Winston Made

Written By Sam Kraus

Winston is a men's apparel brand with the highest emphasis on quality. All products are made using responsibly sourced materials and manufactured in San Francisco. Winston melds utility, durability, and longevity into everyday products.

In 2012, while operating my promotional apparel business, I was disappointed with the quality of blank shirts I was receiving from my suppliers, so I decided to design and produce my own. A 100% US cotton, pre-shrunk, domestically manufactured T-shirt was the catalyst for Winston. Our brand grew from T-shirts to button-up shirts, jackets and leather and canvas bags, all of which were locally produced in the Bay Area to the highest standard of quality.

My name is Sam Kraus and I’m a graphic, product, and website designer from the San Francisco, Bay Area. In the past decade, I’ve launched two apparel businesses, designed absurdly soft clothing for an iconic California lifestyle brand, and created eye-catching packaging for an award-winning consumer electronics company. Today, I create brand identities and websites for individuals and small businesses seeking to stand out in their industry. I approach each project with curiosity and patience. My goal is not only to realize the client’s needs but to consider the user’s experience functionally, emotionally, and aesthetically.

I am currently pursuing my interests in architecture, sustainability, and the connection between people and place.
