光年

LITE YEAR began in 2016 as a consulting agency between Los Angeles and New York before quietly evolving into a brand of its own. Founded by Andy Inness and Yuri Sin, it operates as a passion project rather than a scaled operation: low quantities, made with craftsmen and women who care about their craft, and fabrics sourced primarily from Italy, Japan, and the United States for their utility and quality. The design language draws from American sports and workwear — classic silhouettes, generous cuts, relaxed pants, overshirts, and a now-signature line of caps and small goods — but the execution is more considered than nostalgic. Nothing is designed to shout.
