Rumor has it that Hyden Yoo will do a collaboration collection with Urban Outfitters in Nov, but for now, he has released his Fall 09 collection. With many variations of the blazer, and a few gingham button downs, there will be much to choose from. A clean and sleek look, much like a J.Crew or Banana, yet with many more details and better colors.

We first met Hyden Yoo when he launched his collection several years ago and we are amazed how far the line has evolved.  No longer strictly high quality, great fitting woven shirts with a slightly shorter cut than traditional dress shirts, Hyden Yoo is now a full collection of knits, trousers, jackets, and of course, wovens. Yoo describes it as Wall Street meets Brooklyn hipster. We describe it as must have now!!!
