About Purple Mountain Observatory clothing

PMO was started by Matt Braun during the pandemic, when getting outside became the thing people did instead of everything else. It is based in East London, which the founder treats as the point rather than an inconvenience — most outdoor brands come from mountain towns, and this one comes from a city where people still want to get to the hills at weekends. It began with group hikes and small activations before it was much of a clothing label at all.

Everything is cut unisex, with room for layering and movement rather than sized separately by gender. The team is small — five people, with production run by someone who owns the factory — which is why the range experiments more than most, including thermochromatic fabrics that change colour with temperature.

Purple Mountain Observatory jackets and fleece

The Ridge jacket is the one to look at first, including the glow-in-the-dark ecru version, alongside the Climate jackets in lightweight and hooded forms, the waxed Cygnus, the Stinger and the Breeze Ombre. For insulation the range runs from the Micro Fleece and Solo Fleck Fleece through the Borg Sherpa to the Shield Puffer and the Procyon and quilted vests.

Several mid-layers use Polartec, which is worth knowing because it is the difference between a fleece that traps warmth and one that also moves moisture out while you are moving.

Purple Mountain Observatory trousers, shorts and tees

The trousers are the strongest part of the range in search terms. The Blocked Terrain and Terrain pants are the ones people look for by name, with the Cotton Alpine and Loose Alpine as the roomier options and the Blocked Hiking pant the most walking-oriented. Trek, Waffle and Atlas shorts cover the summer end.

On top, the Waffle crews and long sleeves are the heavier textured option and the Globe, Orbital, Ascend and Map Projections tees carry the graphics. The Waffle Balaclava Hoody is the outlier and one of the better-known pieces — a hood that extends to cover the face, which is either the reason you want it or the reason you don't.

Purple Mountain Observatorium FAQs

An outdoor-influenced clothing label built around observational and cartographic graphics — globes, orbital rings and map projections — applied to shell jackets, fleeces, hiking trousers and printed tees. It sits between performance outerwear and graphic streetwear rather than committing fully to either.
An insulation designed to be worn while moving. Conventional insulation traps warm air and holds it, which is ideal standing still and too warm walking uphill. Alpha is built to insulate while letting moisture and excess heat escape, so it stays comfortable across a wider range of effort. Several mid-layers in this range use it.
A two-layer shell bonds the face fabric to the membrane and hangs a separate liner inside, which tends to feel softer and quieter. A three-layer bonds face fabric, membrane and backing into one piece, which is tougher and packs smaller but feels more like equipment. Both keep weather out; the difference is how they wear.
Some of the range is carried in our Manchester and Sheffield shops, though what is in store varies from what is online and changes through the season. Worth calling ahead if you want a specific piece in a specific size.
