Speaker 1 (00:00):
That moment was frozing in my mind forever, and of

iconic picture of fashion sports history.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Yeah, yeah, what up artist, Your boy Joe cracked the dawn.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
No, it is your boy Jada. Know what it is
that Joe and Jada show man. Every show legendary, every
show iconic. And we stick to our word. I mean,
no matter what it is, music, fashion, sports, lifestyle. You
think of our guests today, think of that fly shit.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Think of the early nineties, late eighties. I think of
Mark one twenty five. I think a genesis. I think
a searching all around the city looking, you know what
I mean. Sometimes I will find it, sometimes I will
come up.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
When you just.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Think of Fly, you think of the NBA and Big
all major league sports. You think of winners because you
see his logos and his levers. Whenever it is winning
involved ladies and gentlemen. Makes some noise for our guests.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Jeff Hamilton, great to be here, Welcome to the couch,
my friend. Thank you for having university with two legends
like you. Guys.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
What candor level is that? This is my corporate. Look,
it's my my crocodile jacket. Flash, Look my black leather.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
This is the most elite level of levers a crocodile
look right, correct, You can't go.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Bigger than that. That's the most expensive. Yeah, that's kind
of like you don't have to even put designs on
it though. I actually did a jacket for for Pharrell
that had all crocodile and designs on a Virginia Beach
one that was a different level.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
What you know, as I'm looking at you right, good friend,
I'm thinking to Kobe Bryant, right, that Kobe Bryant jacket
he wore when he won the chip. How did you
get that to him? And how did that even happen?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
It was a fierce process. You know. The whole thing
started with Michael so In Michael Jordan in ninety one
when he won the first championship. I said, you know,
I really want to make him a championship jacket this
way when he wins it. You know, everybody has a
T shirt and then the hat, and but nobody thought
about the jackets. I said, let me just have the jacket,
(02:44):
because on the jacket you really could tell the whole
story and also you get kind of the idea of
getting the trophy or the ring without having to wait
five months to get the ring. So you get kind
of a moment of instant gratification when you win and
you get the jacket. And so it happened slowly with
Michael it and Michael expected every year when he champ
(03:06):
as soon as he pulled up to to the to
the locker room, I was right there with the jacket
and put it on, and and it just went viral
in Chicago in the nineties. That's all people wanted, don't
they want my championship jackets? And Kobe being such a
student of the game and such a student of Michael,
just took it to a different level. So in two
(03:29):
thousand and when he won the first championship with the Lakers,
his first championship, he had it. We had the moments
of locker room. But the second year in Philly it
became so iconic because jeded as you did the post,
when when you did the verses, I mean that post
became iconic. Uh, there was a moment in time that
(03:50):
was frozen. Being a kid from Philly and loving the Sixers,
growing up with his dad playing for the sixers and
being Buddha all night and still winning, and also knowing
that his parents were not in the in the sense,
you know, looking at him winning, which is the biggest
moment of his life, back to back championship, and so
(04:14):
he had that meditative moment, and so he wanted to
isolate himself and he took the trophy and went to
the shower and locked himself out and nobody knew where
it was. So I knew better to follow the great
Andy Bernstein, the Hall of Famer photographer, because he had
all the team looking for the trophy. And we walked
(04:34):
into the the room and there was only three people,
just all three, and and and and he was there
like dreaming, and that moment was frozen in my mind forever.
And of course everybody showed up, and that just became
the most iconic picture of fashion sports history.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
You know. I think everybody's trying to emulate that picture.
And I didn't had rappers make the album cover like that.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Who did Daniel? Annuel did it? Annuel?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
And well did it?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
And wow the cover of the.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Patrick Mahomes Lol. MESSI Caitlin Clark Lebron did it with
the twenty twenty championship. So it's been and I've been
also pushing it in a way. I mean, you did
it when with the versus so jed. So the idea
is that it became it's a symbol also of of winning,
(05:29):
but also reflecting and take embracing the moment and taking
a pause and not being in the champagne and the
whole thing. You can do that after, but that moment
was isolated all the hard work that you put in
for for for a year two and the hard labor
to get to win the championship and then just take
a little a few seconds to enjoy it.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
So you was in retail in New York, right, did
you always just have your your jackets that you decided
I'm going to make my own.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Jeff Hamilton. When I moved to America in nineteen eighty,
I moved a wife and two kids. I married when
I was nineteen. I was twenty four. I just turned
seventy and I came with six thousand dollars and my
dream was to become an accountant. And I love numbers,
and I was I mean, I was a smart kid
(06:20):
because I was a nerd. So I was a good
student and one thing. But I also was a hustler.
