SOLID MADE GOODS
BEHIND THE BRAND
By Trent Cody Quintero
In 2011, my life was forever changed when, while leading my Convoy Escort Team (CET) in the lead vehicle as a Gunner, my vehicle was hit with an IED. This would be my last mission in Iraq, although I would go on to serve in the military til’ 2021. From that day henceforth, however, I deemed to live each and every day to its fullest and to give full attention to my dreams and ambitions.
I’ve always had a vision of my own line of clothes and goods and eventually settled on this name: “Solid Made Goods” soon after getting into leatherwork. I’ve always absolutely hated, hated cheap products that fell apart and aren’t worth the money. That’s why, the things I make under this brand come with a Lifetime Guarantee, and I will fix, repair or replace any leather item as long as that item is around. “Guaranteed to survive an IED, or your money back” will be placed on each Leather Good we produce and now you know why. It serves as a placard of the founding of this brand and a reminder that life is fleeting.
It’s my purest intention to make goods that make a difference in your day to day activities, and to make them better, more efficient, and lastly more attractive. With our “Indestructible Tote” you can haul over 50+ pounds time and time again, I have for years with mine, and not have to worry about the bag faltering. With our “Father and Son Firewood Carrier” you can gather wood for generations and create lasting memories.
I stand firm in the mission to make our products “Nothing Like the Rest” and to construct our products to ensure that “The World’s Toughest Goods are Solid Made,” and we’ll always strive to achieve this.
We also won’t run off to overseas manufacturing like Carhart or pretty much every other brand to increase shareholder profit, NOPE, we’ll create jobs in the fucking best country on earth, the motherf*cking UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Baby!
