When I looked at what my lifestyle was really about, it really is just a classic, mid-west lifestyle. And I saw there was good opportunity to identify with the middle of the country and create a brand that stood for it.

The story of the brand quickly spread, as well as those of his nine younger siblings, onto a national audience--with celebrities like Jon Hamm and Chris Long donning the gear.

The clothes reflect that city-country type of lifestyle that is not only in St. Louis, but also in a lot of Midwestern cities.


It isn't showy or ornate. Not a single stitch is ostentatious, and it couldn't be further from flashy.

This collection is, plain and simple, normal. Turns out, there's a market for that.
