Mismatch Theory

Oxford, England

What we love: mismatched red and blue socks, needlepoint Georgetown rowing belt hand-sewn by girlfriend, velvet Prince Albert slippers emblazoned with personal crest, cutaway collar oxford cloth shirt, impeccable fit.

Fred met Jack a little over a year ago when he approached Fred to collaborate on a unique photography project. They've traveled the back roads of New England together, crashed (questionable) couches in Wisconsin together, wandered The Netherlands together, and drank in the oldest of English pubs together...and he's never not been in mismatched red and blue socks. It's his thing. We like that. Fred's thing is tort shell glasses—he's been in some variation of them for more than 15 years now. When you find your thing, stick with it.
