Sepetember’s GQ features a look at the forthcoming Levi’s Workwear by Billy Reid Collection. Here’s Mr. Reid discussing how the collection’s inspiration started rolling. “The Levi’s archive numbers something like 7,500 pieces, so we sent them some signature elements from our fall line—our peacoat, our chino—and they pulled some stuff for us to look at. The thing that stuck out immediately was an old blacksmith’s work apron they’d recovered in New Mexico or somewhere.”

I’m really struck by how good Mr. Reid looks there, despite wearing two denim pieces of alarmingly similar wash.
I think he takes pride in the whole Texas Tuxedo thing.
