We're two classmates from Brown University who met on a trip to Brazil, discovered that we had common interests in music and fashion, and quickly became friends. After Brown, we both took jobs on Wall Street – a valuable learning experience with miserable hours that wasn't particularly fun.

Four years into our jobs, we realized we needed a creative outlet that the world of finance could never provide. So, we conceptualized a men's apparel brand during a long conversation that stemmed from a mutual desire to do something innovative and entrepreneurial.

This brand would initially be focused on elevating the quality and fit of a wardrobe staple – the sport shirt – while also keeping the price points reasonable. After establishing manufacturing relationships, experimenting with samples and conducting a successful sales event, we left our finance careers to focus on building our company, Jack Robie.

The name Jack Robie pays homage to a fictitious, impeccably-dressed American man portrayed by one of our style idols, Cary Grant, in the 50's film "To Catch A Thief." Jack Robie embodies American cool and charisma with a sense of style that is classic and sophisticated.

Feel free to contact us with questions, comments or bourbon-based cocktail recipes at info@jackrobie.com. We look forward to hearing from you.
