Giving Back
Every order you place keeps this brand going. A few times a year we put something on the line that most of you would never buy for yourself, and one of you takes it home.
Now live: the APNVG giveaway runs until 11 October. Every full €20 you spend is a ticket.

For years I worked with kit I had to hand back in. Everything I carried belonged to someone else. The best part of what we get to do now is not owning the good stuff. It is putting it in the hands of someone who wears this brand.
You are the reason The Trace is here, so every now and then one of you gets something back. This is the full record so far.
