Columbia Men's Casual Leather Shoes

Founded in 1938 by Paul Lamfrom, the Columbia Sportswear Company is an outdoor sportswear brand from Oregon. Lamfrom fled Nazi Germany a year before he started the Columbia Hat Company, named after the nearby Columbia river. The small company had initial success, which accellerated in the 1960s when they started producing other items like jackets, sweaters and other gear. Columbia is still family-owned, focusing on outerwear, sportswear, camping equipment and ski gear. The brand collaborated with New York retailer Kith in 2018 but is most known for its quality archive of vintage items, primarily water and winterproof jackets.
