Model\u2019s Own<\/strong><\/em> showcases our favorite friends\u2019 favorite things. For more recs on fashion, beauty, and tech, visit the<\/em> Shopping tab<\/em> or subscribe to our<\/em> newsletter<\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n

The D.C. native Greg Jackson is the designer behind Greg Laboratory, his quasi namesake fashion upstart of technical apparel for cool guys on the town. Conceived of as a destination for fans of modern-monochromatic everyday wear, the young New York City-based brand categorizes its shirts, jackets, and pants according to how they slot into both its own product lineup and<\/em> their future owner\u2019s wardrobe. Here you\u2019ll find the explicitly experimental, building-block evergreens, and plenty of clever in-betweens, all in shades black, gray, and white.<\/p>\n

The concept label is as invested in the design of its clothes as it is in their material composition \u2014\u00a0clear evidence of Jackson\u2019s training in industrial design and previous career at Nike. The care and attention to detail it requires to sustain such a consumer-centric ethos is why we wanted to learn more about Jackson\u2019s approach to shopping, his grooming go-tos, and his guilty pleasures.<\/p>\n

What item do you wear at least twice a week?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A pair of Greg Laboratory pants and a Gyakusou jacket signed by Jun Takahashi.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pants I designed for myself. They\u2019re really loose, really easy to be in all day. The main ones I wear are poly-cotton so they have a sheen that looks a little bit dressy, but they\u2019re a heavier weight. I gave them really gigantic pockets organized in a way where I can still put everything in them. You could stick a water bottle, cell phone, wallet, everything in these.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The jacket is one I designed with Jun when I was at Nike. It was the first piece I did working with them. So when I left Nike, it was a gift from my boss, and Jun had signed it for me. It\u2019s a piece I\u2019ll always have.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What garment do you regret getting rid of?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Yohji Yamamoto nylon trench coat.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s funny, I get into these situations where, if I haven\u2019t worn something in a year, I\u2019ll sell it because I\u2019m trying to have a small closet. So I probably got something else that I was super into, and I didn\u2019t wear this jacket for a whole year, so I was like, let\u2019s sell it. But I regret it now because the fabric was so great. The fit was awesome; they had these pocket details I try to apply to every garment that I have now. I just wish I still had it as a reference piece. I might\u2019ve sold it on Grailed. I should go back and look for it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What is the most you’ve ever paid for an article of clothing or an accessory?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Cartier Santos Galb\u00e9e. I\u2019m not a watch guy whatsoever, but I discovered this watch online someplace super late to the game. I usually don\u2019t wear any gold at all; I\u2019m usually silver. But for some reason, the gold and silver on this watch looked so great.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was my 34th birthday, and I wanted to treat myself. So I bought this from The RealReal, but I didn\u2019t realize there were two sizes \u2014 the women\u2019s size and the men\u2019s size. And I had bought the women\u2019s size. I was so nervous because I thought it was too small for my wrist, but I have very small wrists as it is. And everyone was like, \u201cNo, it fits you so well.\u201d So now it\u2019s one of my favorite pieces. I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ll ever actually buy another watch; this is my go-to. I love that it\u2019s almost like a bracelet.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

What item do you own multiples of?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My Greg Laboratory long-sleeve T-shirt. I also designed this for myself. It\u2019s very loose-fitting, very airy, with super long sleeves \u2014 probably low-key a little too long, but I just like my sleeves to touch my thumb knuckle. It\u2019s just a very versatile shirt. I wore it hiking in Peru, I wore it in the Amazon, I wear it in the city, and it just does great.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your favorite sweater or T-shirt right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Surprisingly, a black J.Crew mohair sweater I received as a gift. My girlfriend was doing a J. Crew event, and she got the sweater because she thought I might like it. And I was like, \u201cWhat? I don\u2019t wear J. Crew.\u201d And then I put that thing on, and I was like, \u201cOkay, yeah, this is kind of nice.\u201d And every time I wear it, everyone is like, \u201cYo, is that Jil Sander?\u201d\u00a0and they name all these crazy high-end brands. I\u2019m just like, \u201cNah, this is J. Crew.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

What’s the most underrated brand right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oree NYC. They\u2019re based in New York City; I think my homie Chester was the first one that I saw with them. Their main shoe is a dress shoe with a big lug sole and a zipper in the back, but they\u2019re super heavy duty and crazy comfortable. I wore them all through the winter. Super nice guys. I really think they\u2019ll pop off sooner than later, honestly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What do you start with when building an outfit?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I let the weather dictate my outfit and then dress accordingly. If it\u2019s hot, I\u2019ll wear something loose and breathable. I start at the bottom and then go up because I essentially have two types of shirts I wear: It\u2019s a white T-shirt or a button-up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

How would your friends roast your style?<\/strong><\/p>\n

They’d probably say I wear the exact same thing every day. I just wear white and black. I\u2019ve slowly been tiptoeing into French blue, like that quintessential COMME des GAR\u00c7ONS shirt blue. But besides that, it\u2019s white and black. And if I go outside of that, everyone\u2019s like, \u201cWhoa, what?\u201d<\/p>\n

How often do you do laundry?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I probably wash clothes every other week, and I\u2019m super strict about taking care of my clothes. I dry-clean all of my shirting, and I wash almost everything on cold and hang dry \u2014 including my socks. I just moved to a new apartment in Bedstuy so I\u2019m still trying to find a go-to dry cleaner. I might just look in the city because I\u2019m in midtown every day.<\/p>\n

What goes on your face before bed?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vita-Antioxidant AVST Moisturizer. I feel like we guys got into skincare ever since Pharrell did his brand. I was trying to find the best stuff, and my girlfriend got me a facial from our friend Soo-Young, and I was like \u201cWow, this looks great. I look crazy shiny.\u201d And then I was like, \u201cDo you have some skincare product I should use?\u201d And she was just like, \u201cYeah, use this one.\u201d Honestly, I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s good or not, but the fact that a woman told me to use it, I\u2019m like, \u201cCool, I’m down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Any grooming or beauty rituals?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before bed, I wash my face with IS CLINICAL Cleansing Complex, rinse with cold water, then apply the Vita moisturizer. I also use Sebum Tone Clarifying toner a couple times a week. Shout out Soo-Young for my regimen.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s something you do or own that others might deem unnecessary or decadent?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I probably go through an entire bag of BjornQorn spicy popcorn in one sitting twice a week. I can\u2019t even tell you when this happened, but I just got hooked on this popcorn. It\u2019s just good. It\u2019s spicy. It\u2019s just salty enough that it\u2019s not too salty. And because I get it from a fancy grocery store, I feel like it\u2019s not as bad for me, but that\u2019s definitely not true.<\/p>\n
