History
Mel and Patricia Ziegler founded the company in 1978 as a safari-themed surplus outlet. The brand gained cultural significance for its unique hand-drawn catalogs and immersive store environments. Gap Inc. acquired the business in 1983, initiating a transition from niche expedition gear to mainstream professional apparel. This shift played a significant role in defining the business-casual aesthetic of the late twentieth century.Family
