Stan Ray

Founded in 1972 by Earl Beard in Crockett, Texas, Stan Ray has stayed true to its original mission for over 50 years: making honest, hard-wearing clothing with a focus on quality and longevity. What began with a few machines and a commitment to domestic production quickly evolved into a trusted name among tradespeople across the American South.

Stan Ray’s signature pieces — like OG-107 fatigues, painter pants, and utility jackets — became cult favourites not just in the US, but overseas. As surplus gear landed in Japanese vintage stores, the brand gained a new following, eventually attracting the attention of retailers like Beams in Tokyo. That demand helped keep the Crockett factory alive while many others shifted offshore.

Today, Stan Ray remains a family-run operation. With Earl’s son Larry now overseeing the business, the brand continues to produce core pieces in Texas, often sewn by the same hands that started it all. Built to last, rooted in purpose, and still carrying the spirit of real American workwear.
