Finisterre

Finisterre, adventure clothing born from the sea

Finisterre is a British outdoor and adventure clothing brand that has been operating since 2003. Its catalogue is built around garments designed for use in the natural environment and for everyday wear, with a declared inspiration in the sea. The company presents itself as a brand of consciously constructed products and holds B Corp certification.

The brand maintains a line of work linked to transparency and responsibility in manufacturing, and structures its activity around two main areas: the sale of clothing and accessories, and a series of after-sales services aimed at extending the life of its products.

Men's and women's garments and collections

The catalogue is organised into separate sections for men and women. In both cases it includes jackets and coats, gilets, fleeces, knitwear, shirts, trousers and jeans, sweatshirts and hoodies, T-shirts, shorts, swim shorts and board shorts, base layers and underwear, as well as wetsuits.

Among the standout garments shown in the shop are the Stormbird waterproof jacket, the Forecast windbreaker jacket, the Barents jumper, the Firecrest jacket, the Farren fleece, the Basset Trucker jacket, the Skye Waterproof Parka jacket, the Shipyard Insulated jacket and the Nebulas Insulated jacket, among others. The brand also sells a collaboration with designer Amy Powney, with garments such as a long waterproof jacket, an Aran knit jumper, a cardigan and a fisherman rib crew neck jumper, an oversized padded jacket, an oversized sweatshirt and a pleat front trouser.

The accessories section includes socks, hats and beanies, bags, footwear, changing robes, swim accessories, scarves and bandanas, belts, water bottles and other outdoor items. The shop shows specific references such as the Watchcap beanie, the Workshop Cotton Duck cap, the 45-litre Keel bag and the Bosun and Finisterre Crew socks.

Wetsuits and rental

Finisterre sells wetsuits made with Yulex material and offers a rental service for these suits. The website includes a specific guide to help choose the right suit according to the user's needs.

Repair, resale and care services

The company maintains a line of after-sales services under the concept of lived and loved products. Through its repair workshop, it repairs Finisterre garments; through its resale programme, it offers second-hand clothing and collects used items through its takeback system. It also publishes garment care guides and an initiative to transform wetsuits into new products.

Environmental commitment and certification

The brand holds B Corp certification and publishes information about its impact, its factories, its carbon footprint and its sustainability reports. Its initiatives include the Finisterre Foundation, aimed at inspiring love and protection of the sea, and programmes such as Seasuit Project, Wetsuit Project, Level Water, City Kids Surfing and Tonic Surf. The company collaborates with ocean partners and organises campaigns such as Blue Friday and World Ocean Day.

Content, community and collaborations

Finisterre maintains a blog, The Broadcast, and a podcast, Hell Or High Water. It has ambassadors and a community linked to surfing and marine life, and publishes stories about people such as Tom Crowe, surfer and RNLI and Coastguard volunteer, and Fiona Curtis, freediver. The brand has collaborated with brands such as Blundstone, XTRATUF, VEJA, Baabuk and Snow Peak.
