About Alton Lane

We are a custom menswear brand rooted in heritage, built for sustainability, and propelled by technology and human ingenuity.

Here at Alton Lane, we regard work as an essential part of life that should be fun.

When all is said and done, we make and sell fabulous clothes, but our customers truthfully make a difference. We pride ourselves on taking the guesswork out of getting dressed, so our customers can tackle whatever life throws at them and focus more on what counts.

A career at Alton Lane can provide you with an abundance of opportunities. You’ll learn, develop and grow by serving others, building long-term relationships—with customers and colleagues—and achieving inspiring results. We’re excited to meet you!
