Description

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 long salty beach days in vibrant, colorful sun-soaked swimsuits, or joyfully re-discovering their favorite Rollneck sweater in their closet again and again, season after season.

And 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.

Our dedication to Diversity, Equity, Belonging & Sustainability has been celebrated with industry recognition, reflecting our commitment to fostering an inclusive and sustainable workplace.
