When we last visited Vintage Red they were releasing their Spring 2008 line and we were so impressed with the pieces, not to mention the vibe of the company, that we were falling over ourselves to sing its praise.

We wrote things like, “Vintage Red’s latest designer accessories contribution to our closet is inspired by world travels, beers in Bali, and long laughs shared with “citizens of the world” and “we love a line of clothing that wears like a postcard and a company with pride like poetry.” Is it obvious that we were smitten?

Fast forward to the now. Spring fashion planet has long ago sprung and wilted beneath the heat of summer and we’re standing on the cusp of change- falling leaves and football. We need new clothes.

Major League Baseball will be celebrating the All-Star break in one week. That doesn’t mean you can’t start celebrating it now. We’re talking jerseys, people.

Granted, we usually don’t suggest that people wear replica jerseys and faux uniforms as a fashion statement. However, as a regular statement they are generally acceptable. Still, you probably shouldn’t wear them to the office. They’re much more appropriate to wear to the game, bar, or other sports-related event. Luckily we go to a lot of games, bars and sports-related events. Mostly bars.

For our ongoing feature, Indy Designer Interviews, Eric Niccoli,
Creative Director/ Designer, Orthodox Clothing, talks about the subculture of being an indy brand and the importance of wire transfers.

Typically we see “orthodox” with a religious connection. Can you explain how you employ it? In its purest definition, orthodox means an, “adherence to an approved form of doctrine, philosophy, or ideology.” Here, at Orthodox, we are creating a lifestyle brand with its own personality and identity. This doesn’t imply a perpetual monotony. Fashion evolves and so will Orthodox, but it will do so while retaining our own, peculiar DNA.

There’s like 5 billion men’s wear lines out there, why should I buy yours? Because we are the bestest in the whole wide world… kidding. We have created a look and feel that is unique in the marketplace. People want to feel unique. In a world of faceless multiplicity, people want to feel like they have identity. Clothing is one of the easiest ways of expressing one’s personality and identity. So here at Orthodox we offer the medium of clothing as a means of self expression. We provide forwardly fashionable garments with an intellectually masculine aesthetic. And what man out there doesn’t want to be a fashion forward, intellectual man?

We love us some good funny. We also love a creative t-shirt. Put the two together and you’re singing our song, or at least humming it.

The folks at Goodie Two Sleeves know the tune, and they are pretty good at carrying it.
