Music City doesn’t just have its own sounds. Like New York, Tokyo, and Paris, it has its own aesthetic, too. So, as we were opening our first store in Nashville, it felt right to ask local tastemakers how they’d style our clothes, what makes their hometown unique and what their secret spots are for a quick recharge.

Raised in Paducah, Kentucky, Caldwell was a singer-songwriter working at the intersection of soul and folk music until a chance conversation with a friend who was in need of some wardrobe guidance led Bentley to realizing there was a big opportunity helping Nashville’s businessmen up their sartorial games.

What’s a good rule of thumb for making it in Nashville?

Be good at what you do, and be good to the people you do it for. Your reputation is your biggest currency here.

What’s your “getting dressed for a big night out” music?

Anything that’s got a good groove, including old school and funk. I love Dua Lipa, Lucky Daye, Gary Clarke Jr., Cory Wong, Jean Batiste and Donald Glover’s last album.
