There is a lot in a name. Some names you hear, and you know all you need to know about the person or the brand. Urbane & Gallant has a name that screams all you need to know about the clothing you’re about to get. To be urbane is the mark of a gentleman, a man who is courteous and sophisticated. A man who is gallant exudes chivalry and bravery. The two sentiments together give the image of the kind of man we should all want to be. Urbane & Gallant is revamping with the talents of Project Runway Season 3 champion, Jeffrey Sebelia, with these ideas specifically in mind. “We create clothing for men who desire more than just style—they seek meaning, says Sebelia. “Masculinity combines strength, care, and the desire to elevate others. At Urbane & Gallant, every piece is a testament to these ideals.”

Urbane & Gallant doesn’t just offer gentlemanly attire; it also addresses critical global issues, particularly human trafficking. It assists in addressing the latter by partnering with organizations like Agape International Missions (AIM). The brand ensures that each piece has a statement of purpose and is designed with sustainability and ethical practices in mind.

“Urbane & Gallant is more than a fashion brand—it’s a movement,” says Andrew Park, CEO of Urbane & Gallant. “Our mission is to design timeless, luxurious pieces that resonate with the modern man while redefining what it means to be truly responsible. Luxury isn’t just about what you wear; it’s about how you impact others and the world we live in.”

Stop playing it safe: The confident guy’s guide to bold shoes

Let brand president, Mike Kelly, teach you how to wear unique shoes

TAFT Floral dress shoes close up

Sometimes men's clothes can get boring. They can get stale. Walk into any men's clothing store and you could drown in a sea of blue. We sometimes settle into our blues and grays and have difficulty expressing ourselves through our appearance. Maybe it is complacency. Perhaps we lose our confidence. Whatever it is, finding a way to stand out from the men who tend to fade into the background is a skill every guy needs to learn by the time they are in their mid-30s. This is when we are told to sit down and be quiet. But, there are ways to stand up and be seen, speak up and be heard, without any movement or any words. TAFT is a company that specializes in men's shoes and how to make them your statement piece. They can send a message before you even introduce yourself to someone new. I was able to sit down with TAFT Brand President, Mike Kelly, to get an idea of how to wear shoes as a statement instead of a function.

"Let’s be real—guys like getting compliments just as much as anyone else," Kelly says. "TAFT designs shoes that get noticed, not because they’re loud for the sake of it, but because they’re different in all the right ways. It’s about helping men feel confident, express themselves, and bring a little personality to the everyday."

Currently, Urban Jürgensen is getting rave reviews for blending centuries of craftsmanship with modern innovation — proving that true luxury is timeless.
