Meet our Fall Midwest Maker: Ryan Hanlon

This fall, we are excited to announce Ryan Hanlon as our Midwest Maker.

A true Maker, Ryan's love for cars was passed on to him from his father Jim 'Pops' Hanlon. Together in their garage workshop they continue the family tradition of restoring beauty and original factory detail to iconic American cars.

Ryan's passion as a Maker extends to film production, inspiring him to start the award-winning company, Route 3 Films. Hours of dedication and commitment go into both these pursuits, producing a final product that is the embodiment of his hard work and skilled craftsmanship.

No surprise then, that Ryan chooses a brand born of a heritage of family tradition—a brand that reflects his rugged independence and attention to detail.

We truly understand the importance of these values and, like Ryan, put the same passion and dedication into every Dakota Grizzly piece we create.

The Hanlon's story is our story.

As third generation Midwest Makers, from a 75 year history of garment making, we are proud supporters of Makers across the country.

We are Dakota Grizzly.
