The Montana apparel brand was started by Britt McGillivray while she was pregnant with her daughter. With the Mission Valley as her backyard, she found design inspiration everywhere she looked. And from there, her clothing line was born -- made for all the Mountain Mamas.   [![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/nIzfrxnVJ5_MXnyCu1Y5UQwsSYJ1_Vwf6be4DIVjSTJNTfsgkKy62PjRE8HfWTye8Ht1bTJr0PV60_z3bUJ7Skxmr_MtufbgFNDYj9MmDjV_R7_jFuDMAjn2kQr_bwpau6eQvoQe)](https://wholesale.alternativeapparel.com/imprintables/lazy-day-burnout-french-terry-pullover-sweatshirt-08626fh) [8626FH Lazy Day Burnout French Terry Sweatshirt in Dark Navy](https://wholesale.alternativeapparel.com/imprintables/lazy-day-burnout-french-terry-pullover-sweatshirt-08626fh)   Fast-forward to now, and her close friend -- and mom of two -- Stephanie Morton owns the brand and creates their designs. “I run a Made in Montana gift store called Great Gray Gifts. It’s a big tourist destination on the way to Glacier National Park. Britt had a lot of the M.O.M. merchandise in my store. I loved the brand and our values were perfectly in line. She called me one day and asked if I would take over. It was the perfect fit,” said Stephanie.   ![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/kasoZgxVh3jB1s8a5gd_MvxU1vf0cMhchsELMxxeYH0Vn_TjR6tkrro4Hs_mU1riZE0I7tk96PtvniTw_ZRA-nP6zd5wzGwB0CRyCMuGRse9Pgtwitn0xqRP8JnhIneUKw9B4hoe) Her store says a lot about the Made of Mountains vibe. “It’s relaxed and fun. We have a team of seven women and a tiny five-month-old baby who rounds out the group. M.O.M. production happens in the back. We also have an espresso bar, make huckleberry milkshakes, and sell other garments from different Montana companies,” she said.   As you can imagine, the outdoors are a special place for Stephanie. “The mountains are where I go to retreat, breathe in fresh air and enjoy the quiet moments. When I’m not in the shop making shirts, you’ll *always *find me in the mountains,” she said. One look at her designs and you can’t help but think nature.    ![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/y8Wavtrys-jQwZsGOljHH5f0az9dH2LJmyGC2dtblwLfqwmjryw7vXavU6D5GpWZU8KHLRxSoQKbcBfyKBN9AC0n3EosSOeMnSOARcT4ycTXkH_o9xz1ufYoLyGzrATdoehY6vhV) But there’s more to Stephanie’s line than the mountains. Her apparel has got to be soft and stylish, to keep those Mountain Mamas (and their little ones) looking and feeling good all day. “We strive to make garments for moms who want to be comfortable and still trendy,” said Stephanie. “We’re always looking for comfort when we choose our garments. Softness is key,” she added.    [![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/UegBZjfrLxjHpvhCLisjYgLIaDfUaZf2vFgfHMpUx7kUiaFS6qinX3L9wM6_VaNZXPHn2nlq228a3G2nGGe8HnQYQZkNtqwKvEvFz4wPYUs0pBkcJ6oS9wDezM_xbaWTzexBvaPd)](https://wholesale.alternativeapparel.com/imprintables/ideal-eco-jersey-t-shirt-01940e1) [1940E1 Ideal Eco-Jersey® Tee in Eco Light Grey](https://wholesale.alternativeapparel.com/imprintables/ideal-eco-jersey-t-shirt-01940e1)   As a top apparel brand for laidback basics, [Alternative](https://wholesale.alternativeapparel.com/imprintables/) is the perfect match. “We love the simplicity and style of Alternative. It’s trendy and functional. Over and over, we get compliments on the quality of their garments,” she said.

It’s a difference you can see and feel.     [![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/8cbU-h124j82jojHegDffUHWFAivkJfB07GNHW4x9uP3UYJYUsDFRrmQU-rscrcS1jvMpHzoL1WNtspI3SQhqFb7IESDm3A3jA0aZJvxU86IfeNmzQDKKDcllCy1gMea-7FJWkwI)](https://wholesale.alternativeapparel.com/imprintables/lazy-day-burnout-french-terry-pullover-sweatshirt-08626fh) [8626FH Lazy Day Burnout French Terry Sweatshirt in Nickel](https://wholesale.alternativeapparel.com/imprintables/lazy-day-burnout-french-terry-pullover-sweatshirt-08626fh)   Out of all the Alternative garments Stephanie prints on, our Lazy Day Sweatshirt is her top pick. “It looks worn but still has great quality,” she said. The best part? Its terry body is burned out in garment form for soft highlights. And when it comes to shirts, our [Ideal Eco-Jersey® Tee](https://wholesale.alternativeapparel.com/imprintables/ideal-eco-jersey-t-shirt-01940e1) is a store fave.
