KITANICA: FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED SINCE 1995
In the heart of Brooklyn, NY, Kitanica was born in 1995, forged by the vision of Beej Cronin, his brother Chris Cronin, and their cousin Leonard Riccio. Driven by a passion for rugged reliability and a commitment to American craftsmanship, Kitanica journeyed to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1997, where its reputation was solidified when Mythbusters' Adam Savage showcased their MARK IV on national TV. This pivotal moment highlighted Kitanica's dedication to creating overbuilt, American-made workwear that thrives in the harshest environments. From the demanding terrains of outdoor adventures to the rigorous demands of professional work, Kitanica embodies performance, durability, and unmatched quality. Our gear is crafted for those who face the elements head-on, built to endure and excel wherever the journey takes them.
