We believe in transparency when it comes to how gear is made and what it truly costs to build it right. Every Ruckmule MFG Co. product reflects the real cost of building premium gear by hand in the United States.
Everything we build is handcrafted in our shop in Ferndale, Washington by skilled craftsmen who build every piece with the same standards we demand in the field. The Pacific Northwest has some of the highest labor costs and cost of living in the country, and we believe that level of hands on workmanship and attention to detail should be reflected in the gear itself.
We also refuse to cut corners on materials. Our gear has double the amount of military grade fabrics of competitors, paired with premium hardware and components designed to handle harsh environments and years of hard use. Every product is assembled with careful attention to detail, reinforced stitching, and a level of quality control that only comes from building gear by hand in small batches.
Ruckmule MFG Co. gear isn’t mass produced overseas. While many companies take advantage of low-cost international labor and bulk manufacturing only to price match domestic-made goods, and lean heavily on Americana themed big budget branding when that is far from the reality of their production. We choose a different path. It’s built the right way in small batches by skilled hands that take pride in their work, using materials we trust in the backcountry, on the range, and for the everyday mission.
When you purchase from Ruckmule MFG Company, you’re supporting American manufacturing, skilled craftsmanship, and an independent, family owned and operated company based in Ferndale, Washington.
