About us
It is truly a MAD story.
The MADness began more than 30 years ago with Mad Style, a women's fashion and accessories brand built around stylish products at an affordable price. As the company grew, a small collection of men's accessories joined the mix. No one knew at the time that little offshoot would eventually take center stage.
By 2015, the men's gift market was ready for something different. Because guys don't fit neatly into one box—and neither should their gifts. Sure, there's a place for a good wallet or belt, but what about tech, games, grooming, gear, barware, accessories, and all the other stuff guys are actually into?
Enter Mad Man.
MADE FOR EVERY MAN.
Founded in Chicago, Mad Man grew from a small men's collection into a brand built around gifts, gadgets, and gear for all kinds of guys.
The Mad Man is everyman. He's a friend, husband, son, father, brother, teacher, coach, adventurer, tinkerer, and the guy next door. He shows up when he's needed, doesn't shy away from a challenge, and probably has at least one gadget nobody else understands why he owns.
Different guys. Different interests. One thing in common: there's a little Mad Man in all of us.
MAD STANDS FOR MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
MAD isn't just our name. It stands for Make A Difference—a principle that's been part of the brand from the beginning.
We believe success means more when you use it to make a positive difference in the lives of others. That's why we're proud to support organizations that directly help children and families.
Every Mad Man purchase helps us continue that commitment, because being a better man isn't just about what you accomplish—it's about the difference you make.
