“My dad is a self-employed car parts supplier. Most of the time, he has to go to meetings and at the same time load cargo shipments over at his industrial office. Most days, I will find him dressing in straight denim jeans, a T-shirt and boots with a roughed-out glove tucked behind his pocket. This style is his very version of workwear, and to me, it is a style of a hardworking man. To this day, I’m heavily inspired by his brand of workwear.”
