About Loomstate
MISSION AND BACK GROUND
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.
