Sam's grandfather was in the tuxedo business and Sam cites him as the reason that he feels that he can wear anything and hope to get away with it. We love seeing Sam's interpretation of his grandfather's paisley tux jacket and electric blue patent shoes. Sam claims that he is a "mess" of glam rock, south american, preppie, hip hop, and grunge, but we think that he is anything but a mess and knows how to make it work. His T shirt line reflects his deep roots as a New Yorker Manhattan Knights Tee-Shirts.
