At the heart of any successful hunt is the custom gear that supports it—and at Mattamuskeet Goose Club, custom gear isn’t just functional, it’s personal. For decades, the club has stood as a symbol of tradition, craftsmanship, and pride. That same spirit is woven into the custom gear and accessories designed specifically for those who call the club their second home.
From hand-stitched leather shell pouches to branded insulated thermoses, the gear at Mattamuskeet isn’t mass-produced or impersonal. It’s crafted with intention, tailored to withstand the unique conditions of coastal North Carolina’s wetlands, and rooted in the values that define the club. For members, these items serve not just as tools, but as heirlooms—pieces of gear that carry stories, memories, and legacy.
Members appreciate the uniqueness of custom gear that elevates their hunting experience and showcases their commitment to the club.
The idea for custom gear began not as a branding effort, but as a way to enhance the member experience with custom gear that reflects the club’s character—durable, practical, and timeless. Over the years, the product line expanded to include an entire collection of custom gear, like field-ready items and leisurewear, including waxed canvas hats, embroidered fleece vests, and waterproof blind bags that reflect both style and function.
This custom gear is especially designed to meet the needs of serious hunters while still honoring the club’s historic roots.
Each item is carefully selected or designed to meet the demands of serious hunters while still honoring the club’s historic roots. Many of the products are sourced from American manufacturers, with an emphasis on small-batch production and artisanal quality. For example, their leather accessories are produced by family-owned workshops in the Southeast, where traditional tanning and stitching techniques ensure each piece ages beautifully with use. This commitment to craftsmanship echoes the club’s own respect for heritage and detail.
With each piece of custom gear, the club creates lasting connections among members who share a passion for the hunt.
Experience the Quality of Custom Gear
These custom gear accessories also act as a badge of honor. Wearing the Mattamuskeet Goose Club logo signifies more than just membership—it’s a mark of belonging to something bigger. It’s not uncommon to spot a member’s custom gear like caps or duffel bags across state lines during hunting season, a quiet nod exchanged between waterfowlers who recognize the emblem and everything it represents.
Beyond aesthetics and quality, the gear serves a practical purpose in the field. From moisture-wicking layers designed to handle misty dawn hunts to heavy-duty thermals built for January’s bitter winds, each item is field-tested by club members and guides. The result is a line of gear you can rely on when conditions are unpredictable, without sacrificing comfort or style.
The custom accessories are available year-round on the Mattamuskeet Goose Club website, where members and enthusiasts alike can explore current offerings or preorder seasonal exclusives. During the off-season, the gear also makes for thoughtful gifts—perfect for birthdays, holidays, or welcoming new generations into the hunting tradition.
In addition to online access, members visiting the lodge often get the first look at new items. Limited-run designs are sometimes introduced during special events, and these pieces often become collector’s items within the club’s tight-knit community. They also help raise awareness for conservation and fundraising efforts, with proceeds from certain items supporting wetland protection initiatives or equipment upgrades for the property.
Mattamuskeet Goose Club’s approach to gear aligns closely with a broader national movement toward sustainable and ethical outdoor products. Organizations like Backcountry Hunters & Anglers have long advocated for gear that respects the land and enhances the experience responsibly. Mattamuskeet’s product philosophy embraces this mindset: thoughtful materials, ethical sourcing, and long-term use over disposable trends.
Ultimately, what sets the club’s custom gear apart is that every stitch, seam, and logo tells a story. It reflects the landscape, the people, and the enduring values that make Mattamuskeet Goose Club more than just a place to hunt. It’s a way of life—and now, it’s one you can wear with pride.
