Meet Mizzen+Main
One of the greatest pleasures of our job is working with brands that are equally as innovative as they are dedicated to creating a strong, supportive company culture. For the past couple of years, we have had the absolute pleasure of joining Mizzen+Main on their impressive journey of rapid expansion throughout the U.S. An audacious group, Mizzen+Main has no intentions of slowing down anytime soon. If you’re ready to take the next step and join a team with this much drive, the time is now.
Don’t Sweat It
Back in 2005, Kevin Lavelle, an intern in Washington D.C. at the time, witnessed a hurried congressional-staffer run up Capitol Hill. A bystander, Lavelle couldn’t help but notice the sweat fully drenching this rushed businessman’s dress shirt and thought, ‘there has to be a better way.’ Years later, in 2012, Lavelle executed that better way and he named it the Leeward: Mizzen+Main’s OG men’s performance dress shirt.
Mizzen+Main dress shirts are made of lightweight, breathable, sweat-wicking, wrinkle resistant, and active stretch material that can also be machine washed—making ironing and dry-cleaning chores of the past.
But they do more than just dress shirts. They’re bring off the clock comfort to every hour of the day with pants, polos, and pullovers that every guy’s hanger would be proud to hold.
Conquer. Comfortably.
At Mizzen+Main, comfort is at the center of everything. Step into their headquarters in Dallas, TX, and you’re sure to find the laid-back, roll your chair over, let’s film a Tik-Tok together, type of crew. Their goal is to achieve a level of comfort among their employees that reflects in the product they sell. Authenticity is at the root of their well-deserved success.
In order to achieve this level of comfortability, they’ve structured their business around five core values:
We’re People First: Whether we're clothing them, caring for them, or working with them, people are our top priority.
We Have Commitments: We’re committed to following through. We’re committed to each other. We’re committed to you.
We Think Big: Why set goals that you know you can meet? Audacious isn’t our middle name, but it should be.
We Act As Owners: We work like Mizzen+Main belongs to every single one of us. Because honestly, it does.
We Never Settle: Good enough isn’t good enough. We seek to surpass our own expectations every single day.
“We’re all about the moments that happen at our office but in-between our work—when what we do becomes more than just a duty, a task, or a job.
We find comfort in these moments. Coincidentally, we make clothes that help people feel the same.
”
Walking the Talk
For Mizzen+Main, implementation of their core values is key. One of their most applaudable commitments to their community is through their partnership with Adaptive Training Foundation (ATF), an organization that provides rehabilitation and training to veterans and people who have endured life-altering injuries. Making a positive, lasting change in their community and in lives of so many is their ultimate goal.

Think Big with Mizzen+Main
Mizzen+Main highly prioritizes the success, enjoyment, and fulfillment of their employees. Through team outings, collaborative workspaces, and an overall family-style workplace, they have created a recognizably comfortable environment for all members of their growing team.
After working with this driven team for over two years now, we can attest to what an incredible group of people makes up Mizzen+Main. We are thrilled to continue our relationship with them as they grow, better their community, and build their impressive brand.
If you’re ready to change course in your career and join the team at Mizzen+Main, there’s no better time like the present.
