SKINNYFATTIES
In July 2012, Joshua Adam Brueckner found himself unemployed and short of change to buy new interview clothing, so he turned to his closet and got creative. It wasn’t long before he mastered the craft of tailoring wide neckties. Fed-up with the unforgiving job market, Brueckner trusted his gut, scrapped the interview schedule and began marketing SKINNYFATTIES to the world.

They Were Men Of Uncompromising Principle And Standard
Daily Fashion Illustration 144. Thursday, March 20. 2014
Style submitted by Marcus Foxx. -instagram @justfoxxisenough
'My style was developed in those moments that I stood in the bathroom with my father and grandfather as they dressed. They were men of uncompromising principle and standard. They always stressed the importance of a man's first impression. My brother and I learned the finer details of a man's appearance like others would the spiral of a football. Ties, fitted jackets, crisp shirts, socks, pocket squares, and a military shine.
My style reflects that tradition. It rejects trends in favor of tried and true staples. Detailed and creative, yet masculine. More colorful than my father, but assembled with an appreciation for class. And every now and then, a pair of sneakers with a jacket, shirt, tie just because a man has to call his own shots.'

Meisturwerk Machinen
Founded in London in 2009. The British founded creative label…Meisturwerk Machinen infuses design influences from German history and vintage Americana with the standards of British tailoring. While searching for inspiration to formalize this brand name, three principles became apparent to Mitch Button (Founder & President of Meisturwerk Machinen):
Meisterstuck - German word for masterpiece.
Uhrwerk – German word for clockwork.
Maschinen – German word for machine.
The hand crafted military inspired timepieces stem from the time that Mitch spent handling watches of horological and historic significance. After taking them apart and understanding them he began to craft his own.
200 MM-01 watches were hand crafted as the first mass produced timepieces for Meisturwerk Machinen.
