About Us

Southern Roots. Everyday Grit.

Grits Co. is a Southern lifestyle brand rooted in the people, places, and traditions that raised us. The music spilling onto the porch. The Sunday dinner that turns into an all-day gathering. The pride in making something your own and the determination to keep going.

Founded by Houston-based art director and designer Reuben Levi, Grits Co. brings that spirit to clothing, goods, and storytelling. Our name starts with a Southern staple, but it carries something more: the grit it takes to build a life, pursue a passion, and stand behind what you believe in.


The Stories We Carry

The South has plenty of stories to tell. We’re especially drawn to the ones that deserve more room.

Black riders and racers. Musicians who changed the sound of the world. Artists, makers, and everyday people whose style and ingenuity shaped American culture. We dig through photographs, records, and memories to share their stories and keep their influence in view.

You’ll find those interests throughout Grits Co., from vintage motorsports and workwear to gospel, blues, soul, and the familiar comforts of home. They inform what we make and what we put into the world.


Made for Your Everyday

A favorite tee. A hat that gets better with wear. A print that makes a room feel like yours.

We create goods meant to become part of your everyday life, with designs that give you something to connect with and a story to carry forward.

Whether you were raised down South or found your way here, there’s a place for you at our table.

No Grits. No Glory.
