Worn Out Wednesday – Winston Fisher

By Cator Sparks Published December 21, 2019

Today we speak to Winston Fisher, of Fisher Brothers Realty and Drill Fitness.

I was born and raised in New York City. I have always had two passions – real estate and being active.

I pursued my passion for real estate by joining my family business, Fisher Brothers. As to my other passion, over the years I have gone on numerous adventure trips, hiked Mt. Kilimanjaro and Machu Picchu, did mountain bike tours in Utah and California, signed-up for various endurance races and triathlons.

In June 2014, I was part of an eight man team participating in RAAM (Race Across America). We were Team Intrepid Fallen Heroes, riding not just to accomplish an incredibly challenging physical feat, but to support wounded US troops. We accomplished our goal of completing the race in just 6 days! We dedicated our race to support Iraq and Afghanistan veterans suffering the terrible effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI). In June 2015, I will be doing RAAM again, but this time Team Intrepid Fallen Heroes will be a four person team.

I started Drill, because I wanted to bring my passion and intensity for working out to a studio. I believe there is a market for something that is cool, clean, modern, fun and hard. Drill reflects my love of pushing yourself to the extreme in a teamwork environment.

As for my personal style:

Jeans: Ron Herman

Shirts: John Varvatos and Rag & Bone

Pants: Zegna

Suits: Zegna

Shoes: Zegna and Fiorentini Baker

Accessories: Todd’s bracelet and an Evolution necklace my girlfriend gave me.

Outerwear: Patagonia & John Varvatos

Favorite Cologne: Hate it. I just go with the fresh scent left after a shower.

Your favorite App: Postmates

Favorite piece of technology: Wahoo Kickr

Next tech purchase: maybe Curved 3D TV

Shearling returns to men’s fashion with a rugged, refined edge

Designers are reinventing pelts with sustainable and high-end twists

Michael Kors Shearling Coat

After years of languishing on the sidelines and disappearing entirely from runways, fur (and more specifically shearling) has gained prominence yet again at many fashion houses as designers showcase sustainable fur trends in their latest lines for fall and winter. But with a growing popularity, distinction matters to understand the nuances between fur and shearling.

While both are ideal for the winter months, shearling (tanned sheepskin with wool) offers a layered look that can be found on bomber jackets or as the lining in slippers. The ethical difference between fur and shearling is that sheep are farmed only for food, not for their skin. Shearling is one kind of fur. On one side, it is made of suede, and on the other side, it is made of fur that has been trimmed. The beauty of design lies in each brand making the decision on how to showcase the material for their audience, resulting in a singular aesthetic that can rewrite the rules of innovation. The following are some noted fashion houses that have offered a fresh take in recent collections that don’t compromise style.
