How It All Began
Jake Amendola-Reichard
Jack Dougherty
Fresh out of high school,
Following a successful run at leading design teams at various clothing brands, I wanted to start something of my own. With the help of my best friend Jack, The Coastal Factory was born.
​
Based out of Philadelphia, PA with the beach only a short trip away, we frequented Ocean City, NJ where we would spend weeks at a time down on the coast. Our shared love for the beach is what sparked the Clean the Coast Collection. Starting this brand, were never motivated by the money, we just simply loved designing. We found out a way to do good with the growing support from our customers. Every month we choose a different ocean cleanup organization to donate to. Some of these names include The Ocean Project, Surfrider Foundation, and Oceana. With the help of our gracious customers we have been able to support the efforts of these organizations as well as many others. Our goal is to one day host our own cleanup event. While thinking about the environment, we also source our clothing from environmentally friendly and ethical providers. The Coastal Factory is not going away anytime soon. We've gained so much knowledge since we started in 2018 and we are on our way to the top of the apparel industry.
