On Boston’s Newbury Street, tucked between posh designer
showrooms and salons, a haven of American-made menswear awaits. Creamy leather
couches, trophy stags—even a full-service barbershop—all carefully arranged
around life-warranted clothing and accessories.
For any other brand, this setup would seem forced. But
for Ball and Buck, a
brand built on providing the finest in American-made wares, it couldn’t be more
honest.

Founded in 2008, when the US economy was at its worst, Mark
Bollman created Ball and Buck as a way to help support American jobs while
setting the standard for quality products.
“I founded Ball and Buck to create products that are the
best of what America can offer”, says Bollman. “My
hope is that people will join me in ensuring we don’t completely lose the art
of craftsmanship that this country was founded upon.”
Bollman comes from a long line of outdoorsmen and sportsmen.
This insight, coupled with his entrepreneurial drive, allowed him to create an
authentic American brand that feels just as appropriate on the trail as it does
in the city.

“The well-dressed man buys into classic styles,” Bollman
explains. “It's a cross roads of preppy, classic, and rugged. I’ve always
ignored the trends to invest in staple pieces that will last.”
Now in its eighth year of business, Ball and Buck has amassed an
entire lineup of premium products. Among these are B&B’s signature Hunter’s
shirts and polos, featuring a reinforced shooting shoulder and reinforced elbow
patches. Collaborations with top American brands—like Allen Edmonds, New
Balance, Shockhoe Denim, and Randolph Engineering. Not to mention, curated collections—featuring signature plaids, camouflage and horween leather. All of these, by
the way, are sold with a lifetime warranty.
“You don’t have to wear [our clothes] in the field,”
Bollman says, “but at least you know they work there if you do.”
