Wingfield is four generations of American textile people making one thing: an American shirt, from fiber to finish.

The name

Our founder, M.A. McKinnon, was born at the turn of the century in rural Georgia, to Scottish immigrant farmers. Cotton was the lifeblood of his community. His uncle — a man named Wingfield, an executive at the Eagle & Phenix Cotton Mill — gave M.A. his first job, and his first lesson: that cloth and country are woven together.

The mill

M.A. left school at seventeen for The Swift Textile Company. He became the youngest mill manager in its history, then took a sales post at Swift's New York headquarters — before deciding he'd rather build something of his own. In the 1960s his two sons joined him. In 1984, the family acquired mill assets and became a vertically integrated maker: we don't just design cloth, we weave it.

The cloth

For decades we engineered yarn-dyed shirting for people who work — fabric built to be comfortable, breathable, and strong enough to last. Wingfield is that same cloth, cut into a shirt worth keeping.

Today

We still own our mill. We still weave in America. And we make one shirt at a time, to your measure — cloth you can trace to the mill that made it.
