About Kevin McLaughlin

Kevin McLaughlin started J. McLaughlin in 1977 with his brother Jay. They envisioned a timeless lifestyle brand with a legacy of style and a spirit of connection.

Kevin’s taste and design-sense has guided the J.McLaughlin collection since the first store opened, and he prides himself on creating effortless and enduring styles with a modern twist. Each style is thoughtfully designed with impeccable craftsmanship, original colors and prints and innovative fabrics.
