This week marks the launch of a new venture between to friends; two midwestern guys obsessed with classic design, local production and most importantly, quality products. Buck Mason is a new American menswear brand, co-founded by Erik Schnakenberg and Sasha Koehn, who both have fond memories from their childhood's, hoping to grow up and be just like their dads. The uniform of work jackets, flannel shirts, Levi's and Red Wing boots spurred on their desire to create simple, everyday garments which will stand up all year around.
Similar to The Chapar, Buck Mason has have made the shopping bit easy. As well as buying items from their collection individually they have put together Packages, which include six essential pieces to easily fit into your wardrobe. For example The Starter Kit includes basic tees, henleys, oxford shirts and denim, all the stuff that guys want to wear. The denim itself is a 14 oz Selvedge slim fit, made on a 1940's shuttle loom and constructed in LA. All of their products are made in the US, using locally sourced fabrics, however prices have been kept impressively affordable.

that's really crazy that less then 3% of clothes bought in the US are actually made here. I just took an international trade class, so I don't buy into the whole "buy american!" thing, it actually doesn't help the economy at all, because it puts people (americans) who deal internationally out of a job. Just a fun econ fact for your day. :) With that being said, I do wish there were more companies that made quality products here.
ReplyDeleteI really like the video, very enticing (if that is a word?). Their shirts are lovely
ReplyDeleteI'm sold. What they say about finding American made brands in the states is sad but true. Love what the first guy says about how his dad dressed. :)
