Why By Robert James

By Robert James is an independent American menswear brand, designed and made in New York City by Robert James. Now in our 17th year, we remain dedicated to creating timeless, handsome garments with a tough, independent twist.

Every By Robert James piece is crafted in small batches, made to order, and produced in the heart of New York City’s historic Garment Center. Our nearly hands-on process means we source the fabrics, manage the trims, work directly with our factory partners, and oversee every stitch of production. This approach not only guarantees exceptional quality but supports the skilled artisans and small businesses keeping NYC’s garment industry alive.

By Robert James isn’t about fast fashion or chasing trends. It’s about making garments that feel strong, look timeless, and are built to last—pieces with a soul, designed to evolve with you over time.

No gimmicks. No logos. Just clean, considered design with purpose.
