Southern Hospitality with Billy Reid

Southern Hospitality With Billy Reid from Jake Davis on Vimeo.

First off, I apologize for my absence but you must understand I spent the past couple of weeks searching for inspiration, and this past week I found it in Chicago. As I continue to work and prepare for an art show later this summer and my eventual move to New York, I'll be needing to step back from the computer a bit more.

In returning back to the south yesterday, I was pleased to find this short vid on our own Billy Reid, GQ/CFDA's Best New American Mens Designer. Mr. Reid speaks a bit on his creative process, inspiration and his dedication to building a brand rich with quality and heritage. (Whats more American than that?)

RUN OF THE MILL SHOP

Run Of The Mill is a new online shop put together by a few good men with the honorable intention of simply curating their favorite styles and pieces. Featuring design collaborations with none other than Mark McNairy, the new creative director for heritage label Woolrich Woolen Mills, their Spring/Summer lineup is small but smartly tailored.
It seems the guys at ROTM decided to knock us out with the first punch; Their first colab with McNairy is the Loden Green Suede Longwing, a deep olive suede wingtip with a natural/welted crepe sole. By adding some light leather laces, this new classic will be perfect for transitioning into fall. Personally, I can't get over the 8 pocket Navy Cargo pants by Mark McNairy New Amsterdam which at $238 might leave you with nothing to fill all those pockets with, but at the least, I'm feeling inspired to thrift a similar pair and visit the tailor.
