"Jason Scott takes his cotton seriously. Every piece in his eponymous clothing line is airy, velvety, supple. This comes from Scott’s obsessive attention to detail. In his previous career he worked at one of LA’s top talent agencies. Instead of schmoozing with industry executives at lunch, he went to Barneys, where he grilled the salespeople about the details and craftmanship of the pieces he like. That led to Scott starting his own line of supremely soft, wearable basics in 2013. He considers every stitch (an anomaly in simple casual wear). The crewnecks keep their shape, the high-neck tanks flatter, even the sweatpants look chic. And it’s worth noting that Scott is the nicest guy. Visit his pristine brick-and-mortar boutique in Tribeca and you may catch him there pouring whiskey and inviting friends (and customers) to take a load off. "
