Pendleton is an iconic American textile brand synonymous with high-quality wool products, best known for its intricate Native American-inspired blankets and wool flannel shirts. The brand's history is deeply rooted in the Pacific Northwest, specifically in Oregon, where it began its journey as a family-run business over a century ago.

Today, Pendleton maintains a unique manufacturing footprint. While it is one of the few remaining major textile companies to operate its own wool mills in the United States (located in Pendleton, Oregon, and Washougal, Washington), some of its apparel and non-wool items are sourced from international partners in various countries. Despite global expansion, the brand remains committed to its heritage of craftsmanship and durability.

Ownership has remained remarkably consistent since the early 20th century. Pendleton is a privately held, family-owned corporation, currently managed by the Bishop family. This independence has allowed the company to preserve its brand identity and focus on long-term quality over short-term corporate trends.
