Trespass is a leading UK outdoor clothing brand founded by the Afzal family in Glasgow, Scotland. Originally starting as Jacobs & Turner Ltd in 1938, the company initially specialized in workwear and uniforms for organizations like the police. In 1984, the Trespass brand was officially launched to focus on specialized performance outdoor apparel, specifically skiwear and hiking gear.

Today, the brand is known for its wide range of affordable yet functional clothing, including waterproof jackets, fleeces, and accessories like the knitted beanie seen here. While the design and heritage are rooted in Glasgow, most of the manufacturing is outsourced to various locations globally, particularly in East Asia. The brand remains under the private ownership of the Afzal family through their parent company, Jacobs & Turner Ltd, maintaining its headquarters in Scotland and operating hundreds of retail stores across Europe and beyond.
