The Rugged Gentleman was inspired by my late grandfather, Robert Stanley Detwiler; or Grandpa Bob. Grandpa Bob embodied the iconographic gentleman, in my eyes. A salesman for Kodak in the 1950's, he wore a suit every day, always dressed with a sense of understated flair. I picture him tipping his hat at passerby's with a warm smile extending from his lips. He was a simple man with great honesty and integrity; a man of pure kindness and charm.

This collection incorporates the iconic details and silhouettes from decades spanning from the 1910's to the 1960's.

A gentleman who is refined and sophisticated, yet also rugged and adventurous.
