Who is your style inspiration?

[Turnip]

No particular person of public interest or so, just some British working class guys i knew.

When i used to work on shipyards as a kid there were always some British and Scottish welders around and these, though significantly older than me, were by far the coolest and toughest guys around.

Always in Martens boots, black or red, Jeans, shirt and a leather jacket or Harrington and that was it…giving a sh.t on conventions…just great fellows who worked hard, drank hard, slapped hard.

I still often dress a similar way today.

I grew up with some homemade custom clothes and have a photo of myself as a little kid standing next to my father, and my suit matched his pants. A friend and I noticed that both matched the drapes, too, lol. I grew up wearing incredibly stiff Wrangler corduroys and jeans from Sears, with knee patches ironed on the inside to make them last longer. I also admired the build quality of my father’s military fatigues.

Style runs in my family. Both of my grandfathers, who came from different ethnic backgrounds, had their own cool look. My dapper great-uncle worked for Brooks Brothers for 66 long years and gave Ralph Lauren his start there.

Modern-day, my fashion design heroes are Calvin Klein and Tom Ford for Gucci, along with Richard Stark of Chrome Hearts. Add in some Rock-n-Roll, some comic book heroes, and Nike/ACG soccer athletic apparel, and you got my style.
