Raised in:

Lives in:
The island of East Nashville.

Favorite southern style trend:
The trend of bold colors is one I think will stick around for a while. I also love blending the formal and casual line – dressing up denim & dressing down suits – the unexpected is much more fun!

Favorite southern based designer:
My favorite designer, hands down, is Sid Mashburn. What I love about Sid is that his clothing is indicative of his personal style. It’s timeless menswear with a perfect blend of European & American influence. When it comes to southern dress, Sid is the Godfather.

What brought you down south:
I moved to Nashville for a grad school program at Vanderbilt, but I stayed in Nashville because of the amazing community. I live in East Nashville which is one of the most creative and supportive communities that a small business owner/artisan could hope to find! Plus, biscuits and gravy are now my favorite meal.

Now would ya look at that:
Meet Danielle, the woman behind New York to Nashville. After moving from New York to Nashville (hence the name), she began selling vintage western wear through an eBay storefront. “Sometimes I would find amazing cowboys shirts that were missing the pearl snap buttons, but the fabric clearly still had a story to tell. I decided to begin crafting pocket squares, cufflinks and earrings from that reclaimed fabric. For every fabric, I let it tell it’s story and name it after a famous (or infamous) historic/Southern character. The South is full of stories that are yet to be told.”

Last band you saw live:
I see quite a few shows (10 last week alone), but a few have really caught my attention: Sir Sly, based out of Los Angeles has a sound in the realm of Foster the People, Imagine Dragons and Alt-J. They put on one of the best shows I’ve seen in the last year. I think they’re poised to breakout in 2013. Pickwick, from Seattle, was much the same way, with a Pacific Northwest take on indie soul and garage rock that makes for one gigantic party in a live setting. Can’t get enough of their debut record Can’t Talk Medicine. Charleston’s Steven Fiore played one of our house shows recently and had the whole crowd entranced with his Jason Mraz-esque vibes. He covered Jeff Buckley’s “Lover You Should’ve Come Over” better than anyone I’ve ever heard. Definitely one to watch for.

Favorite local BBQ spot:
Edley’s. It’s the best all around BBQ that I have found so far here in Nashville.

Now would ya look at that:
Meet Harris, the newest employee at Volunteer Traditions, standing outside their new office (1004 8th Ave South). The new space, which will include a showroom, is set to open at the end of May! It’s been so fun to watch this company grow from Mason‘s apartment, to an office, to two offices, and now this new location. Stay updated.

Favorite part about interning for Nisolo:
 I developed lasting relationships with a team that was both inspiring and driven. Working for people that you respect not only builds trust within a company, it creates an atmosphere for you to produce your best work in.

Trio Custom Clothiers

Photographed in Atlanta, GA

I wanted to meet the guys behind TRIO Custom Clothiers after I saw their suits on our friend, Jonathan (posted here and here). Mark and I recently met them at West Egg and got to know their business, as well as get insight on their newly opened showroom. Since then, we stopped by and got Mark fitted for his first tux and loved our visit. You can order online by sending in measurements, but if you’re in the Atlanta area, or plan on being there soon, we highly recommend visiting the showroom to get the full experience (topped off with some whiskey!)

Now, get to know a little about TRIO…

Describe TRIO Custom Clothiers:
We make custom shirts and suits for men. The customer gets measured, then chooses from many style options and fabric to create an outfit unique to them.

What the storefront is like:
The store is more of a consultation center for assisting the average and not-so-average man in building a garment that looks and fits great, incorporating a blend of modern and vintage motifs to reflect our garments’ cut and style.

Why Atlanta:
Not only is Atlanta our beloved home-town, Atlanta is starting to see a resurgence in male fashion, especially that infused with Southern style.

Anything else you want readers to know about TRIO:
Our goal is to provide a surprisingly affordable and convenient custom clothing experience.
