Mountain Khakis has hired designer Molly Urquhart as product manager to bolster its product development and design team in Jackson Hole, WY.
Urquhart brings 11 years of experience at a time of substantial growth for the outdoor apparel brand. Her career has included stints with L.L. Bean where she worked in the mens, women’s and children’s outerwear, sportswear and active apparel divisions and Orvis, where she overhauled the Trout Bum collection and redeveloped their outerwear program.
“We’re thrilled to have yet another A-player join our team,” said MK co-founder & director of product development & design, Noah Robertson. “Molly’s experience and pedigree have made an immediate impression on our design course, and will further assert our position in the marketplace. We’ll continue to pursue a balance between all collections, and specifically grow the Women’s category with added energy and focus.”
Urquhart said Mountain Khakis appealed to her as an opportunity to be a part of a youthful, dynamic brand and business where she can be an active member of the company versus a specific category. “I’m most excited about making an impact on our women’s program,” she said. “My knowledge of design and fit will bring added emphasis to this already exciting collection.”
An outdoor enthusiast with a passion for hiking with her dog, Urquhart is a perfect fit for MK’s mountain culture and curious spirit. “I’m excited that this east coast girl has an opportunity to live out west
to explore the Tetons while doing what I love: designing great product. I am livin’ my dream right now.”
