Bread and Boxer
One early morning in 2008, two friends woke up in a hotel on the other side of the Atlantic. Their baggage had been lost. Although this morning had not started out very well, it turned out to be the morning Bread and Boxers was born. Bread and Boxers started out as an extension of the mini bar; a life saver for travelers. After a successful launch of underwear in hotel rooms, guests started to ask where they could find their new favorite underwear in stores closer to them. In the spring of 2011, Bread and Boxers extended their offerings on a retail level with everyday basics for men, and are available in select stores in Europe. When we discovered the understated extreme quality and comfort of their wares, we knew that we needed to carry this brand at The Garage Custom Shop.

Cockpit USA
Cockpit
USA brand is built on the firm foundation of an affinity for leather, aviation,
and an all-American heritage. It was
in the early seventies when founder, Jeff Clymann, was taking a flight in a
WWII airplane while wearing his father’s Army Air Corps jacket. He found himself bombarded by people
wanting to know where they could get a jacket like that one. Founded in 1975, Cockpit has had a
vibrant history. They are
currently a contractor to the United States’ government, supplying the military
with various products, such as the current-issue A2 pilot’s jacket. Cockpit is a name synonymous with
authenticity and a strong sense of American legacy. The Cockpit clothing
lifestyle has been adopted by many celebrities, such as Sylvester Stallone,
Arnold Schwartzenegger, Bruce Willis, Nicholas Cage, Steven Spielberg, Steve
McQueen, Tom Selleck, Jerry Seinfeld, Leonard Nimoy, Dan Aykroyd, P-Diddy, Hugh
Jackman, Sharon Stone, Christina Aguilera, President Bush, and most recently,
Cockpit clothing has even been worn by Beyonce!
Edwin Jagger

impeccable grooming with some of the world’s finest shaving
accessories. Founded in 1988,

who designs each piece with a painstaking eye toward detail and the utilization
of top-quality materials. Edwin
Jagger exemplifies traditional English style, combined with state-of-the-art
design and the heritage of centuries-old Sheffield craftsmanship.
Lucky Brand
When
Gene Montesano (63) and Barry Perlman (57) launched Lucky Brand blue jeans in
1989, it was almost unheard of to charge seventy dollars for denim pants. But, they understood fashion and the
zeitgeist. Their jeans were
designed with an irreverent sense of humor that bucked the politically-correct
1990’s, and they appealed to rock-and-roll stars and their audiences. In 1999, they sold the business to Liz
Claiborne, who has kept the brand true to its roots.
