When I was between the ages of 6 and 8, I had two passions in my life which I loved most in the world. The first was clothing and the second was automobiles. I didn't know how to divide up my passions because I'm the type of person who likes to learn about every single little detail about how it's made, raw materials used, and looking at the finer details of the design, but I couldn't decide which one of my passions I should follow the most. I decided to follow my passion for automobiles because that is where I felt happy. Growing up, I always had nice clothes and dressed well. It made me feel good when I would dress up for school or even for a party and I would get complements from people, but I never worried about anyones opinion on how good I looked. My focus has always been on automobiles and I decided to pursue my passion, but in the back of my mind I wondered a lot about my clothing choices. I spent a lot of time learning about every single detail about automobiles especially about engineering. I poured over years learning about things like downforce, tires, F1 and Le Mans, but the more I spent time on those things, it seemed more like a hobby than a passion. However, my passion for clothing grew and grew over time and I wanted to explore the world of Bespoke Tailoring.
The first time I heard of bespoke tailoring was when I was 14 years old and I was watching the first James Bond Movie called Dr. No. There was a line in from the movie which sparked my interest, the line which James Bond said in the movie was "My Tailor, Savile Row". Me being curious as I am, I searched what Savile Row is and that's where I first heard the term, Bespoke Tailoring. I did follow up further learning about bespoke tailoring, but I kept getting pulled back into automobiles, so I never followed it any further than I originally desired. In 2018, when I was 30 years old, I fell in love with clothing, but I was more into fashion. It was the worst decision of my life, but it was also the best decision of my life because a few years later, in 2020, I fell in love with classic style. In those two years, I have made so many mistakes along the way. buying skin tight jeans, streetwear sneakers, and following the latest fashion trends like I was chasing after a bag of skittles and I just wanted to be apart of that fashion life. In 2020, I wanted to get back into bespoke tailoring because fashion was not what I was looking for in the long run. When I started to learn about bespoke tailoring, I also picked up on classic style, but I always wondered what is classic style.
Classic style to me is about dressing like a proper gentleman, with timeless looks, and elegant style. I knew that I finally found my happiness and the one thing I have been searching for my whole life, but in the back of my mind I couldn't stop thinking about automobiles, so I kept an even balance of both my passions. The further I wanted to make a move towards classic style, I knew in the back of my mind that my passion for automobiles was just an interest, but I still couldn't let go because I felt like I was leaving a piece of my childhood behind. When I was 12 years old, I always wanted a collection of automobiles, I didn't care about my clothes at all, I just wanted a big garage of classic Porsche's, but having a big garage full of classic Porsche's would never make me happy. It wasn't until October 26, 2022 that I had to realize that I was growing up and it was okay to leave a bit of my childhood behind. No matter what, I will always be a car guy, but I rather just have a full size SUV to get from point A to point B. As long as I have more money for bespoke tailoring, bespoke shoes, watches, and going out with friends, that's all that matters to me. I finally am able to find my true passion, it might have taken me 35 years, but classic style and bespoke tailoring is all I can think about. I wakeup everyday and the first thought in my mind is fabrics, style, colors, patterns, and building my wardrobe.
