Iowa native Todd Snyder's eponymous line pulls inspiration from Savile Row craftsmanship, military tailoring, and a distinct New York sensibility which has garnered wide critical and commercial praise in the US. This success is a humbling reaffirmation of Snyder’s roots. In Dutch, his surname means “one who makes outer garments” and while studying textile and clothing design at Iowa State University, Snyder learned the art of cutting and sewing at the Des Moines haberdashery Badowers. At the helm of his own brand, Snyder still strives to deliver on the rubric set forth by his Badowers mentor: “A perfectly fitted suit makes the man.”
