Built from
the beginning.
Paper patterns. Fabric on the floor. A standard worth building.
This is where American Lineage began and the commitment behind what we make today.

A disciplined
mindset.
After more than a decade of military service, Nathaniel Mills brought his focus on discipline and dependable gear to American Lineage.
The work started at home: cutting paper patterns on the counter, spreading them across the floor, and turning an idea into something tangible.
These are photographs from those early days. The setting was simple. The commitment was there from the start.
From paper
to fabric.
Before the finished garment, there is the pattern. Before the collection, there is the work of bringing each piece together.
These early layouts show that process up close: body and sleeve patterns, fabric, and the individual pieces that form a garment.
American-made
starts with
the fabric.
The fabric matters. So does where it comes from and the people who turn it into something you can wear.
Making apparel in America using USA fabrics is a commitment at the heart of American Lineage.
Made here. With purpose.
Today, our apparel is made in the USA using USA fabrics, and cut and sewn in San Diego. We work with independent production partners to bring that standard into every garment.
From the early patterns to the collection you see today, our purpose remains the same: American-made performance apparel, built with integrity.
