Knickerbocker is a company built off community, with a firm aim to grow with that community. Their factory-born brand came to life in 2012, when they acquired the remnants of 60 year old manufacturing company, The Watman Headwear Corp.
With the acquisition of their factory, they picked up where they left off and journeyed down a new path establishing a label of their own, Knickerbocker MFG.
They have an unwavering commitment to USA grown and made product as well as utilising the traditions and skills of European partners especially at their new Portugal-based production house.
Firm believers not only in sustainability but production chain transparency, where possible they provide a clear breakdown of raw materials and through this disclosure take you direct to the manufacturing source, whether in their USA factories or in their newer production house in Portugal.
