Around 100 outdoor jackets and fleeces worth £12,000 were stolen in a shop break-in.
The clothing stolen from the Tiso store in Edinburgh included brands such as North Face, Craghoppers, Berghaus, Jack Wolfskin and Sprayway, which are popular among hillwalkers and climbers.
Police Scotland said collectively the clothing has an estimated retail value of £12,000.
The break-in occurred at the Tiso Edinburgh Outdoor Experience in Commercial Street, Leith, at around 1am on Thursday January 12.
Police said they believe a car or van was used in the theft and they have appealed for witnesses.
Detective Inspector Grant Johnston said: "We expect that a vehicle is likely to have been involved given the number of items stolen and we're keen to speak to anyone who was in the area of Commercial Street between 11.30pm on Wednesday and 1am on Thursday and who saw any suspicious behaviour.
"Likewise, if you're offered any items fitting this description, which are new but the owner cannot provide proof of purchase, please get in touch.
"If you purchase stolen items, knowingly or otherwise, they can be returned to their rightful owner, meaning a financial loss for yourself."
