Fabric, cuts and seams are meticulously detailed as sourced directly from the old age mills of Scotland still running to this day.Sternberg's initial concept was to create a line of classic men's shirts and ties using fine fabrics and careful tailoring. However, the label subsequently grew into designing knitwear, accessories and a line of hand-tailored suits. Band of Outsiders was named after Sternberg's favorite film, Bande a part is a story of reclaiming a tale of romanticism within clothes of a rich historical background and gentlemenship. As part of the main collection, Boy by Band of Outsiders, developed in July 2007 as the collection for women's is hand-made by Martin Greenfield Clothiers and is supports the main menswear collection which has been fronted by the likes of Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams.
