My name is Stephen, the owner and founder of Oak & Gravel. I have spent years on trails that wind through forests, over ridgelines, and across quiet valleys, collecting stories along the way. The outdoors has always been where I think best, breathe easiest, and feel most like myself. Every path I have walked has shaped how I see life: slower, steadier, and full of meaning in the details.

Over time, I realized I could never quite find apparel that felt like the places I loved. Most outdoor clothing leaned toward performance or fashion but rarely captured the feeling of the trail, the grit, the stillness, and the stories. That is why I started Oak & Gravel: to design pieces that feel honest, timeless, and built for people who see the outdoors as more than a backdrop.

Today, every Oak & Gravel piece is crafted with that same spirit. Our designs are created with intention, printed and shipped from the USA, and made to last through real adventures. This brand is my way of sharing the stories that only the trail can tell, one shirt, one journey, and one quiet moment at a time.
