Ember Heritage
Great textiles begin in the shearing shed.
American-made apparel built from source-verified bison fiber, in limited runs.
Built from the Same Fiber
One material. Two expressions.
The Brackett Creek JacShirt
Structured, durable, and built for daily wear.
Cut from a dense 21 oz bison-wool cloth, the JacShirt carries the full character of the fiber -
warm, resilient, and made to break in over time.
Artist-In-Residence Blanket
The same fiber, reinterpreted for rest.
Woven to retain the warmth and depth of the material, the blanket is designed for rest, travel, and everyday use.
Great textiles don’t begin in the mill. Great textiles begin in the shearing shed.
For more than two decades we have worked with natural fibers, learning that quality begins with how fiber is harvested, handled, and respected.
Through the Montana Bison Fiber Collective we are building the American bison fiber supply chain from the ground up, creating durable textiles entirely in the USA from North America’s rarest natural fiber.
From Bison to Cloth
Rare fiber deserves a thoughtful process.
Each Ember Heritage garment starts with professionally harvested bison fiber and moves through our deliberately constructed, entirely American textile process.
Bison fiber is one of the rarest natural fibers in the world.
Warmer than wool and as soft as cashmere, bison has historically been underutilized because it was never harvested professionally.
Ember Heritage begins where great textiles should… in the shearing shed.
The Fiber Story
After decades in shearing sheds and textile mills, Peter Connelly came to a simple conclusion: that great textiles begin long before the mill.
After years in shearing sheds and mills, Pete began asking a simple question: why was one of North America’s most remarkable fibers never harvested properly?
Ember Heritage grew from that question — and from the belief that great textiles begin with respect for the fiber itself.
The Ember Heritage Codex
Great textiles begin in the shearing shed
Fiber must be respected before it is processed
Materials should be rare but honest
Craftsmanship must outlive fashion
Every garment should be worthy of inheritance
The Montana Bison Fiber Collective
Ember Heritage is part of the Montana Bison Fiber Collective - a working system connecting ranchers, shearers, mills, and makers to restore integrity to bison fiber.
