since, she has demonstrated her forte in both costume and
fashion design.
Bryant's pandemic plans for a lakeside sojourn at home in
Tennessee were interrupted when she learned about Inherent
Clothier from Linda Kearns, her branding representative at
Matchbook Company. As luck would have it, Taylor Draper is
a huge Mad Men fan, and they clicked. Their vintage-inspired,
mix-and-match line includes formalwear, suits, sport coats,
shirts, belts, and shoes, in masculine, earthy colors that inspire
confidence. In a subtle nod to serenity and wellness, the suit
linings are custom-printed landscapes of mountains and water.
The partners are on the same page every step of the way,
agreeing that quality of construction and fit is everything.
Although the Bryant Draper line is a sized collection, Inherent
Clothier is a bespoke company, insuring perfect fit via Zoom
consultation.
"Mental health and awareness is an ongoing issue in our
society, and bringing these issues to light is crucial, particu-
larly in today's difficult time," Bryant says. Their hope is that
the accessible luxury of Bryant Draper will help men lead
healthier lives.
