MISSION AND BACKGROUND

Launched in New York City in 2004 by designer Rogan Gregory and Scott Mackinlay Hahn,
Loomstate was founded as a casual brand dedicated to creating demand for certified organic cotton
using socially and environmentally responsible methods of production.

Loomstate's design approach is founded on a respect for our environment's ability to balance,
shape and color itself, from windswept dunes to sun bleached stones, combined with an appreciation
for nature's mathematically pure "Golden Ratios", evident throughout our environment from nautilus
shells to flower petals. Loomstate Men's and Women's collections are inspired by the roots of classic
American casual style born of the positivity and activism of youth subcultures over the past 40 years.
Updated through modern fits, constructions, uncompromised attention to detail, and rendered in the
highest quality and most comfortable 100% certified organic materials. Each piece is created to have
lived-in character and comfort, from washed and softened fabrics to tumbled and aged hardware,
achieving timeless style rooted in environmental and social sustainability.

Beginning with the design process in its New York studio, Loomstate directly manages all stages of
manufacturing, from the fabric mills, to the cut & sew facilities and finally the laundries to ensure
all partners are participating in responsible manufacturing processes. Loomstate works with factories
representing the "Gold Standard" or model of excellence of responsible production methods. All
Loomstate factory partners are required to adhere to a code of conduct and Terms of Engagement
in our company manufacturing agreement. These factories must use the highest environmental and
labor standards, controlling factory pollution, and enforcing fair labor as the cornerstone of the effort.

Loomstate is fully committed to organic farming, which is a form of agriculture which avoids or largely
excludes the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, plant growth regulators, and livestock feed
additives. Organic cultivation requires managing and preserving the sensitive ecosystem as opposed
to stripping the land of its resources as conventional farming does. Loomstate uses 100% certified
organic cotton from various regions of the world such as Turkey, Peru, Africa, India and the USA.
