Throughout our extended conversation, we discussed the store's opening, menswear in Austin, retail experiences, building a capsule wardrobe, his journey from Iowa to the runway, celebrities he'd like to dress, his personal inspiration, favorite places to travel, golf attire, tailoring, and so much more.
