Recently Retired and Soon-To-Be Retired Designs
Creating new designs as often as we do means it’s inevitable that some existing designs will be retired. Overall, we think this is very good and exciting: coming up with new designs is what we love best (and we get the sense you guys like it too!). Still, it’s tough to say goodbye to some designs, especially those that have been around for many years.
So, with mixed feelings, we present to you this list of recently retired or soon-to-be retired designs….
Recently Retired
Citizen Canine Side Pockets
The Stowaway
Smart Alec Lower Modular Pockets & Accessories
Night Flight Travel Duffel
Brain Cell
The Brain Cell was our hard-sided laptop case. It’s been replaced by the Cache, which is TSA checkpoint-friendly and offers rails system functionality.
Skookum Dog Stuffed Bat
We were sad to see the Skookum Dog Stuffed Bat go, but we’re happy there’s plenty of Bats out there making dogs and people happy. We chose to make a Bat for our original Skookum Dog stuffed toy because we appreciate the positive impacts bats have on our world; to celebrate the retirement of the Stuffed Bat, we have made a donation to the Organization For Bat Conservation.
Tall Yarn Stuff Sack
The Tall Yarn Stuff Sack has been retired. We do, of course, still offer two other sizes (and four varieties!) of Yarn Stuff Sacks; see here.
Large Cafe Bag
The Large Cafe Bag is now out of stock and completely retired.
Founder's Briefcase Wedge
The Founder's Briefcase wedge has been retired.
Founder's Briefcase
The Founder's Briefcase is now out of stock and fully retired. This was a tough call. Both Tom and Darcy carry Founder's Briefcases as their work EDCs. Tom's been working on a couple of new briefcase designs and, though there's no ETA on when those will be available, it's time for us to start making room for their arrival. Once the existing Founder's Briefcases sell out, they'll be gone for good.
The Skookum Dog Sheepskin Bed
The Sheepskin Bed has been retired. It's out of stock and no more will be made.
The Field Journal Notebook
The Field Journal Notebook has been retired.
See this blog post for the reasons behind the retirement of the FJN + paper ideas/solutions.

Shop Bag, Small
We bid adieu to the Small Shop Bags; no more will be made.
