Historia
Johnny Morris founded the company in 1972 in Springfield, Missouri, starting with a small fishing tackle section in his father's liquor store. Although established as a sporting goods retailer, the brand entered fashion history during the early 2020s. Its mesh trucker hats became a widespread cultural phenomenon. This trend integrated traditional outdoor apparel into urban wardrobes, establishing the brand as a notable example of utilitarian gear adopted by mainstream fashion.
