Who We Are

Hi, We're Burlaep

This is the rad team that makes up the Burlaep crew. We are a small outdoor apparel company based in Chattanooga, TN. We hand print each product we make right here in good ol' Chattanooga. We use only eco-conscious inks & cleaners and print on sustainably sourced, super comfy T-Shirts.We're just a few dirt baggers stoked on the outdoors and makin' dope tees and other nature activity-inspired products. If you see us at the crag, the gym, or a brewery say hey!

What We Are All About

Here at Burlaep we are always evolving to find ways to be a better influence to our local and global community. Our main focus for all of Burlaep is to use our platform to tangibly contribute to the protection and preservation of land access for any and ALL, so we set out on a mission to do just that in 2010. We were just a few broke college kids with a desire to help others... that was really all we knew we wanted to do. We struggled for quite some time to come up with a game plan on how we were going to do that. Eventually we settled on shirts! We knew that people always like having cool shirt designs and that there would always be a market for that. So in late 2010 we sold our first shirt and have been doing it ever since! We've used the proceeds from the shirts to fund community projects locally, and internationally and we're always open to new ideas on how we can make a better impact! Always feel free to shoot us a question at theguys@burlaep.com!

Where We've Been

We had our humble start in Starkville, MS while we were attending Mississippi State University. Starkville showed us that even in small places people want to make a global difference. We were blown away by our local support. We eventually started a community project to open a small vendor shop in downtown Starkville. We called it "The Old House", (it was an old house). We let local vendors sell their merchandise and we also used it as a headquarters for Burlaep. During this time we really focused on trying to impact our immediate community by investing in projects locally and helping to support local vendors. 

Who We Are Now

The people who have been a part of Burlaep usually share 2 passions: Helping others and getting outside. The first is what we based the company after and the latter is what we base our designs on. We love being outside and soaking up some nature, and it was inevitable that love would flow over into our designs. We didn't really intend on becoming an outdoor apparel company, but our love for the outdoors just lead us in that direction. We eventually got tired of driving long distances to be able to enjoy some of the outdoor adventures that we love so much and that Chattanooga has to offer..so we eventually moved to Chattanooga, TN after college and couldn't be happier! Soon after our big move, we officially launched our flagship store as we continue to grow our brand in the area and find different projects we can be a part of (let us know if you have anything in mind). Between working our full time jobs and climbing as much as we possibly can, we think we can make some pretty rad, locally crafted and designed, outdoor themed shirts for a community minded purpose.You can find some of our swanky shirts and grab a cup of joe at our rad storefront and coffee shop in the heart of Downtown Chattanooga. You can find more of our rad tees at Four Bridges Outfitters in Downtown Chattanooga!You can also find us at the Chattanooga Market on Sundays for some freshly printed shirts or at our first flagship location and coffee shop, the Print & Press! Other than that, you'll probably run into us around the Chattanooga crags or our local gym! Cheers!

How we Giveback

At Burlaep, we’re deeply committed to supporting outdoor initiatives, especially those that protect and preserve the climbing areas we love. Through our give-back program, we partner with organizations like the Southeastern Climbers Coalition, the American Alpine Club, and other coalitions across the U.S., including those in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, and the Red River Gorge. We provide their membership shirts at a discounted rate, ensuring that the majority of the funds raised from item sales go directly back to their conservation and access efforts. This model allows us to support any and all coalitions dedicated to safeguarding outdoor spaces for future generations.
