Wilke Rodriguez Men's Luxury Button Down L/S Shirt

AMAZING SHIRT! The Cuban-born Rodriguez, who lives in New York--and is the creative director and CEO of his design house--is a frequent visitor to Los Angeles. He has a year-old boutique at Fred Segal in Santa Monica, and his from-the-street-to-around-the-world-inspired creations are on racks at just about every major department store and hip indie shop. Amazing Fabric Wilke Rodriguez was a men's fashion company created by Terry Wilke and Eddie Rodriguez. It was started in 1987, first showing the collection out of Terry's Upper West Side apartment in New York City. Wilke died in 1992 at age 36. By then the company had grown to over $10 million in sales. Amazing Fabric For 11 years, the debonair 43-year-old designer--along with business partner Terry Wilke, who died from complications of AIDS in 1992--has been creating clothes for the urban man that are modern, affordable, and, yes, in the comfort zone. Comfort clothes--like comfort food--are what guys want and what Rodriguez delivers in his fall line of chic, simple velvet blazers, merino wool turtlenecks, and Sinatra bomber jackets. His upcoming spring collection features smooth, relaxed looks such as a deconstructed jacket and black linen and Lycra suit.
