History
Andy Perl & Evan Hakalir both worked at hedge funds until they lost their jobs in the great recession of 2008. It was then that they decided to start Andy & Evan, for which Perl's toddler son is the company's spokesmodel.
Andy & Evan began in the men's custom shirt business, but switched to fashion-forward children's clothing after noticing a void in the market for such items when co-founder Perl had a son.
Company outlook
Andy & Evan looks to promote a dapper look for young boys, with its profile stating they offer their clothing line for "little gentlemen."
Awards
Andy & Evan won Earnshaw Magazine's Earnie Award in 2013, 2014 and 2015 for their innovative style.
