Just One Idea
I started out with one idea - to raise the standard of quality for apparel for women. I’ve been a product geek since I can remember and I am awe-inspired when I see my clothes worn by the women they were intended for - those who appreciate quality, durability and great style.

From my niece scoffing pieces from her mom’s closet, college students’ thrift shop finds to customers showing up in my store wearing items over ten years old that are still holding up and wearing well. Favorite pieces - that’s my mission - creating beloved items of clothing that customers can wear and wear again. From one generation to the next...
With love and gratitude,

Buy back Project
Thirty years in the business feels like 30 seconds. Made in Maine one-shirt-at-a-time since 1994.
During the months of April and October we buy back our older designs and credit you $30 towards something new in our store or online. Stop in with your item or send us a photo (front and back) to store@jillmcgowan.com. Once we approve and receive it in the mail, we will send you a gift card for $30 to use online or in our store. Questions about how it works? Call 207-772-2199.
We can't wait to see your treasures. Check out our gallery of images from past collections!
