Naturally, the best fly fishing apparel is made and sold by TU supporters. No surprise there, right? It should go without saying that any business that cares about the future of fish and fishing enough give back to TU is one we ought to support in return. Those TU Business members, corporate partners and donors range from classic brands who sold gear to your grandparents to new, innovative young companies who are changing the face of the industry. Let me introduce you to one of those – Free Fly Apparel. Free Fly is owned by Tanner Sutton, Jenna Elliot and Austin Elliot, three young entrepreneurs who grew up on the water and wanted to provide a truly unique and perfectly suited for fly fishing and other outdoor passions. They founded their company on some great principles: There’s a difference between ideas born from cubicles and those that rise from passion. It’s that passion that inspires us at Free Fly to create products that are perfectly articulated from fiber to fit; never overbuilt or under considered. We’re a young, innovative company that makes comfort-first, highest-quality bamboo apparel designed to be worn sunup to sundown, season to season, year after year. Our days aren’t confined to a single idea or a short list of activities. There are a lot of reasons we’re unique, but there’s one thing that truly sets us apart: bamboo. We specialize in authentic performance wear built from naturally breathable bamboo fabric because there is a difference—a difference between the pieces you simply throw on and the ones you never want to take off. It’s the Free Fly difference, and you feel it every time you live in our gear. Freedom is a feeling we strive for. A childhood spent on the river or in the mountains is hard to shake. It’s a lifestyle that breeds a life, which is how Free Fly came to be. We grew up outside. We have always been passionate about the outdoors. When we were younger, this meant chasing our dreams and not getting caught. Today, you could call us a crew of dream catchers—pursuing our passions and making the most of it, creating products that make life better for our like-minded adventure seekers along the way. With the holidays coming up, we’re all looking for that perfect gift for a fly angler. How about a bamboo shirt, hoodie or polo? Might be just the thing for that bonefish trip, or maybe for trout fishing next summer. Check them out. They’re TU’s newest business member, and they’re part of the TU Team.
