When I visit Winn Perry, I not only try to drop as much dough as I possibly can on quality garb; I also take notes on what’s being stocked. Jordan at Winn Perry has the best eye for menswear in Portland—no doubt. The other day while browsin’ the store, I noticed a new brand in the Perry lineup. The Hentsch Man shirts were basically staring at me and sayin’, “I’m a fine lookin’ quality trim shirt. Why don’t you try me on, or hell, take me home, Rob?” Well, the temptation, the voices in my head, my empty wallet and many things were happenin’ during that moment. I’m not sure how, but I kept my sang froid.

Not to frighten the delicate Hentsch Man garments, I crept slowly towards them and observed the attention to detail and hand of their material. What I saw and felt was good. I decided to keep the wallet closed, and headed home to do a little more research on the brand. 

The Hentsch Man is London-based and they started from the realization that the menswear market needed another brand that produced basic staples e.g. a white button down shirt. So the childhood team of friends-cum-partners, Alexia Hentsch and Max von Hurter, put on their marketing caps and picked up their 96 pack of crayons and got to work. After what I’m sure were a few long months of tweaking and hair pulling, the team finally came up with a white shirt that they liked. And today they’re stocking a full kit that’s selling at Opening Ceremony. Hoorah!

I believe the following coat was inspired by the movie Fantastic Mr. Fox.
