The ORIGIN

INK, IRON, AND THE UNTAMED NORTHWEST

Emerald Valley Ink was born in the heart of Oregon's Emerald Valley, where misty mornings, tall evergreens, and small-town parades are part of everyday life. We started with a simple observation: The Pacific Northwest is rugged and beautiful—so why was the apparel celebrating it so cheap?

We exist to reclaim the "souvenir" from the gas station and elevate it to "heritage ware." Whether we are shipping to a neighbor in Eugene or a customer across the country, we deliver products that feel local, crafted, and dependable.

POWERED BY AIKEN NORTH (EST. 2019) We are not a startup. Emerald Valley Ink is the heritage lifestyle division of Aiken North, a dedicated full-scale production studio and commercial print company.

We bring industrial precision to every piece. We understand ink opacity, fabric weight, and the science of durability.

  • For the Retail Customer: You get PNW-inspired designs on premium heavyweight textiles that you won't find in big-box stores.
  • For the Print Professional: We offer the same high-fidelity DTF Transfers we use ourselves, available for your own brand.

OUR PHILOSOPHY We believe in "Old World Quality." We design for 1950, not 2025.

  • The Art: Atmospheric, painterly, and surreal.
  • The Garment: Issued on Heavyweight Heritage Jersey and Architectural Grade Fleece. These get better with age, just like a good pair of boots.

THE INVITATION If you love forests, coastlines, small towns, big skies, and designs with a little attitude, you’re in the right place. Whether you are a logger, a hiker, or just someone who appreciates a well-made shirt, we built this for you.

We are Emerald Valley Ink.
