King Brothers Clothiers Embraces Earth Tones Trend in Menswear

In the world of fashion, the trend of earth tones such as greens and complex versions of traditionally "boring" or "traditional" colors is being incorporated in a major way. This shift is welcomed by Kenny and Danny King, the dapper duo behind King Brothers Clothiers, a bespoke clothing company based in Minnesota.

For King Brothers Clothiers, the term "bespoke" signifies the creation of a suit from a unique, original pattern specific to a client's body structure. Unlike many custom clothiers who claim to deliver a bespoke garment but use a made-to-measure process, the Kings' business prides itself on not using a block pattern or stock silhouette.

The founders of King Brothers Clothiers, Danny and Kenny, were mentored by Kingford Bavender, a suit maker, and their business is known for its bespoke process. They find the most inspiration for their style and business when they travel, particularly in New York City.

Aside from their commitment to creating unique suits, the Kings recommend dressing for the body one has, rather than waiting until a "goal weight" is reached. They believe that working with an expert can help one look and feel great in their clothing with the body they currently have.

King Brothers Clothiers started their business in neckwear, with a tie line called the ShelbyKnot Collection. After a couple of years, they shifted their focus from ties to custom clothing. Today, they are known for their vibe reminiscent of a walk through SoHo or the Upper East Side of New York City.

The earth tones trend is versatile and can be worn in various settings. A classic cashmere overcoat, for instance, is a good alternative to wearing a Canada Goose or Moncler jacket with a suit. In Minnesota, the overcoat game is weak, and everyone should have at least one nice coat they can dress up or down.

The Kings have worked with notable figures such as Vikings' head coach Kevin O'Connell, Hafthor Julius Bjornsson, CrossFit's Mat Fraser, and Mr. Olympia Ryan Terry. They are excited about the trend of earth tones in menswear and are confident that their bespoke process will help their clients embrace this change.

However, it's important to note that there is no such thing as an "everything suit", and true versatility comes from having different pieces to wear. The Kings advise their clients to invest in a variety of clothing items to ensure they always look their best.

Despite extensive online searches, there are no relevant results describing who Kenny and Danny King were before founding King Brothers Clothiers. Their journey from neckwear to bespoke clothing is a testament to their passion for fashion and their commitment to providing their clients with the best possible clothing experience.
