Our Mission
At W.R.K, we believe a man is not defined by his clothing. We believe he is made by his integrity, by his passions, by the manner in which he lives his life.
Function and mobility are at the core of W.R.K’s operation. You should NEVER have to compromise your comfort to look good. We design clothing that is multi-purpose, comfortable, and compatible for men to thrive in work and life.
Life makes the man. W.R.K makes clothes for life.
Our Story
Based in New York City, W.R.K designs contemporary workwear for the city dweller.
Our founder, Matteo Gottardi, is a fashion veteran and acknowledged CFDA Member. He launched W.R.K in 2011 with the philosophy of purposeful design: bridging functionality with aesthetics where neither aspect is compromised but rather, work together.
This design philosophy has sparked the creation of our signature Reworked Shirt and Performance Dress Shirt - both emphasizing enhanced comfort and function.
Our Beliefs
Work hard, play hard. Do good, receive good.

We want you to succeed and help you look and feel your best while working towards your goals.

Karma for life is a full circle.
Good karma - as all your hard work and deeds come back to you in tantamount.
