Beyond the Wheel

Overland Outfitters: Vintage Style, Rugged Function


Listen Later

In this episode of Beyond The Wheel, we’re joined by Jeff and Shrinka from Overland Outfitters—makers of premium, handcrafted storage solutions for Jeeps, overland vehicles, and RVs. You’ll hear how their company combines rugged function with vintage style, and how their mission extends far beyond just selling gear.

Jeff shares the design process behind their leather-and-canvas products, including details on how their real-world overlanding experience shapes each item. Shrinka opens up about the company’s origins, rooted in providing jobs and economic opportunity in her home country of India.

We also talk:

  • The difference real materials make (leather, canvas, military-grade acrylic)
  • How product ideas come from actual trail use
  • Their expansion into Sprinter vans and compact RVs
  • Why they don’t mass produce and how that allows for flexibility
  • The role of community feedback in refining new gear
  • What’s trending in the overlanding world
  • Whether you’re a Jeep owner, a van lifer, or just love handcrafted gear, this one’s worth a listen.
