In late 2010, my ski buddy Richard and I quit our finance jobs to start Huckberry out of our San Francisco apartments. There were already men`s stores, sure. Adventure magazines, too. Yet nothing out there spoke directly to us — guys who lived in the city but lived for adventure — and we envisioned a brand that was equal parts store, magazine, and inspiration. Thankfully, we found a like-minded community, and thanks to their support — your support — today we`re still independent and having the time of our lives (well, except for when Bandit chews up our samples).
