FOUNDER
Andrew Pyle
Andrew has always had a vision for making the apparel that he wants to wear. Constantly being disappointed with fit and quality, he decided to bring his ideas and values for the perfect apparel to life. Welcome to Andrew's vision:
Southern State Apparel.

CO-FOUNDER
Jim Brim
Jim played a key role in the development of Southern State. Jim brings years of outdoor experience with different brands to the table. This helps us find the best materials for specific applications.

THE START
Andrew and Jim sat in Augusta, GA eating lunch between storm cleanup work after hurricane Helene. Andrew mentioned to Jim the idea of starting an apparel business to make the clothing they want to wear. They sketched a logo, had it finalized the next day, and began planning the first line. With both Andrew and Jim being outdoorsmen, they understand what people like them want to wear. Whether you need a light vest or polo for a date night, a warm jacket for your next hunt, or even a T shirt to wear while running around town, they are here to bring you well tailored, stylish clothing that you look forward to wearing.
