Loyal Stricklin is an idea built from nothing. One hide turned to two, two to four, and four to many more. With a few simple tools, we began our story: one built on hard work, late nights, and too many cups of coffee. We were tired of purchasing low quality goods that didn’t last more […]

One of our favorite trends for Fall is the jogger pant. This trend has a definite street style vibe, so it’s all about wearing it with confidence! The key is to dress them up so they don’t look like regular old sweatpants. We love them scrunched up past the ankles and worn with ankle boots or […]
