“We wanted to do something that still felt very us but in an accessible and not too serious way – refined, approachable and all-American,” Ernest Sabine, founder of Ernest Alexander, told us at the GQxGap launch event in New York City.

You can expect to find menswear with a mix of rock-and-roll meets Saville Row from NYC based Bespoken and laid back surf-inspired gear from California label Aviator Nation.  Ernest Alexander will showcase his rugged yet refined handcrafted goods, while Baldwin delivers modern denim wear from the heart of Kansas City.

Standout pieces include the Bespoken suede baseball jacket and the Aviator Nation reversible puffer vest.  Plus, you won’t want to miss out on any of the Ernest Alexander bags.
