A couple of months ago Tradition Creek celebrated their 14 year anniversary of being the outfitters for the American outdoors. Our history has carried us from a garage to a warehouse, to our beloved retail store on West 7th Street, and back to our current warehouse in Minneapolis.

We have been honored to outfit some of the finest outdoorsmen and women around who prefer American-made wool and flannel to lessor materials.

With the COVID-19 pandemic, we took a break from doing retail shows around the country and focused on selling online and in our network of retail stores around the country.

With the pandemic in the rear-view mirror hopefully, we can continue to bring our clothing and equipment to you.

Thank you for your continued trust and loyalty.

We would like to welcome the Repair Lair located at 3304 East Lake Street in Minneapolis to our proud list of retailers offering Tradition Creek goods. Thank you for bringing us on as a line! Stop in and check out Nancy’s Store, it’s pretty amazing!

The hunt is on this fall and now is the time to ensure your property is properly and legally posted to ensure hunters, hikers, and others follow your property guidelines.

American-made signage from Tradition Creek is a great way to post your property and inform potential trespassers or invited guests of where your property boundaries are, if they can trespass or not, and more.

Most states have laws regarding how far apart signage should be, what color it should be, and how big the text should be. Make sure you look up these codes and ensure compliance.

Tradition Creek offers a wide variety of property posting signage for all your property needs. Check out our signage department today.

A few years ago we had a booth at the Minnesota State Fair in Saint Paul, Minnesota and while most people we so very impressed with our garments, there were a few people that would look at them and say, “wow, that price is crazy, I can buy that at (insert big box name) for half that.”

I would shake my head because they were just looking from a distance. Sure you can probably find something that looks like that at a big box store, but if you look closely, the devil in the details.

Made in America is not just something on a tag. Made in America means that the person sewing that garment could be your neighbor and so they put extra special care into handcrafting it.

Our garments are double stitched at most seems using the finest of fabrics. The buttons are hand sewn, and you can reach out to the guy that sold it to you.

Think twice before thinking you can buy a similar garment at a big box store, the devil is in the details.

I just got back from a wonderful trip to the North Shore of Lake Superior and was inspired to share the experience with you. From the minute you first see the largest body of freshwater in the world to each of the stops you make along the historic Highway 61, it is an amazing trip, one that every person should take at least once.

The little shops, like Tom’s Logging Camp, the cafes like Betty’s Pies, and of course the large collection of creeks, rivers, and waterfalls will surely take your breath away.

Hopefully you too will have the opportunity to make it up there before too long!

Greetings from the Land of Lakes,

Between snow following and temps dropping we have had one heck of a winter here in Minnesota. It’s a great time to remind people to stay safe outside.

We get a lot of questions about the technical nature of the products we carry. Wool is a natural insulator. Sheep have been using wool to keep warm for quite a while! That said, dressing in layers, knowing your limits, and keeping dry are also important things to keep in mind when venturing into the wilderness during these cold, cold days.

As the weather is turning around the nation we are reminded once again at how comfortable a nice flannel shirt is. Our 8oz double brush flannel shirts are the perfect thing for those chilly fall and winter days. Our Longfellow flannel is one of the heaviest flannel shirts made, and it’s made right here in the USA.

We appreciate your continued support of American made products,

Shawn R. Murphy

I spent the weekend near Breezy Point Minnesota, camped on the north shore of big Pelican Lake this past Memorial Day weekend. It was almost 100 degrees out there. Crazy that just a month before it was -15 and 22 inches of snow, solid ice covered the lake.

It seemed like it was more of a July 4th type weekend up at the lake. Just glad summer is finally here.

From all of us at Tradition Creek, have a safe and happy new year! All the best to you in 2018!
