September 7^th, 2019

The designer

If you have heard of them, he has probably dressed them.

Names like John Wayne, Salvador Dalí, Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Dolly Parton, Elton John, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, The Jackson Five, John Travolta, Marlon Brando, Burt Reynolds, Sylvester Stallone, Jack White, Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, Frank Sinatra, and and an endless list of others have all called upon Manuel to deliver the iconic looks that you know them by.

The man who put Johnny Cash in black has teamed up with The Heart Hatter Logan Miles Allison to put Tennessee Titans Guard Rodger Saffold in Titan Blue for his tenth season in the NFL.

The 86-year old has been designing since 1945 and still creates out of his Nashville studio after more than 40 years of designing in Los Angeles

The process

This collaboration with Rodger is also the first collaboration with Manuel and hat designer Logan-Miles Allison, aka The Heart Hatter. Both designers only create 1-of-1 pieces, which means they will never be replicated. This unique approach to fashion allows them to create work that is unique to the individual they are outfitting. Because of this uniqueness, it is important to the designers to meet with Rodger and understand what the needs are.

On an off day during preseason, Rodger drove out to Manuel's home south of Nashville for a morning of discussion, home-cooked food, and time with their family to begin the process of creating a 1-of-1 outfit for the 6-foot-5 325 pound NFL veteran

THE HEART HATTER

The man who describes his work as "perfectly imperfect", is as unique as the work he creates. His one of a kind personality is matched only by his one of a kind headpieces. Logan works and lives out of his 24' sprinter, which allows him to go to his clients and create wherever he happens to be.

The Hat

Rodger and Logan's relationship goes back to Rodger's days with another team in Los Angeles. Logan has designed several hats for other significant moments in Rodger's life and career. Coming to Tennessee, Logan knew he needed to bring a new Tennessee flair to Rodger's look when collaborating with Manuel to create this 1-of-1 Heart Hat.

The design

After the talking was over, it was time for the master to go to work. While Rodger was busy working hard and grinding on the field during fall camp, Manuel and his team were busy cutting and sewing at his Nashville shop to present the work of art before the first regular season game.

THe runway

Heading to the game in style is a pretty common theme in the NFL and the actual runway walking to the plane for the Week 1 game on the road was where we all got to see the final product of this legendary collaboration
