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.

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. Lucky jeans are made for the free thinker, the artist, and the dreamer.  Their inspiration doesn’t just come from the rugged work ware of denim pioneers, but from the free spirit and laid back lifestyle of their southern California roots.   Inspiration is found from the Big Sur to the old school tattoo parlors of Venice and the beautiful beaches of Malibu.  They reference art and photography, old and new, to create truly unique pieces that you’ll wear over and over again.
