About Us
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it." F. Bueller
Inspired by our passion for history and design, Bygone Brand was created in 2013 to revive the lost places we loved growing up. Based out of Rockford, IL, our apparel represents the local businesses that made each city, town or region unique. Over the years, Bygone Brand has grown into one of the premier retro apparel companies and we take pride in every aspect, from design through delivery.
All aspects of our business involves the communities we serve, from printing, designing, warehousing and shipping
