Ernest W. Baker MONKSTRAPS

Drawing on quintessential ‘70s tailoring, Ernest W. Baker puts a contemporary spin on retro menswear. Founders Reid Baker and Inês Amorim bring their respective cultural influences to the table: Baker, an American attitude, and Amorim, European charm. Established in 2016, the Portugal-based brand reimagines vintage suiting with a present-day flair. Marrying traditional menswear fabrics—tweed, velvet, and cotton shirting—with unconventional shifts in silhouettes, the label breathes new life into classic cuts. Sleeveless blazers, cropped-hem trousers, and vivid accent colors display the brand’s rebellious bent without disrupting the lavish essence of its collections. Bestriding nostalgia and modernity, Ernest W. Baker has updated prep school-informed attire for the contemporary sartorial dresser.
