Description

Built for those who don’t let a little winter weather stand in their way, the Empire Builder Mittens are your ticket to warmth, comfort, and durability when the cold sets in. Inspired by the historic Empire Builder railroad line, which carved its way through the heart of America, these mittens are crafted to stand up to the toughest conditions, just like the trains that once braved the snow-covered Rockies and windswept Great Plains.

Crafted right here in Duluth with extra-durable, reinforced palms, these mittens are made from premium buckskin sourced straight from the Midwest. The buckskin provides a sure grip, whether you're riding a rope tow, holding an axe handle, a snow shovel, or a steaming cup of coffee on a frosty morning. With a plush, warm fleece lining and a wrist cinch, these mittens fit snug to keep the chill out and the warmth in, so you can tackle whatever the day (or winter) throws at you.

    Raw Reliability

The Empire Builder railroad, established in 1929 by the Great Northern Railway, was named for the company's founder, James J. Hill—known as the "Empire Builder" for his role in expanding the railroads and opening up the American West. This iconic rail line ran from Chicago to Seattle, braving some of the most challenging terrain in the country. Much like those trains that carried passengers through snow-packed mountain passes and vast prairie lands, these mittens are made to endure, protect, and perform in the harshest conditions. So whether you're out clearing snowdrifts, collecting firewood, or just exploring the snowy woods, the Empire Builder Mittens are ready to go the distance—just like the legendary trains that inspired them.
