about

poke + keister makes durable and functional everyday-use sewn goodS.

each MADE-TO-ORDER item is 100% handmade in the usa, using materials produced or sourced from u.s. owned and operated businesses. all products are designed and made by hand on one machine, by one guy (that’s me, jordan — hey there).

i’m committed to this model of making because I believe in preserving and elevating local artisanship and a making model that is committed to community, craft, and creating products that work and last without hiding the imperfections that make handmade goods what they are: functional art.

as i strive to make products that are timeless, gritty and dependable, know that each item you buy has been designed, tested, developed, and refined for functionality, comfort and daily durability with my own hands in brooklyn, new york.

don’t let the bastards get you down. keep giving a damn.
