Something you could own forever



While I was at the Saltbox opening last week I saw this amazing black men's blazer, with lining that was double panelled in contrasting patterns. After begging my friend to try it on for a good ten minutes (he refused on the grounds that inside the store it was "sweltering") I put the the garment on. I knew that it wouldn't fit but I just wanted to feel it. I was quickly approched by a man who was shaking his head saying, "no, no that's way too big for you!" It turns out this slight, very bearded man, dressed casually in a t-shirt, jeans and a very low baseball cap was the label's creator, Brendan Babenzien. We talked about craftsmanship, politics, environmental sustainability, Vancouver and New York.

Great man, and he makes beautiful and timeless men's garments. I wonder if he can be persuaded into making a few for women as well...




For a nice little article on the man himself,
