Cruz thought up the capsule collection after returning from a recent “inspiration tour” of Japan (you know, as one does).

“I have been a huge fan of 3×1 ‘s program for a long time, and the concept of bespoke denim intrigued me,” says Cruz. “Their understanding of imported denim from around the world and a focus on fit was what drew me to the brand. My friend introduced me to Scott and we clicked immediately. Our aesthetics aligned in fluid ways and I knew this was the right brand to partner with for my first creative collab.”

The result is a 5-piece denim collection, including a classic shirt jacket, long sleep asymmetrical ombre shirt, trousers with coated denim tuxedo stripe, ripped jeans, and a military coat.

“Designing this collection gave me an opportunity to create pieces I have always wanted to wear, but could never find. For both buying and designing I believe in pieces that are classic, and wearable over and over again. I purchase, and want to bring to market, pieces men want to live in on a daily basis.”

The 3×1 by Victor Cruz collection is now available exclusively on Farfetch, through the site’s boutique partner the Webster Miami. Prices range from $325 for the jeans to $1,325 for the coat.

There is just something undeniably cool about a leather jacket. When I was growing up, I always thought there was nothing cooler than wearing a leather jacket, driving a Mustang with the window down, and blasting Jon Bon Jovi loud enough to anger every older person in the vicinity. Of course, I never could get my hands on a Mustang. Still, I absolutely wouldn't miss any opportunity to don a leather jacket and make it look a fraction as cool as James Dean, Indiana Jones, or any of the slews of Hollywood superstars I've watched over the years.

There's one aspect of owning a leather jacket that's essential to know: Learning how to clean a leather jacket will keep your jacket looking great long enough for your grandchildren to wear it as well. Maybe they will endeavor to make the leather jacket look as cool as we did. The only way to know is to take care of it, so we sat down with Heidi Allen, VP of Marketing for Nikwax, a Seattle-based outdoor company adept at ensuring your gear never loses its effectiveness.
