Brand facts
Upstate Stock is a Brooklyn-based accessories and apparel label founded by Bram Robinson around 2013 to keep production local in New York State. The brand is best known for ragg wool gloves, mittens and knit caps, knitted at family-run American mills and finished in Brooklyn, alongside T-shirts, sweatshirts, totes and apothecary goods. Its heritage-workwear aesthetic favors durable natural fibers and plain, utilitarian shapes over logos. A Berry Street flagship, opened in March 2016, pairs the collection with a cafe and provisions. No ownership changes are reported.
