"As far as #menswear litmus tests go, few trump a Wallace and Barnes name-check. First launched in 2011, longtime fans will recognize the celebrated workwear-leaning brand as a (sneaky) premium sub-label of none other than J.Crew, offering elevated takes on Americana workwear styles that marry heritage designs with their parent-brand's mass market appeal."
"After a few seasons away from the limelight, J.Crew is officially relaunching the W&B mantle, with a renewed dedication to traditional workwear and forward-looking investment in branded collabs with the likes of Maximum Henry and Schott. Designed around the concept of midcentury garments, the inaugural capsule features a host of workwear styles that include duck canvas jackets, officer chinos and heavy thermals, as well as a variety of standout statement outwear and accessories."
""We were inspired by New York City in the 1950s - a time when people knew their neighbors and things were made to last. That's the core of the Wallace & Barnes ethos: building innately stylish pieces that defy passing trends," said Brendon Babenzien, Creative Director at J.Crew (who also happens to be the founder of Noah)."
