“I Make Clothes”: Scott Sternberg of Band of Outsiders

August 12, 2010HBTVby Staff110 Views

For the past seven years, Scott Sternberg’s Band of Outsiders has come to represent one of America’s best contemporary men’s labels. The brand has effectively maintained preppy cues to the past all while continuing on a considered modern aesthetic. In this episode of Hypebeast TV, we meet candidly in Sternberg’s office to gain an insight into his personality and brand.

    I really like Band of Outsiders style, and we share the same decade of fashion love, the 1960′s.

    awesome short.

    the only thing pompous is Apple and and its unwillingness to provide compatability to specific video formats; it only causes fustration to its users

    I don’t see how “I make clothes” is a “pompous ass thing to say”
    If anything its modest. Scott seems like a really genuine guy and Band of Outsiders puts out great lines.

    Love the shirts but can’t wear them because I’ve got a 44 inch chest. I guess they didn’t have guys with 44 inch chests back in the 60′s and 70′s, eh Scott?

    I’m with Mr. Frank concerning the iPhone/iPad compatibility. I’m typing this on an iPad as I was very eager to see this. Unbeknownst to me (didn’t read the excerpt – who really does when they see a header that excites them?), it was an unsupported format. Same thing happens at my job when I’m secretly on my phone trolling around online.
