Sahalie was founded in 1972 in Hillsboro, Oregon, by William Nicolai. Originally called Early Winters, the company began by selling silk thermal underclothing and waterproof tents made with Gore-Tex linings.
The company has been sold several times over the years, most recently to Bluestem Brands, the former Fingerhut company. Sahalie continues to sell Early Winter brands, as well as Sahalie clothing, shoes, dresses, and coats. The company sells via their eCommerce site and prints a yearly catalog. The name Sahalie comes from the Chinook word for a “high and lofty place”.
The company is best known for their non-nonsense styles and for soft jackets and pullovers called “butter soft”. Headquarters for the parent company, Bluestem Brands, is located in Eden Prarie, Minnesota.
