Our Rootz

Michigan isn't where we live. It's who we are.

Mitten Rootz is a lifestyle brand for Michiganders who love Michigan — every last season of it. Boating and fishing on the lake. Camping and campfires up north. Hockey and snowmobiles when the snow finally sticks.

We make apparel worth wearing to all of it: the dock, the rink, the cottage, the campsite and the small-town main street on the way home.

  • 11K+inland lakes to pick from
  • 2peninsulas, one bridge

Michigan Life

Four sides of the Mitten.

Every Michigander has a season they live for. Most of us have four. This is what we're built around — and what's printed on the shirt.

A year in the Mitten

From summer on the water to winter on the trails.

  • SpringOpening day. The docks go back in. Everyone pretends 48° is warm.
  • SummerUp North on Friday, sunburned by Saturday. Boats, bonfires and Sunday traffic on I-75. Worth it.
  • FallColor tours, cider mills, one last weekend at the cottage before the water gets shut off. Hockey season starts.
  • WinterSled trails, rink nights, lake-effect snow days. The Mitten doesn't hibernate.

Rooted in Michigan. Worn everywhere.
