about us

We’re a small brand with a big heart — built around a shared love for meaningful tees that say something without shouting.

Hugh & Harley is a father-daughter creation. What started as a simple idea turned into something much more: a place for design, story, connection, and a little attitude — all stitched into soft, wearable cotton.

Who We Are

John (a.k.a. “Hugh” — it’s his middle name) brings the vision, the experience, and the steady hand. He’s spent years in branding and building things, but this brand? This one’s different. This one’s homegrown.

Harley is the real spark behind Hugh & Harley. She’s 11, bursting with ideas, and already understands the power of self-expression. She loves soccer, draws almost daily, and brings color and creativity to every corner of what we do — and reminds us why we do it.

Behind the scenes is Andrea — Harley’s loving mama and John’s partner — who keeps the whole dream moving forward. Her strength, wisdom, and fortitude are what drives us, and are stitched into the fabric of everything we create.

We’re based in Massachusetts, where life is a mix soccer games, track school, friends, family getaways when we can steal them, and plenty of creative chaos. John coaches Harley’s soccer team and he and Andrea still try to keep up with her on skis — most days, anyway.

Why We Do This

We created Hugh & Harley because we believe clothing can be more than just clothing. A t-shirt can carry a message, a memory, a mood. It can start a conversation or remind someone they’re not alone.

Our goal is to create tees that feel good on your skin, say something real, and help you wear a piece of who you are — or who you’re becoming.

Whether you’re picking up a design by Harley, one of John’s quiet statements, or something they dreamed up together, we hope it brings a little more meaning to your day.

Thanks for being here. For real.
