Meet the Holts

A farmer’s wife with a vision.

It all started with the Holts, a farming family based in Southern Alabama and the Florida Panhandle. What started with 50 acres in 1986 has grown to over 3,000 acres of cotton, peanuts, corn, hay, and cattle today. Tammy and Joey Holt raised their two sons, Justin and Brandon, on that land. Their youngest, Brandon, was born with dirt under his fingernails and a deep love for farming. In 2019, they lost him in a tragic farming accident. Brandon’s spirit is deeply woven into the fabric of the brand.

In the summer of 2025, Tammy walked past a booth at AmericasMart. The booth demonstrated how they take cotton from farmers and turn it into American-made shirts. As the wife of a cotton farmer, Tammy saw the potential. The Southern Cotton Company was officially founded in December 2025, rooted in the same land and values that have guided the Holt family for decades.

Now that story is yours to wear.
