Congratulations to Scott Sternberg and Band of Outsiders on taking home an award last week for Emerging Talent in Men's Wear from the Council of Fashion Designers of America.

Awards are given for a full year's work, rather than a specific season or collection. Shown above, a signature look from Band of Outsiders: double breasted, heather grey tweed suit, racoon fur trapper hat, Band of Outsiders for Sperry Top-Sider loafers.

The company has been fronting the return of American tailored trends, but with slimmed out proportions. Some production and the made to measure program are even with master tailor Martin Greenfield, whose known for his work with Brooks Brothers. In fact, wouldn't Sternberg be the perfect designer to take on Black Fleece after Browne?
