Americana Pipedream Apparel is a sporting goods store operating out of Appleton, a city in central Wisconsin. Located in the heart of the American Midwest, we believe in hard work, honesty and generosity. Our mission is to perpetuate American culture by providing the gear necessary for free, self-sufficient living in the modern day. Americana Pipedream deals mostly in military surplus, books, knives, camping gear and anything else related that catches our eye.
Americana Pipedream began as an aesthetic project on Instagram. Our goal was to bring the American Dream to life using vintage photographs and artifacts. From there, we began printing our own t-shirts. Our tees weren't the best quality, being handprinted by Logan in his basement, so we branched out into rendezvousing gear. Somehow that led to AP becoming a military surplus company, stocking everything from the staples like Flecktarn and Alpenflage to rarities like Irish DPM and various vintage patterns.
Meet The Founders
Americana Pipedream was originally founded by Logan McGrath in January of 2021. Logan graduated high school in 2020 during the COVID-19 Pandemic, spending most of senior year out of school. He later began an education in history at Gettysburg College. Logan found college life to be restrictive, expensive and unnecessary. After leaving Gettysburg College and finding that he had no desire to return to his previous job, Americana Pipedream was born. He began working full-time for the company in January of 2021.
Aiden, Americana Pipedream's second owner, came on board just a few months after the company was founded. Between going to college for business-related studies and working another job, he made time to pack orders, make marketing content and much, much more.
Logan and Aiden, having gone to both middle and high school together, now both work full-time for Americana Pipedream. Since the founding of the company, they've taken on all the work that comes with a growing business. Together they've cultivated a community built around the outdoors, military surplus and its history.
Sourcing products, creating marketing material, fulfilling orders and performing customer service occupies much (if not most) of their time. Love of the outdoors, a desire to never work a 9 to 5 job again, and a dream of one day owning land, homesteading and leading a life close to nature motivate our passion for Americana Pipedream and its community.
