Where and What is Concord, MA?


Where can you hear cannons going off at noon on a Saturday afternoon or see men walking down the street in Revolutionary War garb and a musket? Concord, MA of course! Concord is our hometown and the influence behind our button downs. Here’s a history 101 on Concord:
