A Dream Collaboration:
I've often thought about those phantom pants that are no longer with us. Collaborating with the brand that helped shape me has been a true honor. Working at Brooks Brothers taught me the essence of American Trad, or "ametora." For example, I learned about the history of American clothing, like how the three-button jacket evolved into a two-button style with a "roll." That knowledge was incredibly significant for me.
When it came to collaborating with Brooks Brothers, I wanted to do something only I could do. That's why I wanted to bring back the "Thompson" trousers, which I used to love. For the second collaboration, I chose a classical two-pleat pattern for the "Saxony pants," a style you rarely see these days.When I left Brooks Brothers, I always hoped to collaborate with the brand someday. So, this truly is a lifelong dream come true.
