“Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.” —Coco Chanel
American Colors couldn’t have said it better. They truly understand comfort. They come from a blue blood lineage in fashion. Henry Lehr who in the early 90′s revolutionized silk broadcloth parachute fabric into a recipe for sand washed silks, started the company. It was taken over by his son and daughter-in-law Shannon in 1997 and has continued to grow and blossom under their loving care. You couldn’t work with two nicer people. By the way Christina Lehr of Christina Lehr tees is Alex’s sister and she has the same nice, honest approach to business as her brother and father when he was in the business.
They produce clothing of the highest quality because they care. They care that its done right and that its comfortable. They work closely and have long-standing relationships with their fabric mills, factories, pattern makers and design shops. They care that its environmentally responsible.
Their unique aesthetic always remembers tradition and the past. Whether its a shirt, tee, pant or jackets their look is timeless but always fresh and hip. Updated details and fabric innovation keeps the line relevant from season to season. Their collection contains great fitting basics in the finest quality cottons in a sophisticated color palette.
Alex and Shannon have old souls for such young designers. They embrace what is small and special and they don’t look for growth at any cost. Instead they find themselves driven to make beautiful quality clothing that is within the reach of anyone looking for something special. My American Colors cargo pants get softer and better from year to year and always look “fashion right”. It this day and age when everyone is looking for value American Colors delivers.
It appeals to a woman of any age and is shown on Deborah Morgan (actor Jennifer Carpenter) – Dexter’s sister on the popular Showtime series Dexter as well as Jennifer Garner and Kate Hudson.
