Scott Sternberg, the founder and longtime designer of Band of Outsiders, is making his long-awaited return to the world of menswear. In a video posted online Tuesday, he announced the launch of Entireworld, a new line of familiarly off-kilter Sternberg basics. Which would be joyful news on its own, were it not followed up with this even better morsel: Entireworld's first drop releases on April 2. That's right: You'll be able to buy new gear from the designer of an iconic American brand next Monday.

We last heard from Sternberg back in June of 2015, when he posted a goodbye message to the Band of Outsiders Instagram account. The news that Band, which Sternberg had started in 2004 as a small line of ties and shrunken dress shirts, would be closing shocked the fashion world; over that decade, he'd grown it into an influential, seemingly successful, and infectiously fun brand. And while Band changed hands (it still exists, oddly enough), Sternberg has largely been silent since. His voice has been missed. As the menswear pendulum began its long, inexorable swing toward all streetwear, all the time, Sternberg's vision—of a world where guys could dress up but have fun with it, or where "’70s influence" meant a skinny tie, not aggressive pearl-based embroidery—felt all the more essential.

In the video, he notes that the market is saturated and pokes fun at the end of his time with Band. But over the course of the two-and-a-half-minute clip (cut with footage from films, famous ads, and images of iconic brands—along with his beloved pup Zod), he reminds us of what made his work so compelling: a love of color, of the well-placed cinematic reference, and of the joy that finding the right oxford shirt can bring. Best of all? "I started thinking about what it would be like to make something more democratic this time, without compromising anything about the design or the quality," he says. And that's not just a good line: Entireworld's goods won't cost the same pretty penny as Band of Outsiders', with oxfords retailing for $95, T-shirts starting at $30, and socks and underwear for $20 and under. (By comparison, a classic Band oxford would run over $200.) And about those clothes: Over the course of three or four weeks, Entireworld will release 50 distinct men's products, all of which fit squarely into Sternberg's colorful, playful, extremely well-fitting world. Everything goes on sale Monday, April 2. We're glad to have you back, Scott.
