Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker has been making waves not only on the football field but also in the world of fashion.
As one of the co-founders of the menswear brand Shepherd's, Butker has been blending his passion for style with his faith, creating a unique and impactful brand that is gaining attention both on and off the field.
In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, Butker shared that he has always been drawn to dressing well.
"For the last few seasons I’ve enjoyed dressing more formally for games and I guess I’ve gotten a bit of a reputation for it," he said.
His Instagram account is a testament to this, with a shift from game-day and practice action shots to a display of his sartorial choices.
Butker's interest in menswear goes beyond just looking good. He sees it as a way to elevate society and make a positive impact.
"I’ve always been drawn to dressing well, but not necessarily ‘fashion,’" Butker explained.
For him, the process of selecting the right fabric, cut, and style for each suit is a season-long endeavor that involves careful planning and consideration.
The attention to detail in Butker's wardrobe is evident in the small touches that might go unnoticed by the casual observer. From the choice of fabric to the specific styling details, each element is carefully curated to create a cohesive and impactful look.
Butker's recent dark green double-breasted suit, worn at a playoff game against the Buffalo Bills, is a prime example of this meticulous approach to dressing.
Butker's dedication to style is not just about personal expression; it is also a way for him to showcase the work of Shepherd's and the impact it can have. The brand's focus on elevating men's style is deeply intertwined with the co-founders' Catholic faith.
While they reject the label of being a "Catholic company," they see Shepherd's as a way to live out their faith while offering products that are accessible to all men seeking to elevate themselves and the world around them.
The company's showroom in Kansas City is a hub for personalized service, where each garment is meticulously measured for the purchaser.
The clothes themselves are crafted in Portugal, reflecting the brand's commitment to quality and attention to detail.
The diverse skill sets of the four co-founders, including Butker, Chris Cottrell, Nathan Price, and Austin Wright, contribute to the seamless fusion of style, faith, and craftsmanship that defines Shepherd's.
Nathan Price, another co-founder of Shepherd's, emphasized the importance of their collective expertise in shaping the brand.
"I've spent a lot of my career in menswear, from a corporate retailer in high school to working at one of the biggest menswear voices in the world," Price shared.
This wealth of experience and knowledge has undoubtedly played a crucial role in establishing Shepherd's as a respected and influential menswear brand.
Butker's journey from the football field to the world of fashion exemplifies the power of passion, faith, and collaboration.
His commitment to dressing well goes beyond mere aesthetics; it is a reflection of his dedication to excellence and his desire to make a positive impact in the world.
As he prepares for the upcoming Super Bowl in Las Vegas, there is no doubt that Butker will continue to make a statement both on and off the field, showcasing his unique blend of fashion and faith.
