Discover Blackstock & Weber, the Brand Redefining Classic Style

If you haven’t heard of Blackstock & Weber yet, it’s time to get familiar. Founded by Chris Echevarria, this New York-based brand is shaking up the world of men’s footwear with its modern take on a classic staple: the loafer. Each pair is carefully crafted with a mix of traditional techniques and contemporary design, making them stand out in a sea of ordinary shoes.

Among their standout pieces is the Ellis Penny Loafer in Snuff Suede, a sleek, versatile option perfect for transitioning between work and weekend. Its soft, high-quality suede adds a touch of understated sophistication to any look. For those looking to make more of a statement, the Clásico Belgian Loafer in Loden Suede offers a bold, modern twist on a timeless silhouette. And if you're in the market for something truly luxurious, the Reuben Tassel Loafer in Cognac Leather combines rich leather with impeccable design, creating a shoe that’s as striking as it is elegant.

The brand’s collab with 3sixteen brings together the craftsmanship and design philosophies of both brands, merging 3sixteen's expertise in denim with Blackstock & Weber's bold approach to menswear.

The centerpiece of this collaboration is a chore coat and jeans set, created from 3sixteen's 14oz 100xk indigo Kibata denim, woven by Kuroki Mills in Japan. This special denim is crafted on vintage Toyoda shuttle looms, giving it a textured and substantial feel. What makes this collaboration truly special is the custom wash, which replicates the faded, worn-in look of a pair of raw denim that Blackstock & Weber founder Chris Echevarria has been wearing since college. The wash delivers a yellowish-brown tint that mimics years of wear, creating a lived-in aesthetic that typically takes years to achieve.

The denim is cut into 3sixteen's Classic Tapered pattern, known for its modern fit, and is finished with custom details like YKK hardware and a leather patch made from CF Stead suede—the same material used for Blackstock & Weber’s collaborative loafers. This collection is more than just clothing; it’s a statement about timeless style and the beauty of well-worn pieces that tell a story over time. Whether you're keeping the jeans long or cutting them into shorts, the message is clear: wear them hard and make them your own.

New York Fashion Week review

This week New York Fashion Week S/S 2025 delivered a diverse range of menswear collections that blended American fashion staples with global inspirations. Kicking off the week, Pieter Mulier’s Alaïa collection at the Guggenheim Museum drew on American sportswear, referencing iconic figures like Claire McCardell and Halston. The collection highlighted fluid, clean lines, showing a modern twist on classic designs. Meanwhile, COS returned to New York with a sleek, minimalist collection at Brooklyn’s Navy Yard, featuring both refined staples like voluminous trousers and unexpected pieces, such as a cow-print shearling parka.

Willy Chavarria made a bold statement with his “América” collection, which celebrated immigrant workers and their contributions to the country. His oversized silhouettes and workwear-inspired pieces reflected the social and political climate, coinciding with the upcoming U.S. presidential election. Chavarria's designs stood out for their attention to real-life narratives, shining a light on the underrepresented workers who help build America.

Michael Kors, while staying within his signature elegant style, brought a European influence to his collection. Focusing on Italian craftsmanship, Kors offered tailored, timeless looks, inspired by artisans with whom he’s collaborated for over three decades. This collection featured 1950s silhouettes and detailed handwork that balanced luxury with wearability.

Off-White, under creative director Ib Kamara, took the stage at Brooklyn Bridge Park with a collection titled “Duty Free.” Kamara combined sleek American sportswear with elements of African design, drawing from his own heritage. The result was a culturally rich collection that felt deeply personal yet resonated globally. Other key shows included Coach, Tommy Hilfiger, and emerging designers like Zankov and Diotima, all of whom contributed to a dynamic season that emphasized both innovation and tradition.

New York Fashion Week S/S 2025 marked the perfect start to fashion month, with designers pushing boundaries while honoring timeless fashion staples. The mix of styles and influences showcased the evolving landscape of menswear, combining functionality, cultural commentary, and creativity.
