Cliff Rodriguez and Chris Beadle started their careers like many of us do on the retail floor. After working their asses off to make way into the buying office they eventually landed jobs as tailored clothing buyers for Barneys New York. Since the Barneys closure they have since moved on to new endeavors and have their finger on the pulse of the menswear industry.

Over a couple of Aperol Spritz's (true Italian company employees) we dug in deep into how they approached getting into careers as menswear buyers, the state of menswear in 2021, and so much more.
