Who We Are
Meet the Founders 🥾
Hi there! We are Josue and Jaden Ortiz, the dynamic duo behind Max Patch Co. Driven by a deep connection to nature and the joy of hiking, we decided to channel our love for the outdoors and creativity into a unique apparel brand. Our hope is to inspire others to get outside and that our brand will allow you to express your unique passions in your own way!
Why Max Patch ⛰️
The brand name, Max Patch Co., is a tribute to a special place that holds a significant spot in our hearts. On our 1-year anniversary trip to Asheville, NC, we discovered the Max Patch Trail, often hailed as "the crown jewel of the Appalachian Trail." This enchanting experience became the foundation of this brand, symbolizing the beauty, adventure, and connection found in the great outdoors.
Adventure Companions 🐾
We share our outdoor escapades with two furry friends, Maya (the bernedoodle) and Nala (the standard poodle). These dogs love accompanying us on hiking trails, adding a touch of canine joy (& often mischief) to our adventures.
