Built for good times, and unlike anything else on the planet
From the living room, to the garage & now a warehouse. We are a small, hardworking team trying to create the best company we can.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us.

Jimmy Findlay Hickey

Heya Findlay Force! I just want to express how grateful I am to have the Findlay Force out there. Seriously, we wouldn't be here without you guys, and we are forever grateful to have such an amazing tribe of good people around our brand. We go against the grain, we aren't insiders or part of the "cool" scene. We are just a few people who are passionate about Findlay Hats and creating the best products & company we can. We are the hungriest brand on the face of the earth and we are ready to eat.

In Loving Memory
Harold "Fin" Findlay
Grandpa
Jimmy's Grandpa and a major influence on his life growing up. He is the inspiration for the Findlay name. He passed away 2 months before the brand officially launched, but was able to see the early stages of its creation.
He joined the Army in December 1941. On July 1, 1942, he was sent overseas for three years. He served in England, North Africa, Sicily and Italy. After the war, Harold entered Pomona College, where he met his wife, Carol. They both graduated in June of 1950 and married in September of that year. That same year, Harold joined Carnation Co., working there for 36 years and retiring in 1986.
Justin "JT" Thornton
JT was a part-time employee back in the Findlay Garage. We had spent countless hours & late nights together in the garage, busting out orders. His positive & fearless attitude was an inspiration to us all, and he was taken from us too soon.
JT will always remain an important piece of the Findlay Force.
Gator
The original Findlay Dog.
He was a loving, happy, spunky little man and we miss him dearly. While all dogs are great in their own way, this guy was a special pup. He loved people and was just a joy to be around.
We got him as a puppy just a couple of months prior to the company launching in 2013, and he was the Findlay Dog ever since.
He had spent countless hours in the original living room, to the Findlay Garage and now our warehouse with us. This place will never feel the same without him.
