As we round the corner into cooler weather, one can only begin to think fondly of Fall. I remember the first day of school and the excitement of new clothes, seeing friends after a summer apart, and the anxious feeling of beginning a new journey. And so I found this feeling familiar, as I embarked on the creation of a timeless way of dressing that is both masculine and lovely, classic and contemporary. Considered creation (and consumption) means being free from the bonds of change for it's own sake and the wake of waste that mentality brings. These are the clothes of your father's father. Of strong and gentle men with an easy confidence and a love for simple living. There is art and poetry in each of us. In the slight tilt of your newsboy cap and the crisp roll of your shirt sleeves. Or is the way your trousers drape, hung from your shoulders by grosgrain and leather? Maybe life and art don't imitate each other, but move together in a casual, intimate way like the ocean and the sand. Two old lovers and a bottle of Chianti in the back of a cozy, jazz club. So much communication and so little need to use words. As the season changes and nature implores you with her fall palette of rust, browns, and warm greys, I wish you the beautiful anxiety of a grand undertaking. Whether it be a new lover, business or project of passion how lucky we are to fall in love again. Oh, and if you find yourself in need of a slouchy trouser or reliable cap to accompany you on your quest, do let us know.
