About Lunchbox Approved Gear

Practical. Bold. Built to Give Back.

Lunchbox Approved Gear was created with one goal in mind: to build high-quality, everyday gear that people actually want to wear—whether you’re out in the field, grabbing lunch, or just living life. But more than that, it’s a brand with a purpose.

This project is the brainchild of Quentin Nichols, a tree trimmer, firefighter, and community advocate based in Bly, Oregon. Born from a blend of creative vision and a deep love for his hometown, this brand exists to give back where it counts most—home.

That’s why 20% of all profits go directly toward funding improvements at the Ruth Obenchain Recreation Center, Bly’s local gym and community center. From keeping the building heated in winter to building a space where people of all ages can gather, train, and grow—this gear fuels more than fashion. It fuels a movement.

Why the name?

Lunchbox Approved is all about the gear that shows up with you—on the jobsite, at the station, in the breakroom, or wherever you work. These are the stickers, slogans, and sayings that belong on your lunchbox, your hard hat, your water bottle—stuff that reps your field, your mindset, and your crew.

Whether you’re a firefighter, a nurse, a tree trimmer, a lineman—or anything in between—we’re building something that speaks your language. One sticker at a time.

Thanks for being here. Thanks for giving back. And welcome to the movement.
