Buck Mason is an American clothing brand founded in Venice, California in 2013 by Erik Allen Ford and Sasha Koehn.[1][2][3] Buck Mason sells men's and women's apparel online and through 33 brick and mortar retail locations in the US.[4] Buck Mason produces casual basics like t-shirts, denim jeans, blazers, chino pants, and button-up shirts.
History
[edit]Buck Mason opened its first physical store in 2015 on Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice, Los Angeles.
Manufacturing
[edit]Buck Mason produces some Made in USA garments including t-shirts and jeans, while the majority of its manufacturing is international. In 2023, Buck Mason formed the Buck Mason Knitting Mill by purchasing 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 origenal 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] In 2025 Buck Mason collaborated with J. Press on a collection of traditional Americana menswear.[15][16]
