Hawbuck is a little project founder Wes Cox cooked up by accident. He needed a better wallet and couldn’t find what he wanted — luckily as an industrial designer, he figured he'd tackle the problem himself by designing sleek ultralight wallets that have since become the favorite of many a hiker. According to Wes, "hawbuck" means something between "vagabond" and "bumpkin." It's an old word---"hawbuck" is potentially the root of the word "hobo." Now, some people will tell you that “Ho-Bo” was short for “Homeward Bound” post-war, but tell them no, “Hawbuck.”
