Uncompromising Materials
A truly durable product starts with the best raw materials available.
We’re obsessive about quality, and we only use materials proven to age well, perform under real use, and improve over time. We use only the best materials from Japan, Italy, and -of course- the USA
Made in USA
100% of the labor to cut, sew, and assemble our goods is based in the United States.
We work with a small network of trusted sewing shops in California and Texas, along with our own in-house shop in Nashville, Tennessee.
The majority of our goods are made by hand to order in our Nashville Workshop
Built to Endure
We build things to endure real use.
When you buy from us, you’re investing in a garment that only gets better with use, becoming more yours over time, gaining character, and telling the story of how it’s been worn and lived in.
Meet The Founder and Designer
Michael STricklin
Loyal Stricklin is owned and operated by Michael Stricklin in Nashville, TN with help from part-time sewist Anita Rodriguez.
Loyal Stricklin was started in April 2014 while Michael was in graduate school for design and construction at Auburn University. What started as a creative outlet and way to earn some extra money in school turned into a full time job in August 2014.
At this time, Michael hand makes all the leather goods himself from wallets to bags to jackets with a bit of clothing production in the mix, while Anita and our production partners handle the majority of our clothing.
"My focus has always been on quality, attention to detail, and making things by hand. Since our inception, we have been deeply committed to making all of our goods in the USA, using the best materials from Italy, Japan, and the US. Today, we still make the majority of our goods in house in Nashville, TN, with help from partner factories throughout the US.
When you buy from Loyal Stricklin, you can expect a piece that not only is made with the best materials we can get our hands on, but also that it will last, with 11 years in business to back it up" - Michael
When not in the studio, Michael is a married father of 2 boys, a film photographer, a 4x4 enthusiast, and is currently learning videography.
