Q: Why are you interested in the GOLDWIN brand?
A:I first became interested in Goldwyn after purchasing many of their "The North Face Purple Label" products for personal use.
Q: Why did you choose "navy" as the limited edition color?
A: Rather than navy , I particularly like shades of blue.
Q: What do you think about this wear? (design, function, comfort, etc.)
A: It is very lightweight , strong and durable. It is simple in design and very functional.
Q: How would Steven wear this outfit?
A: I like the fact that it goes well with both formal styles as well as casual styles with jeans and shirts by Steven Alan.
Q: What kind of wearers would you like to match the scene?
A: I like to visit country towns, and there are many farmers' markets there, and it is just right for when I go to such places. I often wear it to work as well.
Concise and to-the-point comments seem to be a direct result of Stephen Allan's minimalist attitude. Ahead of the arrival of full-blown cold weather, why not choose daily wear with serious functionality?
