The other day entrepreneur Rob Hopkins sent along a couple of his latest Buffalo Made items that he recently restocked at his online store.
In the day of DIY and reuse, there’s no reason to throw away an old pair of jeans when it’s so easy to add a patch. But who wants an ordinary old patch when there are some great Rust Belt flavored ones at the Buffalo Made store for $4 each?
Along with the patches, Rob has also restocked some neat Buffalo Made pins that have a bit of “steel city” flare. The pins go for $7 and could look great on any blazer or jacket. Buffalonians pride themselves on goods made here, so why not wear the sentiment on your sleeve, or lapel, or even a pair of jeans?
“The name “Buffalo Made Co.” isn’t meant to be literal,” says Rob. “It’s more about the people made here and showing that pride. But I am here—investing time, money, and passion into my products. I partner with people and companies throughout the United States who can take my designs and bring them to life in various ways. Buffalo Made Co. is a brand based on a lifestyle inspired by the city of Buffalo’s past, present, and future. Customers wear my shirts and pins, they drink their coffee from my mugs, they hang my photos on their walls—and when they do so, they proudly say “I AM Buffalo Made” not “This was made in Buffalo”.
