Farm Tactics in the L.A. Times
Thankfully, the menswear designers of the evening made up for what lacked in the women’s. Upstairs, newcomer Kyle Ing’s line Farm Tactics was neatly presented among taxidermied llamas and other barn-like accoutrement. The 26-year-old Bay Area native’s collection of pants, vests, button-down shirts and moccasins is a strong nod to American heritage labels. “I am such a fan of old style,” said Ing, who manufactures everything in downtown L.A. and sources vintage fabrics to make one-of-a-kind backpacks and messenger-style bags that look like a cross between an army rucksack and a horse saddle.
Any fan of Woolrich Woolen Mills and the vintage Pendleton in stores like Opening Ceremony would be a fan of Farm Tactics, which retails from $37 (for a T-shirt) to $140 (for pants).
