"Let's ride..."
Grab a tee, grab a bike, and hit your favorite road or trail.
Welcome to Twin Forks Trading Co.
We started Twin Forks in 2017 as a collaborative-based apparel company.
By partnering with our parks systems, schools, artists and youth programs, we wanted to create unique apparel and accessories, all with a 'give-back', so that every purchase would help make a difference.
Perhaps you're an outdoor enthusiast like us, and your purchase helped preserve and protect that park or trail. Or you find that new, vintage-inspired school tee or hoody, knowing you just helped fund school related activities.
Whatever you find, through our licensing agreements and partnerships, a portion of your purchase helps fund that park, school, artist, youth program, or whatever else you love.
Our goal is to help bring awareness, give something back, and allow you to wear your pride!

Chris Vance Tees
Twin Forks and Chris Vance have teamed up to bring some of his unique art to tees for both adults and kids. If you live in the Des Moines metro, or have even visited, attended the Des Moines Arts Festival, or even Moberg Gallery, you have likely spotted Chris' amazing work. Chris is often asked at shows for tees showing his work, we are happy they do, and now have our initial assortment available. Stopping at Chris' booth at the annual Des Moines Arts Festival is always a must, and a highlight for our children. They love the faces, the color and imagination they can literally see in Chris' work. But taking his painting strokes to a tee isn't easy. We used some new software to create soft layers on our tees that appear like they are painted. We are excited about how both YOLO and the BEE turned out, really illustrating a painting and look forward to many more pieces coming soon!
DM Parks and Rec
For Fall 2017, Twin Forks is creating new and original graphics that celebrate our Des Moines Parks. Through an agreement with the Des Moines Parks and Recreational Dept, we are creating a line of tees that showcase some of these great spaces like, Gray's Lake, Western Gateway Park, and Union Park. Call it 'wearable-awareness' of all that Des Moines does to fund and maintain such great parks and rec areas for all. And a portion of every sale goes back to the Parks Dept!
