Mountain Khakis Example of Urban Dictionary Term MountainSexual”

(Jackson Hole, WY – December 22, 2009)  Mountain Khakis®, a premier outdoor-lifestyle apparel brand “Built for the Mountain Life”, is enjoying the Urban Dictionary assertion that the brand is known for its MountainSexual appeal.
 
It’s no new news to the folks at Mountain Khakis® that their premier collection of hips-down apparel has an air of sex appeal.  So when Urban Dictionary, the ever-popular user-created slang dictionary, touted Mountain Khakis® as a prime example of the term MountainSexual, the folks at MK weren’t surprised…

 

Per Urban Dictionary’s definition, “Similar to metrosexual but one who lives in the mountains or otherwise pursues the outdoors adventure lifestyle. Kind of a cleaned-up granola, a Woodsy GQ kinda guy with a splash of bohemian. Knows that he doesn't have to look or smell like a dirtbag to enjoy climbing, hiking, cycling, skiing (all forms), snowshoeing, etc. Probably reads Men's Journal, Outside, Outside's Go, National Geographic Adventure, even Wallpaper* and Dwell. Brands: Patagonia, Keen, Kuhl, The North Face, Mountain Hardwear, Marmot, Mountain Khakis. Strong environmental ethic. Drives a well-maintained truck, performance SUV, or cross-over when absolutely necessary but walks or rides a bicycle whenever possible. Works out gym but primarily to be in shape for outdoor pursuits. Shuns chain stores and shops in outdoor specialty stores such as The Trailhead in Buena Vista, Colorado. ‘For such an outdoorsy guy, that dude sure has great style.’”

 

The magic of MK taps the essence of the core mountain look and combines it with the attitude, culture, and total confidence of a true mountain town’s swagger.  The brand’s Jackson Hole roots may well have something to do with that MountainSexual appeal…

 

So get your MountainSexual on today by driving your well-maintained SUV or riding your vintage-cool cruiser to your nearest outdoor specialty store.  While you’re there, don’t forget to pick up that latest issue of Mountain Gazette or NGA to read at the bagel shop while you’re drinking a skinny latte out of your own mug and talking to your bro’s about the bottomless pow and view from the white room on the mountain yesterday.  Stop by the post office to pick up your mail and don’t forget the BGH-free milk at the market on your way home.  And know, all the while, that you look downright MountainSexual in those MK’s…

How Do You MK? - Rodney McDonald, ERSLA

ERSLA recently began delivering water filters to the families in Ducuali, Nicaragua.  Thanks Rodney for sporting some MK Original Mountain Pants. 

 

 

People have donated $50 for each filter and ERSLA has purchased this simple ceramic filter.  This filer eliminates 99.8% of all contaminates in the local water supply.  We have received donations for 157 filters, but still need more! The community is 167 families plus we would like to put a few in the schools so the children would have safe drinking water during the day.

We will be delivering as long as donations come. Help us fill the rest of our need at www.ersla.org.

Mountain Khakis Welcomes Sink Kimmel to Team

(Jackson Hole, WY – December 2, 2009)  Mountain Khakis®, a premier outdoor-lifestyle apparel brand “Built for the Mountain Life”, proudly announces new hire Sink Kimmel has joined the MK team as Sales & Servicing Representative (SSR).

Sink drinks coffee.  He likes fly fishing, Labrador Retrievers and Land Cruisers.  His adult beverage of choice is Fat Tire® beer.  He’s going to fit right in at Mountain Khakis®.   

Sure, there are more qualifying factors that led to the decision to hire Mr Kimmel to the MK SSR squad… central to which was his passion and zest for the outdoor lifestyle.  But Sink also comes with a pedigree of real-world outdoor experience.   

Mr Kimmel got his socks wet in the Outdoor Industry as a buyer and sales associate for Jesse Brown’s Outdoors Store in Charlotte, NC - a premier MK dealer.  Did we steal him?  Maybe…

Sink joins the MK SSR team at the company’s Charlotte, NC office.  “One of the many successes that has propelled MK’s rapid growth is our coupling of internal dealer support with an independent sales force,” says Martin Wilkinson, Mountain Khakis® Sale Manager.  “Our SSR crew supports our dealer base and rep teams by ensuring MK stays top of mind for all; be it count-and-fill replenishment, special terms and programs, or simply a call to check in.  They are MK’s direct touchpoint to our dealers – they know the staff members as well as most of their kids’ names.  Sink will be a great addition to this unique team.”

Among his personal interests, Sink is an avid competitive runner, a competitive cyclist, and an accomplished fresh- and salt-water fisherman.  “I have been a steadfast fan of Mountain Khakis® - of the company, the people and the product.  Their relationship-building culture impressed me from the beginning, as this a personal objective of mine,” says Mr Kimmel.  “My goal is to further cultivate existing dealer partnerships, bridge new dealer relations, and augment increased sales for both MK and our dealer base.  I’m thrilled to be a part of the MK team!”

Ask Sink his favorite style of Mountain Khakis® and he’ll tell you, “Best all-round MK award goes to the OMP: fully functional underneath waders or around a base camp, while refined enough to pull off at your friend’s wedding… (assuming your shirt is tucked in)!”

If you have a minute, give Sink a shout to say hi.  And good jokes are always welcome…
