Buck Mason was founded in 2013 by Sasha Koehn and Erik Allen, who were neighbors in Venice, California.Initially, they set up shop in a 350-square foot garage off Abbott Kinney Boulevard. Sasha built the website and Erik created the brand’s first collection of jeans and tees. Obsessed with quality, they worked closely with a local family factory to create small batch production runs, crafting each piece using old school manufacturing techniques combined with modern technology.
An Architectural Approach To Product We make fashion less complicated, building each piece to last beyond a single season. Each of our designs is a riff on an iconic American staple, combining to make a useful and effortless wardrobe. Consistency in fit, fabric and quality guide our hands-on approach. Much of our product is made in the USA, where you can often find Sasha and Erik on the factory floor.
