HODINKEE Podcasts Todd Snyder (Menswear Designer)
This week, your host Stephen Pulvirent and HODINKEE editor Cara Barrett sit down with American menswear designer and entrepreneur Todd Snyder. Todd has been around and learned from the best at every stage of his career (think Ralph Lauren, the Gap, and J. Crew). He now runs his own eponymous label, which from the beginning put a distinctly American spin on wardrobe basics ranging from sweats to custom-tailored suits. Lucky for us, Todd is also a real watch guy, favoring exactly the kinds of watches you'd expect. He's a super fun, humble guy, and someone we could listen to for hours. In this episode, we talk heritage, learning your craft, and how to make watches an integral part of your wardrobe. Enjoy.
