My guest this week is Angelo Urrutia, formerly of Engineered Garments and Nepenthes, as he launches his own brand, 4S Designs. Angelo and I discuss growing up in New York, finding manufacturers in Italy, getting inspired by classic American sportswear, and designing the first season of his new line.NOTES(01:27) 4S Designs(04:27) Camouflage // Manhattan Catalogue magazine(08:46) Italian Fabric Mills: Albini, Zenga, Loro Piana(13:25) Ventile fabric(18:52) RRL // DKNY Tech(19:58) Comme Des Garcons Shirt(20:16) Paragon // Goldwin(21:38) Trezeta Italian Climbing Boots // Vasque(22:52) Joining Engineered Garments(23:47) Nepenthes & Todd Killian(29:35) Darbury Stenderu(30:18) Russell Moccasin(33:29) Keizo Shimizu(35:42) John Bartlett // Cross Colors // JP Tods(36:41) Leaving Engineered Garments(40:34) Gore wear(47:51) Chanel**This episode is sponsored by Away Travel -- Save $20 off your purchase with promo code BLAMO**Want even more Blamo? join the BlamFam and get access to additional interviews, a community slack, special events, and more!
