In our Brooklyn studio, fabric arrives like an invitation. Rolls of cloth are unfurled across long wooden tables: Japanese cottons, soft-washed and woven on shuttle looms, Italian gabardine with an innately languid elegance, British wools that carry the weight of weather and field, and Scottish yarns, soft as the Loch water in which they were milled. Before we make a cut or explore a drape, we listen to what each has to say.

“The fabric always leads,” says Sam. “It arrives with a suggestion of what it might become.”


This, our first collection as a label, grew from those conversations. From cloth that spoke softly of heritage and the rhythm of hands and looms that have been working for generations, and from Sam’s personal archive of early twentieth-century workwear. These storied garments, once made purely for utility, carry a grace that we find endlessly beautiful. We returned to them not to replicate the past, but to understand the perspective of the people who stitched and wore them, and to explore what that could mean for our customers.

Seventeen pieces mark the beginning of our new chapter. Many are unisex, while others are tailored specifically for women or men. The fit of each garment was refined over months. The process was intentionally slow. He considered how the people he loves and admires like to feel as well as dress, developing a foundation that will continue to evolve into our language for seasons to come.


We hope you see these garments as part of a holistic wardrobe: a system of pieces to be layered, revisited, and worn across seasons and years. Above all, we hope you find delight in wearing them.
