In His Words
“I don’t tease, I just launch.”
“I feel like a lot of product is lazy, and I feel like the consumer allows it.”
“We don’t expect you to know everything when you walk in the door.”
“The way to get to your power is by working through things that you may feel are weaknesses.”

What They Said
“It’s fair to say B&W is making loafers for prepsters, sneakerheads and everyone in-between.”
“B&W’s designs are timeless and the materials are of the highest quality.”
“Blackstock & Weber happens to make some of the most handsome loafers in – well, the whole damn world.”
“B&W is an emblem of how many guys want to dress these days: a certain American timeliness spiked with an arty and semi-streetwear edge.”
