It’s said that necessity is the mother invention. So it was in 2007 when Kent Wang, frustrated with the lack of hand-sewn pocket squares in brick-and-mortar stores, started an online haberdashery. His business of two employees has since thrived thanks to its online-only model, which allows the company to focus not on maintaining a storefront but on producing quality menswear. Among the tenets of the Kent Wang philosophy are honesty, simplicity, straightforward pricing, and low margins. The company also shuns visible branding. Is it any wonder he’s earned nods from some of America’s biggest men’s style magazines?
