Everyday I hear more and more great stories about people just up and starting companies, and Scout Seattle is another one to add to that inspiring group. The Masters, the husband and wife team behind the new brand Scout Seattle, moved from Florida to Seattle and noticed they were spending a lot more of their weekends outdoors among the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges, Puget Sound, the high desert and rain forests near the city, and lot less of their weekends indoors in air conditioning. So they embarked on a business to bring back that old-school analog aesthetic to car camping of generation's past. Scout Seattle offers an edited list of American-made items including single pole canvas tents, field beds, pocket knives and a cotton chambray bandana—which is being given away!
To enter to win the Semaphore Square bandana made from Japanese chambray, leave a comment and cross your fingers! I'll pick a winner at random tomorrow evening. Good luck!
***The winner is Korey*** who said: I've always wanted to run away with a clean pair of underwear, a cheese sandwich and a teddy bear wrapped up in a kerchief on a stick. . .(haha, nice!)

I love their stuff! That tent is perfection, and it really makes me wish it was "get out there in the woods/dunes" weather, already.
Fingers crossed. ;)
What a wonderful finishing touch!
Moonrise Kingdom, anyone? Makes me want to go camping with my record player, haha! Love it!
Love the bandana's two-tone design. Thanks!
me me me!
What a gorgeous bandana!
Reminds me (a Rhode Islander) of the perfect weather worn nautical flag!
What a great bandana. Love their site - beautiful things and amazing photos in the Journal section.
crossing my fingers!!
I checked out their website - very nice. Love the bandana's colors. Thanks for the give away!
God, such brilliant gear! This Seattlite has her fingers crossed.
Oh man, I could totally use a sturdy bandana like this on an upcoming trip to Argentina. The gauchos will be so jealous.
Keep up the good work!
Great stuff! I love their single pole tent. Is it wrong that I want to set it up permanently as a getaway in my loft?
And my toes!
I love companies like this!

Oh! Love this! Would be such a nice change from my floral bandanas. And a great reminder of one of my favorite cities :)
What a dream giveaway. Chambray anything is the best.
Exciting!....I don't know what Japanese chambray is, but it looks very cool.......k
That square bandana is bangin. I'd wear it as a scarf, tie it around my bag, use it as a pocket square, or just pin it up on my wall. Drool.
LOVE scout seattle! xx
Love it! Crossin my fingers..
I also love hearing about new start up companies ... and this sounds like a good one. I am amazed at the amount of things the semaphore square can be used for! :) Thanks for the opportunity.

I've had one of their pocket knives on my wishlist forever! Gorgeous bandanna too!
So much love for any company out of my hometown!
I live in Seattle and am embarrassed to admit that I haven't heard about this company! But now I love it, naturally. ;)
I live in Seattle and am embarrassed to admit that I've never heard of this store! But now I will definitely pay them a visit ;)
so cool!!
Reminds me of my new year's resolution to learn how to whittle wood :) I've got to make it out to Washington - looks gorgeous..
What a rad company! Instead of crossing my fingers I will do as the Germans do and press my thumbs.
Very chic--definitely out of my price range, but great looking...I'll cross my fingers anyway!
Oh! I would love to camp in that tent. And use the knife in my floral arrangements. What an awesome set. Thanks for the giveaway!
getting to the outdoors more is one of my new year's resolutions :)
Thanks for the chance to win!
This item has tons of purposes! awesome!
Bring on the warm weather, I'm ready to go camping!
very special stuff
I am taken by this bandana's infinite mutability!
Fingers crossed !!
YESSSSSS!!!
Why is everything so gooooood in Seattle?! I swear half the people I follow on Instagram are amazing photographers who live and breathe Seattle culture!
Alison, haven't you heard? We have to pass a "so good" test to be allowed into Seattle! Haha, no the culture is great to help us survive the long, wet, gray winters.
Love the pole canvas tent. Could definitely use that with my girls this summer!
YEAHHHH SEATTLEEE!!!!
I've been collecting pocket knives. Would love to have this too!
The tent would be perfekt because mine is to heavy and huge vor a backpacking trip through the woods.*crossing my fingers*
i am moving the the pnw in two months- it would be great to be outfitted in a little piece of the area before then!
pretty pretty!
oh yes please!
Me please!
What a lovely bandanna! I would love to win :)
AMAZING! Have a great rest of your day!
Lovely stuff, as always :)

Yes... Bring it back! "Old-school analog aesthetic to car camping" is essential to the New World order. I always tell my kids to spend one night a year sleeping in a car... but not one of them owns a vehicle!
love this...fingers crossed!
Loving the old-school technologies and aesthetic. Makes me wish I lived in the west again!
Very cool stuff

Oh, wow. I could definitely use one of those to... you know, look cooler.
Inspires a resolution: more outdoor adventures in 2013!

