At 801 Sew Co. LLC, we’re all about crafting gear that’s tough, reliable, and built to last—just like the people who use it.
Our journey started in the late 1990s when I bought my first sewing machine off eBay to make seat covers for an old Tote Gote. That one small project sparked a passion, and over the years, I kept finding reasons to fire up the sewing machine.
Fast forward to my 1947 Jeep Willys—I needed a reusable trash bag to pack out everything I brought with me on the trails. The first bag did the job, but I quickly realized one wasn’t enough. There’s always more to haul out than what you bring in. Fellow Jeepers and Scout enthusiasts started asking about the bags, and before I knew it, a major Jeep parts supplier reached out wanting to carry my products. That’s when 801 Sew Co. truly took off.
Originally, everything we made was sold under @theredwillus, but as the business grew and our mission expanded, we rebranded to 801 Sew Co. LLC—a name that better reflects who we are and what we stand for: creating high-quality, functional gear for adventurers everywhere.
Since those early days, we’ve handcrafted and sold over 2,000 bags—each one designed to haul gear, keep trails clean, and hold up to real adventure. But we didn’t stop there. As demand grew, so did our creativity and capabilities.
With new equipment, including industry-leading Juki sewing machines, and a passion for functional design, we’ve expanded to offer a wide range of products for hikers, off-road adventurers, and Tote Gote enthusiasts. From rugged canvas trash bags for Jeeps to compact gear for backpackers, everything we make is thoughtfully designed and carefully handcrafted.
We’re proud to call Lehi, Utah our home. Every product is made using the finest materials and expert craftsmanship, ensuring that your gear is as tough as the trails you take it on.
At 801 Sew Co., our mission is simple:
✔️ Craft durable, functional products that keep up with your lifestyle.
✔️ Support adventure, off-roading, and outdoor exploration.
✔️ Create gear that makes life on the trail “Sew Good.”
Thank you for supporting a small business that values quality, adventure, and a love for the outdoors. Let’s hit the trail together—because life’s too short for boring gear.
