Notch

Notch (Chimp Collection No. 3) is the other son of Filbert and Chiselle, and the muscle of the family. He’s strong, grounded, and unshakably loyal. If Egbert is the mischief-maker, Notch is the one who makes sure no one messes with his people.

He carries himself with that quiet confidence that doesn’t need to be loud. His stance is firm, his expression unapologetic. He’s not out looking for a fight—but if one finds him, he’ll finish it.

There’s a bit of a protective older brother vibe to him. He might tease you, maybe even seem like a bit of a bully if you get on his bad side—but it's all about loyalty. You don’t get past Notch without earning your place.

His style is formal, but with a twist—like someone who wears a blazer but rolls up the sleeves. I had fun adding that balance: structure with a touch of playfulness.

To me, Notch is strength with a soft core. He reminds me of my older son—tough, no-nonsense, but full of love for the people who matter.

In the chimp family, he’s the rock. The kind you want on your side, always.
