black-ivory – Alex Mill

Behind the Seams: Warby Parker for Alex Mill

Here's what happened when our two teams got together to take the sunglasses out for a test drive.

My Uniform: Vintage Dealer Sean Crowley

Among menswear insiders, Crowley Vintage is known as an Aladdin’s Cave of vintage finds. The contents of the shop—classic Anglo-American clothing from the last century—are a bit at odds with the store’s surroundings in Gowanus, an industrial section of Brooklyn better known for body shops than boutiques. Its proprietor, Sean Crowley, is a bit of a curiosity himself—a former menswear designer at Ralph Lauren, who now scours the globe in search of the perfect flannel chore jacket or awning-striped shirt from once-great (and now-forgotten) haberdashers.

My Uniform: Block Printer Jenny Cooper

Jenny Cooper is a designer and the creative force behind our block printing collaboration with Studio Bagru of Jaipur, India. She also is the founder of a bespoke coffee bar in Brooklyn called IXV coffee. The project is based on the concepts of community and sustainability.
