About

First Up Last Down

Every house has one. Up before the alarm. Out the door while it is still dark. Home for dinner most nights, and the last one to check the locks before bed. Nobody hands out credit for it. Most days nobody sees it.

That is who this brand is for.

What we stand on

Provide. The grind, the business, the paycheck.

Lead. First up, setting the example.

Protect. Last down, the first line of defense. Armed, aware, and present.

What we make

Apparel, gear and lifestyle pieces for dads who provide. The ones training before work, building a business, coaching on Saturday, taking the long way home on a trail.

We test everything ourselves and keep what works. One mark on all of it. Colours that go with what you already own. Things you reach for without thinking, because they work. Every listing shows what it is made of and where it is from.

How it reaches you

Every piece is produced to order by our production partner. That is why it takes 5 to 9 business days to reach you, and why we do not take change-of-mind returns. If something arrives damaged, misprinted or wrong, send us a photo within 30 days of delivery and we will replace it or refund you.

Each product page lists what the piece starts from: the maker of the blank, the fabric, the weight, the fit, how to care for it, and the country it comes from. If a spec sheet does not back a claim, we do not make the claim.

What we will not do

No countdown timers. No fake sale prices. No reviews we did not earn. No telling you what kind of man you are. You already know.

Who we are

Built by dads for dads in Southern California.
