What to know about Baker Skateboards
Skater-owned since day one
Pro skater Andrew Reynolds started it in 2000 after leaving Birdhouse, and still runs it through his own Bakerboys Distribution with no ownership change reported.
The wordmark does the work
Most of the apparel is built around Jay Strickland's blocky Baker logo and crude cartoon graphics, the same artwork that runs on the decks.
Hardgoods brand that sells clothes
Decks and wheels sit alongside tees, hoodies, flannels, fleece, headwear and socks, priced in the low-to-mid skate shop range rather than as fashion.

Overall fit
true to size
