ABOUT US
Honoring History through Heritage and Sport
Since 1986, Galtsand has woven heritage into every stitch, creating garments that honor the past while embracing the present. Founded in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, we believe that, like sports, what we wear is a universal language connecting generations, cultures, and communities. Our commitment to excellence begins with materials, from thoughtfully sourced fabrics to eco-friendly innovation. Meticulous tailoring and expert craftsmanship define every piece. Innovation drives our in-house textile development, creating materials that support both performance and the planet.
Our journey began with the creation of a simple yet iconic garment—a loose-fitting, round-neck sweatshirt. Our designs quickly earned love across generations, symbolizing heritage and comfort. Partnerships with the NCAA, NFL, and Wildlife Organizations followed, driven by mutual respect for what each stood for.
Core Values
At Galtsand, core values shape everything we create. Heritage grounds us in timeless craftsmanship, Craftsmanship ensures every detail is built to last, and Connection inspires movement, community, and real-world experiences. These principles guide us as we design for those who live fully—beyond trends, beyond screens, and into the world.
