Journey and Experience
The button-down collar is a wardrobe staple and one that deserves a place in every closet. What I love about a button-down is that it lets you dress up a casual outfit or dress down more formal attire.

Edwin McMasters Stanton (not to be confused with Staunton, VA) was The Secretary of War during the Lincoln presidency. And the inspiration for one of our Spring shirts which is named, surprisingly, The Stanton. Lincoln praised Stanton as a loyal confidant stating, “He is the rock on the beach of our national ocean against which […]
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve started to realize the importance of environment—both at home and in the workplace. We’ve been working on the office downtown and although it’s a work in progress, it’s getting there!

Surviving the summer heat in Virginia was once again our goal behind this seasonal collection. So we put together a selection of incredibly lightweight and breathable fabrics from our friends at Albini, Canclini and Thomas Mason. Lancaster Plaids are summer classics are that offer a healthy dose of color on an extra-fine poplin weave, […]
A great day at the farm last month shooting a handful of the spring shirts. Could not have asked for a better day or a better group of people. Big thanks to Patricia for her incredible work, as well as Dickie, Meredith and Danny. The fact that we found a model who can also fix […]
Great fabric is not the only perk to exclusively using European fabric mills. There are also the obligatory trips to Italy and France that are difficult requirements of the job. So last month it was back to London and then Paris for Premiere Vision and three days, 10,000 fabric swatches and some late nights with good […]
