Since the time of the industrial revolution, cultural critics have claimed that mass manufacturing destroys the connection between life and work. Today, many people don’t know how cotton grows or who farms it; few understand how it is dyed or woven into cloth, and we may have witnessed the last generation to regularly make their own clothes. To fill this void modern clothing is heavily branded—and the story of the brand fills the space that used to be filled by the voice of the cloth itself.

We like to move a little slower, and take a little longer, to make clothes that you can keep a lifetime. We want to make clothes you return to again and again — like a friend who listens to your stories, like a friend who makes you feel your best.
