Leave the planet better than you found it. Shopping from Ugmonk is a lot like buying from your neighborhood corner store. Not only are you supporting our family, but you’re also supporting other, extraordinarily hard-working small businesses...

Our leather goods are crafted by two makers in Kansas City, our hats are handmade in Seattle, and our shirts are made in a small factory in LA, one of the last US clothing manufacturers still operating. We pay our partners fair wages because we want them to feel secure and valued. And, for operations, we hire our family and friends.

Now, with all that said, if I’m lucky enough to call you a customer, great. But, if for whatever reason you don’t see anything that catches your eye, please walk away with this…

I encourage you to leave the world better than you found it by thoughtfully choosing quality over quantity, less over more, lasting over “trending” and profound over popular.

I think now more than ever, our world could use more of the fishermen’s ethos.
