Brown and Church was established in 1976 by Sam Brown and Bill Church as a classic neckwear collection for the better men’s specialty store.

yApre' and Keys & Lockwood

Our connection to the neckwear industry dates back much further, and is more diverse than most brands. Our company includes yApre' Cravats, a collection created by Herbert Bergheim in the late 1930’s that connected with a much more flamboyant customer. As well as Keys & Lockwood, a classic American neckwear collection establisehd in 1881.

Brown & Church was relocated from Manhattan, NY, to Sam’s home town of Pilot Mountain, NC in 1980. Known for its history in textile and apparel manufacturing, this region is seeing a re-vitalization of consumer interest in “Made in America” products and heritage brands.
