Altiplano Insulation – Loveland

FacebookTwitter

Stan and Dianne Ebel, run the business, Altiplano Insulation (A.I.) from their office barn near Loveland, CO. They make high quality, sustainable outerwear from llama fiber.

It’s the perfect clothing for those who play and work in the outdoors. The beautiful material provides longterm protection, value and comfort. They make a range of jackets, sweaters, vests and pullovers for both men and women.

The most sustainable Clothing on the market

A.I. had its early beginnings in south central Nebraska when Stan and Dianne were tending the family farm and at the same time, developing a herd of llama for breeding and packing. Being avid outdoors people, it didnโ€™t take long before they moved to Colorado and devoted full time to building the business of breeding the animals and outfitting those who love to trek the mountains.

After a number of years in the business, Stan decided that llama fiber would make wonderful clothing for the mountains. He designed the garments and after some investigation in the U.S. decided to purchase the fiber from Bolivia and Peru and have the sewing done in Peru.

Having the garments created in South America was not without its problems. Stan and/or his son, Nate, found it necessary to fly to Peru with a suitcase or two full of zippers because the sewing company in Peru could not get the heavy-duty zippers for the garments. The immigration people would give a surprised look when they inspected the suitcase! There was also the time that they had to speed to the airport past burning tires as a revolution was in progress. All of that is now in the past.
