Ovadia & Sons
Ovadia & Sons is a new company out of New York entering the world of hand tailored suiting. Started by two brothers whose family have been in the clothing business for 25+ years, Ovadia & Sons is their first foray into menswear and focuses on creating pieces with the best fabrics and manufactures the industry has to offer. I need to do some more research to find out where the clothing is made exactly, but I do know their ties are made by Drakes of London (shoes are also made in the UK). Regardless, things looks really good and while O&S calls their collection "cutting edge Americana" I am a tad inclined to find reference points in a much more European style of dress. Anyhow, be on the lookout for their S/S 2011 collection, a preview of which can be seen below and some of which was featured in WWD last week. I should also point out that the zig zag tie is a must own.

backstory on the tie. v snazzy. http://10engines.blogspot.com/2010/02/have-papers-arrived-yet-fawlty.html
ReplyDeleteDamn, that tie was meant for me. It'd match my watch strap perfectly.
ReplyDelete^ Good info on the tie James.
ReplyDeleteLawrence - do they have any stockists lined up in the U.S. yet?
R.A. - I don't think so. I think they might have their own store/showroom in NY?
ReplyDeleteThe tie is the official tie of the English Royal Artillery.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback guys - theres a lot more to show.
ReplyDeleteRight now, we are exploring options to see who we want to stock the line.
We are going to have a small trunk show for friends at wholesale...

ReplyDeleteThose velvet slippers need to end up on my feet.
ReplyDeleteSpread collar gingham? Yes please. And those larger than life lapels are nuts. (alliteration FTW)
ReplyDeletevery refreshing to see this stuff.
ReplyDeleteFantastic stuff. Just fantastic.
ReplyDeleteWow. What else can I say...FINALLY a GOOD new brand.
ReplyDeleteThe window pane suit is stunning and I must own that zig zag tie.
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful stuff.
Love the shirts. Remember us Tall guys!!!!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget us "larger guys" too. Well dressed men can wear a 46R or 48R suit and still want to look smashing!
ReplyDeleteVery, very well done.
ReplyDeleteIt looks a bit too handmade, and not the good handmade, more like homemade. I don't see any Americana there. It's Italian enough to be Lino. All they need to sell now are some pocket chains.
ReplyDeleteThis stuff is insane...please update where it will be sold, I have to have that grey suit.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Mens Wearhouse.
ReplyDeleteAnd the tie is from Smart Turnout
classics.
ReplyDeleteSorry but no man needs a pair of velvet slippers.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see the Prince Albert Slipper in this collection, I know they are real deal. Drakes? SICK
ReplyDeleteTHAT NAUTICAL SWEATER W GLD BTNS IS SOMETHING I HAVE BEEN ON THE HUNT FOR. DOES IT COME IN OTHER COLORS? WHATS THE PRICE AND WHAT'S IT MADE OF?...IM INTRIGUED.
ReplyDelete-JAKE
The Albert slippers will be offered in velvet, linen and suede in multiple colors.
ReplyDeleteThe nautical sweater with working shoulder buttons will be available in white/navy and navy/red - it is 100% Cotton. It will retail for $295.
WOW... when, where ?
ReplyDeleteUgh. I let someone talk me out of that contrast collar-on-blue gingham in a custom shirt. Now I see how great it would have turned out. Really nice stuff.
ReplyDeletegreat stuff..very refreshing to see this stuff..
