My name is Kelly Trotter, and I’m the founder of Good Ol’ Dude. I bring over 35 years of experience in the apparel industry, with a background in manufacturing, supply chain operations, and engineering-focused executive management. Much of my career has been spent behind the scenes, learning what it truly takes to build quality products that last—products rooted in thoughtful design, responsible production, and integrity from start to finish.
Good Ol’ Dude began during a personal season where I asked Jesus to remove something that was holding me back and replace it with something good from Him. What emerged was a brand built to honor men of faith, family, and responsibility—the men who carried others through life and are still standing. Every piece we create reflects that calling, offering timeless headwear meant to recognize quiet strength, enduring love, and the grace that continues to shape our story.
Honoring Faith, Family, Responsibility
The mission is to craft headwear that embodies faith, family, and responsibility. Each piece serves as a homage to timeless values, offering individuals a meaningful connection through quality and tradition.
Weaving Stories Into Craftsmanship
The vision is to weave stories of strength and love into every creation. I aim to inspire future generations, promoting a legacy grounded in personal beliefs and quality craftsmanship.
