Wholesale Account Executive

WHO WE ARE

In 2012, Mizzen+Main set out to end the trade-off between looking sharp and feeling comfortable, and in doing so helped create the performance menswear category. We re-engineer classics with better materials and considered construction, built to keep pace with the life our customer leads.

We are now entering our next chapter: evolving from a performance shirt company into a premium menswear brand. Our customer is an established, accomplished professional. He values substance over show, is loyal to the few brands that earn it, and expects his clothes to meet his standards. We are building a brand worthy of him.
