Established by Pete Macnee in Brooklyn, New York City, in 2015, Adsum is an American clothing brand that put its focus on high quality manufacturing and timeless design. Adsum creates garment pieces that has been inspired by the cities, landscapes and climates of the Northeast of the United States of America. The Adsum collections are made of unique basic styles with stripped down, classic looks, blending traditional menswear with a mix of technical outerwear and sportswear.

Adsum: The ultimate combination of technical functionality, comfort & casual flavor.

In 2015, Macnee was looking for opportunities to develop further and realize his own ideas. He was interested in manufacturing clothing in NYC. The clothing he wanted to design was clothing that is difficult to manufacture such as technical outdoor clothing. For example, Macnee wanted to find out how down jackets and seam-sealed rain jackets could be produced without having to rely on remote production facilities. Deep down it was a passionate project, just designing timeless apparel pieces he’d like to wear himself.

Growing up doing different kind of sports like soccer, rugby, tennis and hockey, sportswear always had a huge impact on Adsum. Plus, the outdoors was also a big influence of the Adsum founder’s life. Those two things will always be a constant inspiration for Adsum collections. Adsum also wants to keep things casual instead of adding too much fancy details. Adsum’s goal is to work with the best fabrics and the best mills in the world, but the company still want to be approachable. Plus, the Brooklyn-based brand likes to keep it purist and simple to make sure their clothes won’t run out of style when the season is finished.
