About
Rare Sylvan is a Philadelphia-based outdoor brand reimagining what functional gear looks like beyond the trail. Our designs take inspiration from purpose-driven utility wear but are sharply reworked into pieces that feel intentional and distinctive—clothing that performs outside but turns heads in the city.
We choose fabrics for their technical advantages—like breathable, odor-resistant merino wool and ultralight, packable DCF tarp material—and design with usability in mind, incorporating features like multiple pockets to keep essentials close. The result is concept-driven, functional clothing with unexpected structure, playful details, and a quietly offbeat sensibility.
Inspired by the pragmatism of utility clothing and a desire to push outdoor fashion into new territory, Rare Sylvan is focused on launching its first collection—gear designed with precision, imagination, and intention to support your adventures and your daily life.
