Finisterre Founder Tom Kay
My parents brought me up with a love of the sea. This runs through Finisterre, the brand I started, born out of making innovative product for cold water surfers.
It all started in a flat above a surf shop with a three page website, then came a fleece. Waterproof, made in Devon, designed specifically for cold water surfers. From this first product over 10 years ago to a diverse range that now includes Merino backed denim jeans, jackets that can go the distance on the coldest of days, a penknife made in collaboration with a 300 year old Sheffield steel maker, and our Bowmont knitwear, the founding ingredients still ring true. We’ve stuck to our guns, incredible people have walked through the workshop doors to drive us forward, we’ve won awards, and although we’ve never been ones to go looking for them, they do help top up our tanks. One of the things I’m most proud of is seeing the places our products go and hearing the stories that go with them. I guess if it works in the harshest environments, we can be pretty confident it will hold its own anywhere and for a long time.
