about Son and Heir Apparel

It's all pretty simple… when you have a passion for both sports history and vintage clothing… and when you feel that the majority of existing clothing lines trying to combine those two things is either way over-priced or horribly goofy… you start your own line of clothing.

And thus... Son and Heir Apparel.



From the humble Fall 2006 launch throughout future expansion, Son and Heir Apparel aims to be a line of vintage-inspired sports fanwear that manages to balance out not only a reverence for the past with modern wearability, but high-quality original design with an affordable price.

But wait, that's not all... it also aims to still provide the same rare, high-quality, authentic vintage wear that I've been collecting and selling for over 10 years.

As for the name... on a personal level Son and Heir honors my own father, who passed away in the fall of 2005. And in a self-referential way, it also connects to my first business name, misterShankly -- both referencing the brilliant British band The Smiths.
