In start of 21st century availability of outdoor clothing and gear materials was scarce in Europe. Zach Shelby gathered materials from here and there for his own outdoor gear projects. The Shelby as a brand was started in 2002, and this web-store in 2003.
Zach has been designing and making outdoor gear for hiking, winter camping and skiing since 1995 when he started life as a university student in Northern Michigan, USA. After immigrating to Scandinavia, the Shelby company was started to provide extreme materials and designs
to do-it-yourself enthusiasts, students, designers, and manufacturers. At the end of 2005 the Shelby Ltd. corporation was formed along with two other owners, Birgit Marbach and Heikki Hautala. Birgit, a German master tailor, adds expertise to the company. Heikki, an avid backpacker, climber and adventurer, expands our extreme designs, sales and service. The new company will continue its great designs, extreme material selection, and service. In January 2006 a new retail store was opened to serve our local customers in Northern Finland & Sweden.
