This season marks the first in a four-season collab between tailored luxury designer Kyle Fitzgibbons of Native Son and North Carolina-based denim manufacturer Raleigh Denim.

A little over a decade ago, there was a men’s fashion singularity which ripped apart everything I thought was possible or impossible about men’s style and sent a ripple through the very fabric of modern menswear.

Kyle Fitzgibbons gets it right every season with his label Native Son–he always manages to craft modern, finely tailored American sportswear that feels classic.

I rather enjoyed a trip to Ozwald Boateng’s shop at 30 Savile Row: I was greeted by Mohommed Ouhtit who keeps shop and Michael Dale who looks after press and was given a tour of the masculine, dimly lit, modern interior of the shop and the showroom where they’d just done their presentation for London Fashion Week.

J Dilla changed my life by way of J. Rocc who mixed this joint. I remember this was one of the first podcasts I had ever heard from the now infamous Stones Throw record label…

Gaunt and hungry for men’s style, I consumed what sources were available and by the miracle of media machination, I was spoon-fed enough of those ideal style archetypes to indoctrinate a nation of millions…

My love for A.P.C. is no secret and fortunately for us, A.P.C. couldn’t keep a secret about their new ankle-high moccasin either…
