Michael Horn and SwiftWear turns community pride into made-for-you apparel

• Open Monday through Saturday
From family reunions and summer hats to sporting events and youth camps, Michael Horn has built Swiftwear on one simple promise: if people can imagine it, he can help make it real.
But for Horn, it’s more than a creative small-town business; it’s a long-term investment in Star Valley’s future. Through local partnerships, custom apparel, and community-driven projects, he’s creating steady work and helping keep money circulating right where it’s needed most.
“There is nothing long-term in the Valley,” Horn says, acknowledging a challenge shared by many rural communities: jobs and income can be seasonal, but families need reliable opportunities, and the community needs continuous income. “I’m trying to create a way to bring in outside dollars.”
With summer on the horizon—Fourth of July cookouts, family reunions, and local fundraisers—Horn’s message is simple: “Come visit me to get those shirts, hats, bags, totes, and more custom-made to your liking.”
From reunion merchandise and patriotic apparel to school spirit gear and event swag, Swiftwear specializes in designs that feel personal and make every occasion more connected.
Over the past two years, Horn estimates Swiftwear has produced about 250,000 pieces of apparel. And business isn’t slowing down—orders keep coming, and Horn keeps saying yes.
You’ll find Swiftwear’s prints across Star Valley: on soccer fields, in classrooms, and at youth events.
One of Swiftwear’s defining traits is community profit-sharing. A standout example: sales from Cassie Clinger’s merchandise, with 100% of profits donated to her children. It’s this commitment, to both production and people, that makes Swiftwear more than a business; Horn wants to be a part of the Valley’s support system.
Horn’s workdays start early: 3:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., when he works on production, and then the workday starts from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. for walk-ins and regular business hours. Horn reminds the community that he is a one-man show. He does everything himself. That being said, whether it’s national merchandise or custom shirts for a summer camp, Swiftwear scales up efficiently without losing the personal touch.
Horn’s long-term vision reaches beyond apparel—it’s about supporting the Valley’s economy through creativity and tourism. “The importance of tourism in the valley,” he notes, is central to his approach: visitors bring demand, and demand fuels income. Still, his focus stays clear. “There is nothing long-term in the Valley,” he repeats. “We have to bring in outside dollars.”
That idea shapes Swiftwear’s expanding partnerships, from the Jackson Hole Chamber’s Western Days events to ongoing collaborations with Nashville artists. Horn’s shop has produced more than 100,000 items for regional campaigns and shows no signs of stopping.
At its heart, Swiftwear isn’t just a storefront—it’s a custom service rooted in partnership. Horn sums it up best, “It’s a custom service. We can work together to make your project a reality. Stop in or call me, and we’ll get started together.”
