Beagle Outdoor Wear wool garment was created. Starting with a simple pair of wool pants that went through rigorous field tests and saw many modifications and revisions, the Beagle line has grown to be the most functional outdoor garments and accessories available on the market. Beagle Outdoor Wear is the next generation of wool. Thanks to innovative, high tech materials, Beagle Outdoor Wear manufactures quality water resistant, durable and breathable outerwear that also features the warmth and comfort of wool. Beagle's wool outwear line includes coats, jackets, pants, bib pants and various accessories. It is quality outerwear designed with the serious outdoorsman in mind.
