OUTERWEAR
Our Climate Beneficial™ Roll-Neck Sweater is the heart and soul of the First Principles project. Made from a 50-50 wool/alpaca fiber mix originating from the Carbon Farm Network in upstate New York, the fibers are aggregated and sent to American Woolen Company in Connecticut for carding and spinning. The resulting undyed yarns then make their way to Brooklyn to be knit, meaning the entire supply chain is contained within 300 miles of NYC!
The depth of color of each sweater results from the unique, undyed fibers of the flocks in the cooperative. Designed with a roll-neck, raglan sleeve, and open knit, this accommodating silhouette is surprisingly breathable in the open air, then is designed to trap heat when worn beneath a shell layer, making it the perfect transitional piece. Don’t be surprised if you start to live in this piece…
SIZING: Sizing is unisex, with the small fitting a small woman, and the large fitting a large man.

The Gathering Jacket is inspired by the shooting jackets, barn coats, and workwear of the mid-20th century, but reworked with gentler, more organic lines that are more at home in the garden (and inevitably the coffee shop).
Cut from an 11 oz Cone Mills denim, lined with a deadstock bandana fabric, and adorned with Martexin waxed canvas, this jacket is a lightweight piece designed to be stowed away in the heat of the day and pulled out as the temperature dips as sunlight fades.
The statement piece of our inaugural collection, The Overjacket is our pride and joy.
Combining an 11 oz denim with a spectacular chunky basketweave fabric milled in South Carolina from domestic cotton, this jacket features a poplin lining, deep hidden front pockets, an internal denim pocket, and wrist cinches to play around with oversized styling looks. To be honest, we have yet to find a person who doesn't look incredible in this piece, and we hope you're just as proud of it as we are.

This jacket is emblematic of our design process: it started with a silhouette, then was built within the constraints of our sourcing requirements.
For this piece, we sourced the only domestically-manufactured, two-way zipper that utilizes a cotton tape instead of polyester tape, and built the rest of the jacket to complement the beauty of this simple little trim. Martexin waxed canvas welt pockets reflect the brass and cotton tape, and two delightful wool fabrics from American Woolen Company result in a standout look in a timeless shape. Lastly, our 5 oz South Carolina poplin appears again in the lining for a smooth finish.
