Sneak Peek: Alder’s Spring Collection
“As we’ve progressed, we’ve seen a lot of interest in our accessories—particularly our men’s ties and hair powder, which is unisex. This seemed like a good time to expand for our male customer,” explains Zilka. The resulting collection highlights Alder’s signature minimal-with-a-twist mindset, with giant check-print drawstring shorts, denim button-downs with oversize utilitarian pockets, and embroidered lace linen trucker jackets (one of their favorites because “it’s not flashy—one might not notice it until they get close, but it’s a detail that elevates the piece above the ordinary”). It’s for, as Zilka puts it, the guy who “cares about the quality and details in his garments; he likes nice things and doesn’t want to compromise the practical elements of his garments for design. He likes garments that are familiar, but have a fresh point of view.”
