What to know about Loyal Stricklin
Wallets came first, still central
The label started with Michael Stricklin cutting wallets in a college apartment in 2012, and the stitchless Johnny wallet remains the piece it is best known for.
Leather goods with a jacket sideline
Most of the range is carry — belts, field packs, totes, duffles — with the waxed canvas Wayman jacket as the main apparel piece.
Small team, US assembly
Still run by Stricklin and his wife Sarah with a small in-house crew in Nashville, using vegetable-tanned hides and Horween shell cordovan.
