The Oregon Trail  Collection

Spring 2014 Line

 

The spring brings with it a sense of possibility, of newness, of potential, which is why we're proud that our Spring/Summer 2014 collection finds its inspiration from one of America's greatest experiences of possibility and adventure: the Oregon Trail.

Although many Americans had been quietly traversing and settling across the wild west, it wasn't until 1841 that a small group of pioneers set out from Independence, MO to follow in the footsteps of fur traders and backwoodsmen. The long  "road "they followed came to be known as the Oregon Trail.

Nowadays, the Oregon Trail conjures up the kind of quintessentially American pioneering spirit;  a spirit of exploration, adventure and enterprise. Although the pioneering spirit may take different forms, we believe that spirit is still alive in America today and hope our  collection pays a respective nod to our American resolve to always pursue something beyond.

The year was 1804.

President Thomas Jefferson dispatched Merriwether Lewis and William Clark to explore and survey the land to west of the Mississippi, no one quite knew for certain who, or what, lay on the other side of that divide. But one thing was for sure, they needed to be prepared for it all. Included in their massive packing list were 45 flannel shirts and woolen pants- no doubt made here in America from the thickest and best available stock.

Our fall+ winter pocket square collection are crafted from vintage wool Pendleton, fabric made right here in the USA. We hope this collection pays a respectful nod to these brave American explorers and reminds us that nothing is more American than a grand adventure.
