Step inside the new shop from New York City\u2013based menswear designer Todd Snyder<\/a>, and you\u2019ll be greeted by a few temptations that, strictly speaking, are not from his namesake clothing line. First, there\u2019s a trove of covetable vintage finds\u2014bolo ties, Rolexes, cuffs\u2014curated by the esteemed antique watch and jewelry merchant Foundwell. Next to that is a massive sound system, with classic LPs by Buddy Rich and the Supremes\u00a0alongside local nods like the Blaze soundtrack, from the film about the revered songwriter. Above that is the bar, including scotch and four varieties of Clase Azul tequila, ready to be served in a series of glasses and decanters that Snyder created in partnership with CB2 for a line that launched earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Each detail was chosen as a way of customizing the shop for Austin, a city Snyder has been visiting for more than 15 years, thanks in part to wholesaling through local favorites like Stag and ByGeorge. GQ once called him the most influential menswear designer of his generation, Esquire recently proclaimed him the new Ralph Lauren, and he\u2019s had a fingerprint on the industry in small ways for a long time. During the pandemic, Snyder decided it was time to open up shop in a more official capacity, but finding the right location took five years, plus a year of construction. But within Music Lane on South Congress, he has found it.<\/p>\n

The shop is outfitted with furniture from that CB2 line, as well as custom tables and benches by LA-based furniture designer Stephen Kenn. There are Austin-inspired touches as well: namely, boots from Tecovas, and a one-off version of his bestselling trucker-style Dylan jacket that can only be found here. Called the Midnight Cowboy, it\u2019s a suede number in that particular shade of dark blue, finished with a leather collar. The store hasn\u2019t been open long, but the Dylan, along with the designer\u2019s esteemed tailoring and Japanese denim, have already proved popular with Austinites.<\/p>\n

Joining the Dallas outpost as his first two in Texas, the store represents a return of sorts for the designer, who built his reputation as senior vice president of menswear at J.Crew in the 2000s, where he worked alongside Jenna Lyons to build the brand\u2019s fashion-forward reputation, introducing third-party offerings like Red Wings and opening the now-iconic Tribeca Liquor Store location (now a Todd Snyder property). As an undergrad at Iowa State, he entered a design competition at the Dallas Clothing Mart, driving down from his native Midwest, and the state\u2019s size and sense of style left a lifelong impression. \u201cI was always in awe of it,\u201d he says now, dressed in a dark double-breasted jacket over a T-shirt. \u201cThere\u2019s such an amazing level of taste here that, for me, being part of that is just really humbling. It\u2019s a bit of a dream come true.\u201d<\/p>\n

Todd Snyder is open seven days a week at 1011 S. Congress Ave., Ste 145.<\/p>\n
