We believe in beautiful fabric and working with mills that treat weaving as a craft. We work with Japanese mills for our cotton shirting and technical fabrics and aim to use silk wherever we can. Our nylon bomber has a silk & wool back because we believe even tough clothes deserve some elegance.

 

This is a finishing technique where clean edge is made inside the garment. To achieve this effect each seam is sewn TWICE, doubling the labor required to sew a garment together.

Fast fashion focuses on “marrow” stitching usually used on t-shirts and sweatshirts or for certain fabrics. Check out the inside of the shirt you're wearing and see how it was made!

BOUND SEAMS

Another way to create a beautiful finish is to bind the raw edge of a seam with another fabric, making the inside as beautiful as the outside.

We agonize over every button and every zipper – literally. We don't work overseas so we count buttons and custom cut zippers ourselves. We believe details make clothing truly special and keepsake -- our Ribbon Tie shirt is made with over 2 yards of ribbon – an extravagance that we think you deserve!
