Buck Mason is an American clothing brand founded in Los Angeles in 2013 by Erik Allen Ford and Sasha Koehn. Buck Mason sells men's and women's apparel online and through 33 brick and mortar retail locations in the US.[1]

Products

[edit]

Buck Mason produces casual basics like t-shirts, denim jeans, blazers, chino pants, and button-up shirts.[2][3][4]

Manufacturing

[edit]

Buck Mason uses a mix of US domestic and international manufacturing. In 2023, Buck Mason formed the Buck Mason Knitting Mill factory at the 150-year-old Mohnton Knitting Mills in Berks County, Pennsylvania.[5] The facility includes a knitting mill in Shillington, Pennsylvania and a sewing factory in Mohnton, Pennsylvania. Amidst the acquisition, many of the mill’s original employees were retained.[6] As of 2023, about 300,000 of the 500,000 t-shirts the brand sells annually are made in the US from American-made fabric.[7]

Publicity

[edit]

In 2016 the brand received its initial nationwide publicity via GQ when Tom Brady was photographed wearing a Buck Mason t-shirt for its Man of the Year feature.[8][9][10][11][12] Since then, the brand has been recommended by publications such as Vogue, New York magazine, and Wirecutter.[5]

Collaborations

[edit]

In 2023, Buck Mason partnered with Eddie Bauer to produce a collection of Responsible Down Standard down-filled jackets, pants and accessories.[13][14]
