A Brief History of GenTeal Apparel

Founded in 2015 in Oxford, Mississippi, GenTeal Apparel started as a small men’s clothing brand at the historic Landry’s men’s clothing shop on Oxford Square. Blake Dubinski and Brice Noonan envisioned a line of clothing that seamlessly blended rugged durability with refined style. The name “GenTeal” is inspired by the blue-winged teal, a bird known for its elegant flight pattern and long migration journeys. The teal symbolizes the brand’s commitment to quality and adventure.

Since its inception, GenTeal Apparel has grown rapidly. It is now sold in over 250 specialty retailers and country clubs across 22 states. The brand has been recognized for its impressive growth, making it to the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing privately owned businesses in America. Under the leadership of CEO Abigail Linton, GenTeal Apparel continues to expand its product lines and reach new markets.
