Tom Patterson â Founder of Tommy John. Tom Patterson was fed up with the way his undershirt came untucked, shrunk up, and quickly yellowed, so he set out to make the ultimate undershirt that is now the must have for every man. Raised in Milbank, South Dakotaâpopulation: 3,600, Tom always had an entrepreneurial spirit.
John started off by making and selling wool hats with his friend Carl Brown. He worked at Red lobster in the evenings and made his hats at night. He said one thing that he sacrificed a lot when he was starting FUBU was his sleep. Once the business had gained traction, John tried and failed to seek funding to expand the business, being turned down by 27 banks. But he did not give up and so he mortgaged his home for $100,000.
