Still excited for when we gathered to celebrate the launch of the first edition of The Commonwealth Nashville Field Guide!
What started as an idea became a room full of conversation and connection. Seeing so many people show up, support the featured makers, and spend intentional time together meant a great deal.
Thank you to @loyalstricklin for hosting.
Thank you to @bellemeadebourbon for supplying the beverages for the night.
Thank you to everyone who came, partnered, shared, and believed in the vision for The Commonwealth. This is only the beginning.
The Commonwealth Field Guide was never meant to just be a list of places. The features included throughout it are a big part of what gives the project its perspective. We spent time with Aaron Taylor of Willie Taylor & Co. to talk about craftsmanship, personal style, and building something with staying power.
The story begins with vintage ties — specifically the kinds of shorter, lighter, softly constructed ties that had largely disappeared from the market. What started as collecting eventually turned into creating pieces that felt personal, lived-in, and intentional rather than trend-driven.
There’s a real sense of care behind the brand. Not just in the ties themselves, but in the presentation, the materials, the packaging, and the overall experience of receiving something made thoughtfully.
We are proud to feature makers in Nashville who are creating with depth, perspective, and a strong point of view instead of simply chasing what’s next.
The guide is available now in limited print. Secure your copy to experience this feature and the more. Ph: @danielzbaraka

Thank you to everyone who attended the Nashville Field guide launch! The energy in the space was perfection. The community here is unmatched.
Thank you @loyalstricklin for the perfect backdrop for this event as well.
The good news and the bad news is that we sold out of the printed guides at the event! Will soon take pre-orders for another run of them, so stay tuned here and to your emails if you are subscribed. It will be a very limited run, so make sure you get on the list as soon as possible!
Thanks again, Nashville! Ph: @themarixhbt . Guide cover photo: @danielzbaraka

not only are we sharing the cities’s best, but the guide includes five editorial features that you won’t want to miss. Can you guess what five brands are featured?
Last week I spent the evening hosting @thegoodyvault (and my only other Emanuel/Manny friend!) here in Nashville—talking vintage, menswear, heritage style, and the stories behind great clothing.
Always grateful to create spaces where style, culture, and community intersect.
And check out “The Shop” set up for our conversation! Special shoutout to @neahnwest ✨ ph: @photo.cpr
There’s something special about helping welcome a new men’s luxury brand to Nashville — and then actually stepping into the process yourself.
Prior to hosting the @enzocustom debut here in the city, I started working on my own suit. We went through everything — fabrics, weight, texture, lining options, buttons, finishes. The kind of details that I love and that matter.
@_bradsta has been incredibly helpful throughout it all. Thoughtful, knowledgeable, and patient in making sure every choice made sense for me and how I would wear these garments.
If you were at the Opening Event, you saw it. I think it worked well on your boy.
Be sure to check Enzo Custom out - and tell them I sent you. Suit reveal soon.
We’ve been working behind the scenes; listening, curating, and ocumenting.
On March 25, we release something for the men who care about where they shop, gather, and belong.
Save the date 🙌🏽
More scenes of process from my first bespoke shoe! 😭 I can’t wait until these are complete! I’m sure you can see what shoe this will be now, right?
Who else wants a pair? 👀
