Timeless Silhouettes
Using considered details and unique materials. Inspired by vintage workwear, and sewn in Portland, Oregon.

Made for you. Not a clothing rack.
Every garment we create is made-to-order. That means that from the first cut of fabric we have one person in mind, you. Your item is created using a pattern tailored to your order. We offer a wide variety of standard sizes, but who's standard anyway? We encourage anyone who's ever felt a standard size wasn't a good fit to try our "Made-to-Measure" shopping feature. Simply select that option for your size, add it to your shopping cart, and check out. We'll be in touch for an in-person or virtual fitting shortly after we see your order.

The "Denim Guy"
Steven Heard has been making garments since Levi's was still sewing 501s in San Francisco. He began as a pattern maker at their historic building down on Valencia Street. He's had his hands in the slub for so long that it's a common phrase amongst makers to "call that denim guy" when they run into a pattern problem.
Dillon Montara is his passion project made reality - a vision of understated elegance with refined utilitarian details that comes from observing the fashion industry from within for almost four decades.

SEE BEHIND THE SLUB
