About Brian Adee

Brian looks for that special quality in everything he does, from everyday style to traditional handicrafts and outdoor activities. You'll often find him with his backpack and an old book, hitting the streets or the trail in search of fresh inspiration.

Background: Brian Adee got his start in men’s fashion at just seven years old, when he found a purple silk shirt at a secondhand store and decided to wear it everywhere and all the time. This would be the start of a long and fruitful obsession with dressing well.

Taught to read and write by his older brother Jonathan, Brian has gone on to make a career out of reviewing clothing and gear. He has a particular fondness for any brand that is buy-it-for-life quality, and strives every day to live with only what is essential.

Expertise: An industry expert and prolific writer with a background in the food industry, Brian's work has been featured in publications including Effortless Gent, Kitchen Ambition, GearMoose and The Slender Wrist.
