Basic + Standard is the vision of father and son, Christian and Arlo Regester—an atelier where craft meets movement, and clothing becomes an extension of how you live.

Christian’s journey began in the mountain town of Silver Plume, Colorado, sewing denim for snowboarders with friends, and continued at Parsons School of Design in New York. Years shaping collections for leading outdoor brands like Patagonia and Arc’teryx honed his understanding of form, function, and material integrity. Arlo brings a fresh perspective, curiosity, and an instinct for detail, creating a partnership that balances experience with discovery.

Together, they create garments for those who navigate the world with attention and purpose. Each piece is cut to follow the geometry of motion, crafted from the finest materials, and designed to feel deliberate, comfortable, and effortless from the first wear. From rugged denim shaped by mountain air to versatile apparel for daily exploration, Basic + Standard offers clothing that resonates with utility, quiet elegance, and enduring presence—built for people who move through life fully attuned to the moment.
