Description
Our cotton twill Michael Anthony Khakis are named after our founder and creative director’s middle brother, Michael Anthony. He is an heir-o’-link (descended of a member of the venerable women’s civic organization, The Links) and also a legacy member of the old-guard children’s leadership institution, Jack and Jill of America. This is the same social club where the daughters of human rights activists Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz are members.
Notably, African American veterans returning home after the Second World War (1939-1945) repurposed their military-issued khakis for everyday wear. Despite often being denied access to GI Bill benefits, many enrolled at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), where khakis were later adopted as part of their college campus wardrobe.
