LM.RT reflects the founders' heritage as the great-grandson of an Irish country tailor on his father's side and a Welsh master weaver on his mother's side. It further integrates influences from his extensive experience as a senior creative for brands in the action sports, heritage workwear and artisan/avant gard segments.And finally, it reflects his interest in poetic narrative across fine art, literature, philosophy, theater, cinema and popular culture.
Within LM.RT, the historical dividing line between "fine tailoring" and " utility menswear" is dissolved by allowing the most noble intentions of each to inform the other. The inventiveness and robustness associated with workwear traditions is elevated through meticulous attention to the material quality and exacting workmanship of fine tailoring while maintaining the Yankee ingenuity and feeling of function-focused improvisation that has always been the root of its charm.
