My guest this week is Angelo Urrutia, formerly of Engineered Garments and Nepenthes, as he launches his own brand, 4S Designs. 

Angelo and I discuss growing up in New York, finding manufacturers in Italy, getting inspired by classic American sportswear, and designing the first season of his new line.
