We are privileged to be able to call Julie Hertling a friend. Julie, is a true gentleman, who has been able to stay relevant in this very trendy and fickle industry by steadfastly delivering meticulously hand-tailored trousers—using turn-of-the-century craftsmanship in Brooklyn, NY. In his words: “I don’t know. I like what I’m doing, and if I’m not doing it, I don’t think I’d know what else to do”, revealing what is most likely the key to  his longevity and success.

Featuring clothing and accessories by Drinkwater’s

Drinkwater’s in Cambridge, MA is one of the top menswear boutiques in the area. Run by Gary Drinkwater, the store is in its fifth year and has recently debuted an in-house line of shirts. Says Gary about the Henderson shirt, “the space that our store is located is the Henderson Carriage Building, where carriages, sleighs and barges were once built. I thought it only fitting to celebrate the craft and the work wear aesthetic for this product launch.”

Gary Drinkwater’s compact Cambridge boutique effortlessly blends traditional clothing with neo-traditional sportswear.

When avid hiker George Keeler couldn’t find a waterproof backpack with a bit more urban zing than the ubiquitous North Face carryall, he took matters into his own hands — literally. Then a sophomore at Lehigh University, the Wayland native borrowed a neighbor’s sewing machine, learned how to use it, and cranked out a prototype for his canvas and leather “Hillside” pack.
