Bickford Pond gives us more than just our name, Bickford USA — it’s the source of our inspiration and the foundation of everything we do. Some of our greatest memories in life are made there, and we believe the simple things mean the most. That’s why we live by a single, unbreakable rule: If we wouldn't pack it to go to camp, we don't make it. Every stitch, fiber, and detail of our clothing is a reflection of the time we spend in the Maine woods.

We build every Bickford USA garment with pride, and we do it all right here in the USA. Making our gear in America isn't a business decision; it's the only way to honor the heritage of the Bickford name and the stories tied to it. We hand cut, sew, and finish everything to a standard that stands up to a Maine winter, and many more winters after it. We often think of the old camp, and the only kind of durable, honest gear that earns a spot in the truck for the trip. If the Pond could talk, we'd never want it to be disappointed in the clothes that carry its name. My Grandfather grew up on Bickford Pond, and he understood what it meant to build something that lasts. Knowing that, I hope he could see what we've created and say, "Job well done." That's the only standard we chase—to ensure every piece can live a lifetime and become a part of your own family’s stories.

The heart of Bickford USA is a partnership built on shared dreams and complementary skills. Meet the husband and wife duo who took a leap of faith to bring made-in-USA, long-lasting apparel to everyone: Luke and Vanessa.
