“Nigel Cabourn is a historian, and is authentic with his work. He really understands quality.”

How he describes Boston style:  “Understated, quiet. It’s there, but not as loudly as New York or other places.”

How his style has evolved through the years: “I’ve tried to understand how things should fit before worrying about labels. I understand what I like and I go with that first. I try to find things that I can wear a lot and get a lot of use out of. I try to flee from the flavor of the week mentality. I go by quality, and getting quality things for cheap.”
