Legends of the Fall

Peyton Barber Gets Scholarship offer; Cam Newton models for GQ

The future looks bright in the world of Ken Barber Signature.
Drop by the downtown Atlanta lifestyle boutique to offer the proprietor hearty congratulation. His son - Peyton Barber - a standout running back for Milton High School, has just received his first full scholarship offer. After catching just a day-long glimpse of the strong and speedy ball-carrier at a recent football camp, the Clemson Tigers wasted no time requesting Barber's services for the next four years.
Stay tuned for recruiting updates: Barber will likely attract even more attention during his senior season, and he has yet to make an official visit to any campus.
STEADY CAM: This month's issue of GQ magazine designates No. 1 NFL draft pick Cam Newton as an instant 'fall classic'; and it dresses him accordingly in beefy, boldly-striped sweaters for autumn style preview.
As you scan the four-page feature on Newton - who emerged from College Park, Ga. to become the star quarterback for the Auburn Tigers, leading them to this year's national championship and winning the Heisman Trophy - keep Ken Barber Signature on your radar. Early fall looks are already trickling into the store and will likely get snapped up quick and summer gives way to fall. Don't let your wardrobe seem caught off guard.

As Seen in GQ: Summer Shirts at Ken Barber Signature

Get this season's essential look at Atlanta's best price!
By A. Scott Walton
If summer's chicest menswear style is what you seek, look no further than downtown Atlanta's Ken Barber Signature boutique.
There, you'll find the shirts that GQ magazine declares as "must-haves" for the summer months: Epaulette shirts.
They're distinguished by the roguish/rugged appearance, straps on the shoulders and inner button tabs that hold the sleeves in place when they're rolled up.

Long before the June issue of GQ hit newsstands with actor Alexander Skarsgard on the cover wearing a "military-inspired" shirt (unbuttoned to the navel, with his necktie askew) epaulette shirts were already dangling from the custom racks at Ken Barber.
GQ's article on epaulette shirts spotlights labels such as Burberry, Moncier Grenoble, Vince and Ralph Lauren, at prices averaging over $200. At Ken Barber, the same look is available from the prestige brands Five-Four and WT02, priced at $95 and $62 respectively.
