Oversized Fit Bloodline Tee - Black

Generational Professions.

During my trip to New York, I met a man who has since become a friend. His name is Fernando Scarpati. He runs Ferdi, a restaurant in the West Village, with his sister Aida. His family story began in 1955, when their grandfather, Ferdinando, left the small island of Ponza, Italy, and crossed the Atlantic to open a restaurant in the Bronx. His son followed. Then his grandchildren. 

Three generations later, the family is still in the restaurant business, still cooking Italian food, and still keeping the old recipes alive. I wonder if Ferdinando ever imagined that when he first arrived in New York. He couldn't have known how far his journey would travel. That the traditions he brought with him would become part of his children's lives, and eventually his grandchildren's, too.

That's the thing about bloodlines. They carry more than a family name. They carry stories, traditions, values, and a little piece of the place where it all began. You might be born in Italy, New York, or somewhere halfway around the world. But some things are already part of you before you even know it.

The Bloodline Tee is a tribute to everything we inherit, everything we carry, and everything we pass on. Made from 100% premium cotton in a substantial 260-gsm fabric. Soft, heavyweight feel with a durable structure and comfortable everyday wear. Built to last, designed to be worn with pride.
