Welcome to Outware

Outware is a bespoke designer that proudly manufactures in Australia dependable, sturdy and well-made products.

At 43 Degrees South our workshop in Southern Tasmania is surrounded by wild oceans and amazing mountains.
Here, nature informs and inspires our design and construction methods.

We create products that are robust and will last a lifetime. Functionality is important and so is good looks. We don’t compromise on materials, sewing or time. Outware gear looks smart on the street and it will always perform in a tough environment.

As Albert Einstein said “Things should be made as simple as possible but not any simpler” And that is our Philosophy!

We craft a range of bags, packs, satchels, garments and a host of other useful items for home, street, work or the bush. We use Australian manufactured canvas, nylon, webbing and PVC in our products and with over 40 years of sewing experience we can design and manufacture a one-off custom piece or a larger production run.

The main designer and sewist David Barlow, has decades of experience as an adventurer and tester of gear in tough environments. He is passionate about creating quality, functional and simple products that he would personally use.