Lovely! Thanks!
I need a field bed for my office!
another reason to leave to the Pacific NW.
the quality of this stitching and materials already looks amazing cant wait to see what else they put out there!

I've been on a trip in South Africa just over a week now, and employing all of my Girl Scout skills (was one for 9 years)! Sure wish I had a great bandana like this one in the hot, humid fields!!
I love how the colors balance the masculine and feminine. Such great style.
Very cool gear...I love it! :)
Oh man, their gear is almost as beautiful as Seattle is.
Cool bandana. Would love to win it. Thanks!
nice giveaway!
nice giveaway!
I've always wanted to run away with a clean pair of underwear, a cheese sandwich and a teddy bear wrapped up in a kerchief on a stick. . .
Love your blog! The tent reminds me of the canvas tents we used to use in Girl Scouts. Such good memories!
All really lovely, but I wonder just how efficient that single-pole tent would be. That said, love that bandana!
great bandana! I would love to use it as a headband or tie around a bag. Their website is fantastic!
I want to start a USA made business like this! Always inspirational!
I love their stuff, and this bandanna looks like an old one I lost while skiing on Mt Hood a couple weeks ago! Fingers crossed!
I love their shop! Hope I win! xs
Makes me nostalgic for camping trips as a kid, love the classic feel and initiative from small businesses!

hi.

Crooossing my fingers! Thanks for the lovely giveaway. I'm so excited for more US-made companies to show up :)
I love this concept! Washington State is just beautiful. Thanks for having this giveaway :)
fingers crossed! It's such a snazzy bandana!
I adore japanese cotton... so nice.
This tomboy at heart loves this.
Perfectly tomgirl-ish! Fingers crossed :)
Beautiful products, beautiful site, and great name for a line. Nice job, Scout.
I love the old fashioned quality, and the uniqueness of their items.
Cool stuff!!!! Love the knife!!!
That bandana is perfection! Loving the idea of this company and might need to purchase of few products for my next camping trip in a few weeks.
I'm a big fan of a lot of the stuff you post. I'm a big fan of that kind of vintage aesthetic. However, I am also a big fan of staying dry when I go play in the mountains, and none of there stuff seems to be remotely functional for that purpose. Cotton? really? It doesn't dry and it stays cold. It would be great to see someone merge style and function, but this stuff seriously misses the mark. I would NEVER take someone camping in the Pacific Northwest with this gear. I spend a lot of time in those mountains and it rains and snows a lot! Sorry to be the jerk who calls you out this, but it looks like gear for people who want to look outdoorsy, but aren't. There are a lot of fabrics these days that would allow the same look, but also give you a much dryer experience. You should totally give it to the girl who wants to set up the tent in her loft. This stuff is perfect for that.
I love their journal reference to the Banawe Rice Fields in the Philippines. I was born in Baguio, Luzon and it's really this breathtaking.
ooo seattle love!
me, me, me, me!!!
So perfect for this Maine girl!
Thanks for the giveaway. That tent is darling!
I love camping!
I would be honored to wear this bandana!! I love the whole aesthetic Scout embraces
Love it!
I love this so much! The colors make me think of Fantastic Mr. Fox or Moonrise Kingdom. I need a cute bandana in my life.
today IS my birthday, so...
It seems to me its more for the "camping" as in sleeping in the car kind of activity. I have two sets of outdoorsy things, the "hardcore" items that are specifically engineered for staying warm and dry and helping you survive away from civilization, and the "casual" set that is more for sleeping in the car as a hotel replacement or day hiking in texas. I see a place for both sorts of items, at least for me (of course I do live in sunny TX) but agree that its important to not try to do the first kind of outdoor activity with equiptment meant for the second.
(Ironically the last thing I wrote was about "car camping".. looks like its trending. :)
How cool is this?!?!
