Our Story
We make modern classics with character. We believe in true timelessness, the integrity of well-made clothes, and since our inception, great quality at a great price. That’s in our DNA.
But we know it’s not only about the clothes, it’s about the feeling it gives the people who wear them—whether they’re confidently giving a presentation in a well-tailored suit; basking in salty beach days in vibrant, sun-soaked swimsuits; or joyfully rediscovering their favorite Rollneck sweater in their closet again and again, season after season.
Ultimately, it’s about helping our customers be the best, most authentic versions of themselves. And that’s what we’re after, to inspire people’s lives and style, for four decades and counting...
