EMPHASIS
Complementary and functional garments. Complimenting someone's personal features, as well as their lifestyle, is my biggest goal. I strive to perfect this collaboration - and to achieve an aesthetically pleasing garment for each of my clients.
PREFERENCES
Simplicity. People have complicated enough lives as it is - I strive to eliminate this stress. Sticking to staples and neutralizing investment pieces is the best answer to a "dynamic wardrobe." However, I'm not opposed to some flair here and there!
RECREATION
Mixing and matching new statement pieces with your essential go-to's is key. Timeless recreation, to me, is finding this equilibrium.

Practicality. I feel most accomplished when my client creates something with significant meaning and purpose. Whether it is for his everyday wardrobe or a momentous life event, we will work in tandem to create garments that are practical, appropriate, and functional for any situation.
PREFERENCES
Simplicity. Our process is the most fun when the small, subtle details combine to produce a garment that has character similar to that of its owner; a unique button, contrasting highlight thread, or colorful lining can be the finishing detail you never knew you needed.
RECREATION
When I'm not in the showroom, you can find me partaking in Dallas's ever changing dining scene. A requirement to begin an appointment with me is to tell me either your favorite go-to casual spot, or indulgent locale for a night of celebration. Be prepared for a few suggestions of my own as well!

Overall fit. When something truly fits your body you are bound to feel confident and comfortable throughout the day, no matter the occasion. A timeless, versatile and classic wardrobe will create ease in getting dressed each morning.
PREFERENCES
Customizations. Keep it subtle but make it your own; I love when my clients add personal touches to their garments to show off their personality and add a little extra flair. Classic on the outside, funky on the inside!
RECREATION
When it comes to the weekend, why not feel as good as you do throughout the week. Whether you're trying a new restaurant in the Arts District or strolling around Deep Ellum in the Texas heat, a deconstructed blazer over a casual button-down paired with jeans and your favorite boots will have you feeling like one of the best dressed in Dallas.

Attention to Detail. At Knot Standard we have to ability to produce a truly one of a kind garment, exquisite both in construction and outward appearance. Together we can create something truly beautiful on the inside and out.
PREFERENCES
I love an unexpected flourish. There's nothing like a contrast button hole, playful pattern mixing or a colorful pocket square to elevate even the most conservative of styles.
RECREATION
Texas' own ZZ Top put it best; "Silk suit, black tie, [you] don't need a reason why. They come runnin' just as fast as they can, because every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man."

Designing every aspect of your apparel allows you put love and personality into your wardrobe. Together we will create something exclusive, classic, and contemporary.
RECREATION
Peter Morrissey said it best: "Dress like you're embracing life, not hiding from it!"
Besides working with my clients, there is nothing else I'd rather do than dress up to enjoy the culinary delicacies and interesting people of Dallas. Rocking a delicate linen shirt with a deconstructed blazer is the perfect way of enjoying the weekend in style.

Fit is first and foremost: it is what will make or break any outfit. After fit is practicality and personality! It's so important to dress for your environment, but still stay true to who you are. I want to help you express that in the most flattering and appropriate way for wherever your life takes you!
PREFERENCES
Contrast and balance - like most things in life, dressing should be all about contrast and balance. I like to contrast clean and timeless staple garments with settle hints of playfulness, perhaps from a boldly printed pocket square or some brightly colored socks.
RECREATION
I'm a big fan of the Effortless Chic look for weekends, especially for those more relaxed social environments. Pair some relaxed linen trousers with a deconstructed blazer, a nicely fitted T-shirt and some casual leather loafers and you are good to go anywhere your weekend takes you!
