In 1937, the Boyle family escaped Nazi Germany, moved to Portland, Oregon and purchased a small hat manufacturer, renaming it the Columbia Hat Company. Columbia has since provided gear for skiers, snowboarders, hikers and everyone else who sees a challenge in the great outdoors. Naturally, the brand is best known for its jackets and coats. In 2018, Columbia collaborated with Kith on a capsule collection.
