They called him Hutch.

 

The origin of the name is more myth than record. Some say Hutch was the beloved companion of Elijah Turner, a lesser-known abolitionist and wandering preacher rumored to have walked through Georgia and Alabama, spreading messages of resistance wrapped in psalms. Turner had no wealth, no weapons, only a small pack, his words, and Hutch. The story goes that Hutch once kicked down the gates of a plantation, giving Turner a narrow escape from slave catchers. Whether true or not, it didn’t matter.

 

To the founder of Hutch & Blue, it was gospel.

 

Hutch isn’t just a name, he’s a symbol. A nod to every ancestor whose sacrifice made it possible.

 

Hutch is resilience woven into fabric.

He’s the bridge from what was to what’s next.

He’s our spark, our silhouette, our symbol of showing up loyal, loud, blue and true.

 

At Hutch&Blue, we don’t just wear values — we thread them.
