110 - Angelo Urrutia and the future of American Design

My guest this week is Angelo Urrutia, formerly of Engineered Garments and Nepenthes, as he launches his own brand, 4S Designs. 

Angelo and I discuss growing up in New York, finding manufacturers in Italy, getting inspired by classic American sportswear, and designing the first season of his new line.
