Sewn for the long stay.
Badge & Branch makes vintage-style goods for places people come back to. It starts online with badge tees for the cabin, lake, trail and camp, alongside our Mt. Gretna Collection and shirts paired with our YouTube channel, Strange Stories of Small Pennsylvania Towns.
Badges for places you return to.
The main line belongs to no single town. It's made for the cabin porch, the dock at daybreak, the long way up the ridge and the slow summer in between. Short on slogans, long on feeling. History as texture, not a lecture.
Strange Stories of Small Pennsylvania Towns (@StrangePAStories)
Our companion YouTube series tells true, documented stories from Pennsylvania's small towns using original newspapers, Bureau of Mines reports, and Sanborn fire maps. Episode 01 covers Centralia, PA (burning since 1962), and Episode 02 visits Mt. Gretna's 1892 Chautauqua.
Two or three inks. Soft cloth.
Navy, sage or forest, cream, and a little rust on soft, garment-dyed tees. Classic type with a clean finish. From the drawer to the wearer.
Close to home: Mt. Gretna, PA
The Mt. Gretna Collection tells real place stories: the Chautauqua grove of 1892, Lake Conewago, the narrow-gauge line, and summer theatre in the woods since 1927.
