Tipsy Threads

My name is Austin Gleason, but most people know me as AG (that’s a story for another time). I’m the owner and designer of Tipsy Threads, a brand born from creativity, change, and a leap of faith. I graduated from The University of Alabama in 2020, and like many graduates at the time, my path was anything but traditional. I went from waiting tables in Tuscaloosa to selling clothing in Athens, Georgia from August 2020 to May 2022. Eventually, I moved to Fairhope, Alabama to help open that company’s fourth store—where I unexpectedly fell in love with fashion and the creative process behind it. While I loved the industry, I reached a point where I wasn’t happy with my life or where I was headed. Everything changed after buying a hat in Turks & Caicos and realizing I could make something better—something more me. That spark turned into Tipsy Threads. I moved back home to my parents’ second house on Lake Martin, sewing hats on the couch and selling just a few at a time. What started as a creative outlet quickly turned into a brand, and that passion project has grown into what Tipsy Threads is today. I’m excited to keep sharing this journey and creating pieces that are fun, thoughtful, and made with intention. Support the show
