Distilled seeks to insert disruptively strange, beautiful and unexpected experiences into everyday life. Distilled's garments are smart and clean. Our bright colors, quirky styling and authentic technical innovations bring a new meaning to geek chic. We give Prepster staples an update with imaginative details that improve the performance of each garment. Fit is tailored to a fine tolerance and materials are sourced in California, Japan and Italy, but every garment is hand-made in San Francisco in numbered editions of 300.
Matty Merrill is Distilled's co-founder and brings the "chic" to "geek chic". Prior to founding Distilled, Matty was a menswear designer for Triple 5 Soul. Matty began his design career as a costume and prop designer for Carfagno Productions, where his specialty was creating costumes for B-movie superheroes. He studied design under Matt Kahn at Stanford. He, his wife Emily (also a Distilled employee), and son Henry live in San Francisco.
Sep Kamvar is Distilled's co-founder and brings the "geek" to "geek chic". Prior to founding Distilled, Sep was a grad student in math at Stanford, where he met Matty, and where he is currently a math professor. While he doesn't have the design background that Matty has, he maintains that he dresses better (and is more handsome). Sep and his fiancee Angie (who is not a Distilled employee but wishes she were) live in San Francisco.
