About us
Why We Exist...
Savage Gentleman was born out of the realization that men today have become too one-dimensional. There was once a time when a man was well versed and proficient in multiple facets of his life.
In the past, men by necessity were capable of being savages and chose to be gentlemen. This was a conscious and continual effort because he intuitively knew the Savage Gentleman dichotomy was integral to navigating this journey we call life.
To us, this is the ideal state of man... the consistent cultivation of both aspects in an effort to reach his highest potential. We recognize that we are complex and dynamic beings. And with proper guidance and determination, we can collectively achieve greatness and improve the world around us.
But somewhere along the way, we have lost sight of this noble pursuit. Modern convenience and complacency have deflated such ambitions. Too many men are content to only half-heartedly aim to reach the lowest hanging fruits.
It is our mission to inspire men to be more… and to empower them to pursue this idealism unashamedly and unapologetically. We seek to expand their horizons and aspire beyond what they have imagined...to become the best version of themselves.
To be a Savage Gentleman.
What We Do...
In addition to exploring what it means to be a better man through our Podcast, our Blog and the League, we are also committed to finding ways to create and design better products for men. Since our inception, we strive to blend old world material and aesthetics with cutting edge technology.
We fell in love with leather craft, and found it to perfectly represent both the Savage and the Gentleman. Being rugged and primal, yet classy and sophisticated, leather wallets became our primary medium for creating high-end, well-made goods for men that appreciate craftsmanship and durability.
From this concept, our first Tradesmen Wallets were designed and brought to life. And like all of our wallets, they are still handcrafted by us in our Trolley Square workshop.
Continuing to expand our product line, we launched our vintage inspired Hemingway Collection. With each piece meticulously designed from the ground up, our flagship apparel line continues to embody the Savage Gentleman ideals of form, function, and unmatched quality.
Who We Are...
Josh Tyler is a man on a quest to reach his full potential and help others do the same.
As a school teacher turned professional fighter/amateur survivalist, his wild and varied experiences led him to co-found Savage Gentleman.
Like the company's namesake implies, he is a walking juxtaposition of this dichotomy of masculinity.
As a husband, father, fighter and philosopher, Josh continues to explore and improve upon both aspects and encourages all men to do so as well.
Matt Winslow is a father, veteran, and a jack of all trades.
After serving in the United States Marine Corps, he transitioned into civilian life as a machinist and developed a passion for U.S. manufacturing, ultimately leading to his co-founding of Savage Gentleman.
In constant pursuit of learning and developing new skills, Matt has taken on photography and videography, which he puts to practice here and during his many outdoor adventures.
Living by example, his wide variety of skills and talents are proof that a man can excel in anything he sets his mind to.
