The Company At Theory, we create clothes that matter that empower and improve the way we live through exceptional fit, fabric, and style.

Two decades later, we continue to perfect our offering of elevated wardrobe essentials for the ambitious, urban man and woman.

From sourcing materials from the best mills in the world to the innovation and craftsmanship at our atelier in New York's Meatpacking District, the integrity of our process is just as important as our final product.

In 2004, Theory was acquired by Fast Retailing, spurring the international expansion of the brand.

Our customers dream big, achieve goals, and aim for perfection.
