TIMOTHY, DESIGNER

This T-shirt comes from a hotel in the Bahamas [the Compleat Angler Hotel in Bimini] where Hemingway lived for twoyears. It was a gift from a friend.

“My interest in clothing started when I was in high school in Philadelphia. When I bought my first Supreme piece, I remember thinking, ’Wow, that’s cool.’ A few years later, I worked at Drake’s, and when I got my first suit jacket, it had the same effect. I was really into tailoring for a while, but now I’m trying to have more fun and am into this Western vibe.“

I really like this Wythe shirt. The colors, the weight of the fabric and the overall appearance somehow remind me of summer nights up in the mountains.

A Levi’s bootcut Orange Tab I found on eBay. Jeans are the base for many of my outfits. I’ve learned to appreciate high-rise pants, so I mainly buy vintage now.

My boots are also from Wythe. They make me four inches taller, which is a real plus, but I had to get used to walking a little differently, with my legs bowed, like a real cowboy.
