Celebrities are always on the cusp of grabbing clothing lines and sponsorships. The ones with the highest level of success are the ones that reflect the person’s true philosophies. Tom Luthi spent more than two decades becoming a legend in the motorcycle racing world, the sixth youngest World Champion to ever ride. So when the idea to create a clothing line built on precision and timeless style came up, Hockerty was more than willing to team up and bring a line to market that they could both stand behind. The result is a clothing line focused on timeless elegance, superior function, and a silent luxury free of pretentiousness and perfectly tailored to the lifestyle of precision to which he is accustomed.

The three creators of Hockerty built their entire brand on the mission to provide custom-made clothing to their customers’ exact measurements, all with the goal of allowing them to promote their true selves. With that in mind, they are the perfect fit for a man who has spent his entire life living on the success provided by exactitude. With the similarity of focus on specific specifications, Tom Luthi comments on the opportunity. “Wearing Hockerty blends elegance with racing spirit perfectly. I’m thrilled with how it reflects my style and grateful for the collaboration!”

We talk a lot about the functional fashion of James Bond and how he is perfectly tailored for a lifestyle that combines the essence of timeless style with the ability to move quickly and effectively at a moment’s notice. Of course, finding pieces that will fit into that mold is usually a task all its own as you need to piece outfits together with very specific features. If you are looking for something along those lines, this line is perfectly suited for the dynamic lifestyle usually saved for the British super spy.

The former racing superstar selects pieces focusing on the exact things he runs into whether he is navigating the twists and turns of the race track or navigating the every day life of the modern man. You will find cotton, wool, and linen as the perfect aesthetic to your lifestyle, all while attaining the features every man needs to feel comfortable like elasticity, airiness, and water repellency. The combination of these two finds that ever line between function and fashion. The style of a runway with the movability of a motorcycle legend is all present in the line made possible by one of the leaders in precise tailoring. The precision of a winning race found in the style of a winning look.

There is a new trend hitting the style industry that a surprising amount of young people are driving. While the war between Gen Z and Baby Boomers rages on in social issue and economic discussions, a bridge is being built with their clothing. Grandpa core is beginning to land with the youngest group entering the work world as they adopt pleated pants, suspenders, double-breasted jackets, and loafers. While they may rage against the elites online, Gen Z is adopting the old money aesthetic in an attempt to take it for themselves and change the narrative.

Old money style screams class, sophistication, and luxury. While trends may be full of pieces that adhere to the newest looks that go in and out of style, the old-money look sticks to classic pieces that never age out. It invests in basic pieces that may seem boring and plain but combine together to elevate every ensemble to the likes of JFK, Jay Gatsby, and countless others who defined our style in the 20th Century.
