The Origin Story
At the sight of a sweat-drenched D.C. staffer running into a meeting, the same thought that sparked a democracy also rattled around in our founder’s head: there has to be a better way. That better way was the Leeward. The best damn dress shirt.
It all starts with the fabric.
No one (and we mean no one) makes a better performance dress shirt. By combining the perfect blend of fibers with modern silhouettes, we’ve created clothes that look great and feel even better. Imagine wearing your favorite athletic wear to work. That’s what our dress shirts are like.

"A dress shirt that redefines versatile: sharp look, as comfortable as workout gear, and easy to wash at home or while on the road."
- Tommy S.
"Feeling like you’re going to the gym but looking like you’re working on Wall Street."
- Daniel O.
"The look of Monday through Thursday, with the comfort of Business Casual Friday."
- Jennifer V.
Meet the OG.
If you’re ready to exchange wrinkles and sweat stains for comfort and style, you’re ready for the Leeward. This is a dress shirt your hanger would be proud to wear.
