The Hero Survey

It’s nice that you don’t have to push innovation or the need for guys to be savvy up a hill anymore. I think guys have realized that it’s something for them to figure out and be on top of. People know that they’ve got to show up, and they’ve got to show up put together, and they’ve got to show up smart.

A quality blazer is suitable for any occasion. With a clean pair of jeans, a slim short, or a tailored Oxford shirt, looking pulled together is key for “showing up.”

Camouflage. I have seen it in everything from bags and garments to towels and soap. I need a break.

Travel. I enjoy observing personal style outside of my usual corners. When I’m traveling, I get the opportunity to live in the shoes of others while taking in another perspective.

I have always been an admirer of Charles and Ray Eames. I love their simple, but effective graphic prints.

A musician. I have played bass since childhood.

The early 1950s, especially in all things sport and leisure.

Although I grew up in the 1980s, I can’t see the style of that era beyond childhood nostalgia.

Paul Newman or Warren Beatty. American style icons, without a doubt.

Reconnect with my family, cook a festive meal, and reflect on what’s going on in all of our lives.

I think we can all see technology embedding itself into everything we wear and consume.
