Christian from ENGLISH LAUNDRY by Christopher Wicks


Christian Wicks is the President of ENGLISH LAUNDRY by Christopher Wicks, a slick LA Men's line with a hint of the Manchester roots of the family. (Look for the NEW Scott Weiland Collection for some smart shirt-tie combos) We walked around their huge rock-influenced facilities in Downtown LA where they do all the packaging and catalogue shooting in house. Christian is the brains behind the large apparel and accessories line and still remains stylish and cool with heart. He told us that they donate large amounts of clothing for our wounded soldiers which we think is very very cool and right up our alley. We are happy to make Christian Wicks and LA based ENGLISH LAUNDRY part of the SOMW family.

This is what Scott Weiland said about his new line in April's Issue of Details Magazine.
"There's a sense of history and classiness there. It's very much based in the late-sixties, early-seventies Savile Row style. All of the cloth is vintage from that period. I'm obsessed with fabric. I prefer a three-piece suit myself. Very sixties rock and roll. But they're not too quirky. Businessmen could wear them."
