As men are getting more interested in tailoring, and how their jeans are made, and "New Dandyism" is on the rise, we were pleased to hear about the Young Meagher project. The organizers wont say whether the origins are fictional or true, but the project purports to shed light on the heretofore-lost history of a secret society called the Militant Guild of Rural Tailors, which was founded during the early Industrial Revolution. Even during its heyday details about the Guild had been shrouded in mystery but knowledge of its existence had all but completely disappeared over the decades since its formation.  During the very early stages of project research, the Guild and the designers used the dogmas of the secret society's 126 year-old manifesto as a guideline to develop a contemporary men’s clothing concept. In this regard Young Meagher is itself a research project with its documentation taking the form of prototype "test garments".

The Young Meagher project debuts at Earnest Sewn gallery on November 30.
