Apos is bringing the heat

At Apos, we're not just lovers of audio—we're into all sorts of things: mechanical keyboards, coffee, fountain pens, watches, craft beer, photography, bicycling... the list goes on and on. From the beginning, our goal has been to venture into new communities. Now that we've established ourselves in some of our favorites, we're ready to expand into even more. As we do, we'll unveil exciting and exclusive grassroots products through the Apos 𝒙 platform.

We're thrilled to announce that we're stepping into men's style, and we're kicking things off with Lost Monarch —a Bay Area-based designer that makes sweaters, pants, umbrellas, eyewear briefcases, and more.

Meet Ian Anderson

At the helm of Lost Monarch is Ian Anderson —a writer, engineer, and e-commerce professional with over a decade of experience in the fashion industry. We've been following his blog, From Squalor to Baller, for years, soaking up his insights on dressing simply and classically in a business casual world. We love his sharp sense of design and commitment to quality, and we're thrilled to bring his creations to the Apos community. Ian's work has been featured in the Wall St. Journal, San Francisco Chronicle, and numerous fashion publications.

Fad Lore

Lost Monarch is named after the Lost Monarch tree—a colossal redwood in Northern California. Standing at 320 feet tall and 26 feet in diameter, it's one of the world's largest redwoods by volume. Inspired by this ancient king of the forest, Lost Monarch’s apparel is classically designed and uses natural materials like donegal wool and vegetable-tanned leather.
