Founders The founders at a cutting table in the factory in Italy
Born in New York

Once in a Blue. Two friends from the Bronx.

Dean and Andrew grew up wearing a suit and tie to school every day. They could find a great fit or great quality, never both. So they made the trouser themselves.

Every new piece stays in the same four colors, so it works with what you already own.
