Atticus is a brand of clothing founded in 2001 by Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus. However, both Hoppus and DeLonge have since sold their shares of the brand due to the break up of Blink-182.

The name Atticus Clothing was derived from the main character's father in the book "To Kill a Mockingbird" by the author Harper Lee. Atticus Finch is a lawyer who defends Tom Robinson, a black man on trial for rape. Atticus is shown to be a tireless crusader for good causes (even the hopeless case of defending a black man in front of an all-white jury).

In addition to the literary connection the name is derived from Herodes Atticus, a Greek rhetorician who spent his fortune supporting music and the arts.

The company was heavily influenced by music and released three volumes of their "Dragging The Lake" compilation CDs, featuring songs from bands such as Blink-182, Alkaline Trio, New Found Glory, The Sounds, Bane, Jimmy Eat World, Taking Back Sunday, Lydia, Death Cab for Cutie, Rise Against and Coheed and Cambria.

The aim of the brand is to give something back to the music industry, and these CD Compilations were a big help for many smaller bands; their company biography states:

The Atticus logo, known as the "Resting Bird" depicts a bird lying on its back and is a pictorial representation of the book "To Kill a Mockingbird", with reference to the character's name, Atticus Finch.
