CARTER YOUNG

👔🌶 Kaczián Tie Shop, 👹🔥📜 Dante’s Inferno, 🤡🎤🥤🔪 Insane Clown Posse, and more.

Carter Young is a clothing brand created by London-based designer and creative director Carter Altman. Originally from Detroit, Carter’s line (which is quickly becoming my go-to) is known for its high-end midwestern Americana direction featuring perfect suits, swaggy western business shirts, impeccable basics like this scrimmage tee, and lots of denim. Over the last few year Carter Young has dressed some of our favorite Cool Dudes, such as Paul Mescal, Ethan Hawke, and Jake Gyllenhaal. However, perhaps most importantly, Carter is also cooking up a custom suit for ya boy ahead of Jennie and I's wedding in Maine next Summer. You can find all their designs and inventory here. Lucky for us, Carter’s here to tell us what he’s been into.

Kaczián Tie Shop
There's this little tie shop in Budapest that sells hand-made ties in all sorts of silk patterns. It's a true old world experience. Once you enter, you’re shown ties buried away in white boxes perched on wooden shelves. It's a kind of product and experience you can’t find so much anymore.

Dante’s Inferno
I’ve always had a soft spot for demonology and the occult but it wasn’t until college, when I took a class with an extremely passionate Italian professor, that I read the Divine Comedy in depth. It’s incredible how this archaic text has so many parallels and parables that relate to modern life. There's a lot of lessons behind the allegories.

Insane Clown Posse
I grew up with a lot of people who went on to become Juggalos or Juggelettes. I’m not a fan of ICP’s music as much as I'm a fan of the whole culture of its fandom. It’s rare these days that there is a true, regionally-specific subculture. Actually, I didn’t realize it was so insular until I moved out of the midwest. The farther I got from home, the more time I'd spend at parties explaining the gathering and why ICP fans paint their faces. Oh, and what Faygo is.

Exotic Skin Boots
There's not too much to say here. I myself am not an especially flashy dresser, but I have a soft spot for python and alligator. I think maybe because it can be so tacky that if it is done well, it's effortlessly cool. A pair of jeans, a white shirt, and some python critter-crunchers. Doesn’t really get cooler.

Falafel and Shawarma Camberwell
This place is unreasonably good. It's an unassuming, counter service shop right at the start of Camberwell Church Street. From the outside, you’d be forgiven for not noticing its greatness. But they truly don’t need any gimmicks. Not only is it consistently amazing, it's reasonably priced. They also do fresh pressed juices — I like the carrot ginger.

Having Muses
It's people you look up to, or are inspired by, who can be a litmus test for good taste. Most importantly, there’s my girlfriend, Madi. Everything she does is cool, and she doesn’t have a problem telling me if what I'm doing isn't (which is super helpful). Otherwise, Keanu Reeves, Corrine Day, Paul Newman and Mr. Armani are perennial muses.
