Our Ethos
We want you to use Rambler goods for a lifetime, with the intention to create less waste.
Our ethos is rooted in one that appreciates the time it takes to craft high quality goods.
We want to move away from the current capitalist tactics of keeping customers wrapped up in need.
If you buy one of our products, we hope that you never need to buy that product from us again.
There are no subscriptions or up-selling - we want you to outright own these items.
We want you to be proud of your posessions, and for that excitement to translate into taking good care of them. Then when the decades pass and the time comes, they can be passed on to the next generation of folks to enjoy.
About the maker
Background
Rambler Goods is owned and operated by Drew. The company was oficially started at the tail end of 2022. Originally from Seattle, Washington, Drew is a meticulous craftsman with a deep respect for well-built gear. His journey into leatherwork began in 2017 while living in Boulder, CO and attending university. He cut his teeth at a high-quality boot company tucked into the Rocky Mountains, where he was taught about traditional cordwaining. In 2019, he returned to the Pacific Northwest with the company, furthering his skills while diving into all facets of helping run a business.
By 2022, Drew shifted his focus from boots to a broader range of leather and canvas goods, working in a respected Seattle leather shop where he refined his ability to design and build durable, everyday pieces. With over six years of experience, he takes pride in making gear that’s built to last—simple, functional, and ready for whatever the day brings.
Beyond the Workshop
Drew doesn’t sit still for long. When he’s not cutting and stitching leather, he’s working full-time in the GIS world, where he gets to combine his love for data and design by making maps. He also serves as a volunteer firefighter and first responder, dedicating his time to protecting and supporting his small community—something he values just as much as his craft.
Outside of work, he spends his time out in the woods, gardening, cooking, or wrangling his two dogs. Lately, he’s been diving into linocut printing and knitting, with plans to fold those skills into future projects. Whether it's leather, ink, or wool, he’s always looking for the next project.
Rambler Goods is a proudly Queer owned company.
