We are Steven Heard and Rick Levine. Together, we're reinventing Dillon Montara, a vintage-inspired clothing brand, creating made-to-order clothing, in classic silhouettes.
What’s in a name?
Originally created by Steven and Robert Patterson in 2014, Dillon Montara is named for two cherished Bay Area beaches bracketing San Francisco: Dillon Beach, to the north of Point Reyes, and Montara Beach, just south of Pacifica.
We've always loved time spent on beaches; the clarity and peace we get from the sound of the surf, the perspective gleaned from the long, ever-changing vistas, and the sense of detachment and remove from our day-to-day cares.
The name Dillon Montara serves as our reminder to remain thoughtful, to carefully consider details in the context of the whole, and to act from a place of calmness and patience.
As our skills and viewpoints have matured, we recognized we couldn't continue with the current methods and models of the fashion industry.
With today's Dillon Montara, we're recasting the brand as an antidote for short-lived, ill-fitting, mass-produced clothing. We're reimagining the process of sizing, fitting, and manufacturing garments. Go to ApparelWerks.com to learn more.
