Jamie Clawson wearing the Chrysler Building Button Up and Shorts on a New York City street

Hi, I'm Jamie Clawson. I grew up in Cleveland, and I still love it. After college I moved to New York City, where I design today.

So I make clothes about both of my homes: Cleveland, Ohio, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, Manhattan, Staten Island. The skylines, the landmarks, the inside jokes, and the pride people carry for where they're from, whether they still live there or moved away years ago, like I did.

Some designs come from places. The Chrysler Building set is my love letter to the most beautiful building in New York, and the Guardian tee is for Cleveland's Guardians of Traffic. Some come from my own life. I first noticed that a map of the USA looks like a shark back in college, and it became the USA Shark. IDSKB stands for "I Don't Skateboard": I've always loved skate style and respected the skill, but my one real attempt in college didn't go well. And the Stella tee is a tribute to my wife's and my first dog.

Every piece is made to order when you buy it, so nothing sits in a warehouse and nothing goes to waste.

Thanks for being here. If a design makes you think of home, that's exactly the point.
