What to know about Ministry of Supply
Office clothes built like activewear
Dress shirts, trousers and blazers are made from technical knits and stretch fabrics, so the fit and feel sit closer to sportswear than to traditional tailoring.
Engineering claims, not styling claims
Founded by former MIT students, the label sells specifics: NASA-derived phase-change material in the Apollo shirt, stretch Kinetic trousers, blazers knitted to shape.
Direct-to-consumer at mid prices
Started with a Kickstarter for the Apollo shirt and still sells mostly online plus a few US stores, keeping technical business clothing in the mid tier.

Brand facts
Ministry of Supply is a Boston performance-workwear label founded in 2012 by former MIT students Gihan Amarasiriwardena, Aman Advani, Kit Hickey and Kevin Rustagi, after a Kickstarter campaign for the Apollo dress shirt built around NASA-derived phase-change materials. It engineers men's and women's business clothing from technical knits and stretch fabrics, including the Apollo shirt, Kinetic trousers and 3D Print-Knit blazers knitted to shape to reduce waste. The privately held company sells direct online and through a small group of US stores, sitting between tailoring and activewear.
