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.
What's in a name?
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 reinventing the process of sizing and fitting of garments. We're creating a manufacturing practice that supports making pieces sized and fit for an audience of one, just you. We're putting a stake in the ground of the fashion industry to demonstrate that "better" is possible and practical.
We welcome you to Dillon Montara.
Got questions? We have the measuring tape.
Our goal is to make you clothing that fits you, and makes you happy when you wear it. There's a text box for questions on the product page; ask when ordering, and we'll get right back to you. Or, email us at hello@dillonmontara.com
