Big Dog, Pigeon Forge

Big Dog Sportswear was conceived in 1983 by friends during a weekend river-rafting expedition. Before the adventurous group made its way down the choppy white waters, each was presented with a pair of oversized, vividly colored shorts. Everyone loved the shorts and one enthusiastic member exclaimed, "Man, these puppies are BIG!" Thus, the phrase that became the inspiration for the legendary Big Dog name and logo was born.

Big Dog Sportswear produces high quality, reasonably priced active wear and accessories for men, women, and children of all ages. Created at their headquarters in Santa Barbara, California, their collection of graphic tees, lifestyle apparel, and accessories reflects the activities and sports popular in California and across the country.
