Jackson & James

Jackson & James is a men’s clothing and lifestyle store with a focus on craftsmanship, the makers behind the goods, and the story that comes along with everything it sells.

Established in 2017.
Jackson & James started with two rivers, a brother and sister and a pair of boots. The rivers were the Jackson, in Covington, Virginia, where the brother spent the majority of his childhood, and the James, in Richmond, where the sister was born when the family moved there. Mike and Rachel Anderson knew they wanted to start a business together, but they didn’t know what that was going to mean until Mike started looking for a new pair of boots. He couldn’t find what he wanted online or in stores in Richmond…or Virginia. The search lasted for months, and after trips to New York and Boston, Mike and Rachel realized this was the business. This was Jackson & James. They would start a store for guys looking for clothes with a little better design, a little higher quality and a lot closer to home. Jackson & James is a men’s store with a focus on craftsmanship, the makers behind the clothing and accessories and the story that comes along with everything it sells.
