There was a time when men were dapper, dressing well from head to toe even during the most casual occasions. And, it’s been the necktie, despite it’s ever-changing styles and impracticality, that remains an essential part of a man's dress code. A tie unites every part of a man's outfit. It gives instant respectability. It’s the ultimate symbol of individuality. North by South is a brand born from a desire to share this ideal of days gone by with a younger generation. To create apparel that matches their lifestyle and allows for opportunities to express their personal style.

Matt was born in Greensboro, North Carolina, and raised in the style and tradition of the Old South. But with family ties to Boston and a college career at Georgetown University in Washington DC, Matt became inspired to blend the laid-back luxury of the South with the cutting-edge class of the North.
