About Us

Welcome to The Monkey Brand®!

Back in high school, Bob Hedstrom was always doodling, drawing, sculpting, painting and creating art. He graduated from college with a Comprehensive B.S. Degree in Commercial Art.  Worked for Ad Agencies and Graphics Departments before trading the Art career after a few years for a Business career.  It was a great trade, and creativity was always used in business "in the art of the deal" for getting things done.

It's all about staying positive in life, jumping over the hurdles and breaking through the impenetrable walls.  Life is too short.  Everyone needs to have a fun moment in life.  That's why Bob created The Monkey Brand®.

For Bob, Monkeys have always had a direct relationship with being goofy, being yourself, breaking free from the box or restraints you may currently be in.  Seeing a smile on a child, adult, parent or grandparent is what it is all about.  Acting like a Monkey can really lighten the mood - right?

After joining the great northern migration to Florida in 2023, ideas started flowing and couldn't stop.  The brand was created around adventure, being outdoors and just having fun.  The Florida lifestyle is totally chill, and hopeful that message has come through our various lines of apparel and accessories. 

Our brand is all about having fun.

We're glad you're here.  Come back often, as we'll continue to add product and additional shirt lines and accessories.