I wanted to make money. I really was chasing money.
I care, but wanting to come as an immigrant and
tried to I came with no papers illegal tried to
find my way. I stampled upon some people that were
studying a new brand, and I said, I didn't have
(06:42):
any experience of designing, never designed anything in my life.
They know about pattern, they know about management of a business.
And I got the rights to do the men's wear
for a new brand that just came out in the market,
and that was guest Jeens. So I founded. I was
a first licensee of guest Geens for men. I founded
the first the company that was doing it and with
(07:04):
at the time, with twenty grand that I started in
nineteen eighty three, took the company to seventy five million
dollars in two years. But I was a kid that
was in my twenties. I mean, I was just I
didn't even know how to handle it. I barely spoke English.
I mean, thank god I spoke Spanish because I was
my first language, being born in Morocco and French. And
I managed my way through to doing it. And I
(07:25):
really just really was not a plan of me to
do it like I'm doing it counturally right now, to
stay in the culture and do things because I'm passionate
about it and really not chasing the money. At the time,
it was all about I need to just make a
difference and every older haters, including family members. You know
that that that saw me living friends with the kids
(07:45):
and with my babies at the time, and and my
son is forty eight. You know, it's not like checking
kids and and and going out and succeeding was like
a sweet kind of moment for me to choose to
do it.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
You know, I see you work hard.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
I work hard, right, and I admire other people that
work hard. And now you know you up there in age.
But one day I see you in La one day
I see you Miami, one day I see you in France.
One day I see you this and I'm like, man,
this guy, you really are the true definition of a
hustler and working hard.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
What motivates you now to work that hard?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Often said that the main reason why I am where
I am right now is because of the failures. You
know that the dark times were the best time in
my life when when I suffered not long ago. I
mean when I lost everything few years back, after all
those things and the marriages and divorces, and you know,
the partner's screwing up and and and you reflect on
(08:51):
those moments and you understand that all you can we
can do is do the best thing that we can
do every day. Wake up. We have the will power
that give us for us to work as hard as
we want to do, never take anything for granted, being
respectful to people, being as good as you can. And
also we're lucky. I mean, we're blessed to know that
(09:12):
we wake up every morning doing the things that we
are getting paid to do what we love. I mean,
if Michael Jordan was not worth three billion dollars and
it was not Michael Jordan, he'll be in his back.
You are shooting shooting baskets because that's what we do.
I'm shooting baskets every day myself, and I'm happy every
morning that I do. And I don't care if it's
a one jacket when we'll make few hundred dollars, it's
(09:34):
going to be a dozand jackets. I work and address
everything with the same way. I don't care if I'm
dealing with the big celebrity or I'm dealing with a
bus word. I treat everybody the same and with respect
and integrity.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Do you get more respect now than when you was
doing it earlier?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Much more? Yeah? I took it for granted. I mean
that's why pretty much also I lost everything is because
I took it for granted. I thought that was the man.
I mean, I thought, you know, I'm in my twenties,
I'm making six seven million dollars a year, you know,
seven minutes if I've million dousand cells. And and I'm
like like with Billie Idol, and I'm with Guns n' Roses,
and I'm here with Andrew dis Play, and I'm here
(10:16):
with you know, you know, James Kahn, and I think
I'm believing mom bullshit. Then at that point, you know,
then somebody like God comes in and on the should
and say, well, wake up. You know you're nothing. You're
just simply a channel of the energy that I'm getting you,
So follow the rules and and and when you're young,
(10:36):
you don't know, you don't have the experience, and we
made mistakes, and learning from you mistakes are the good science.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
And you start I appreciate you that let your darkest
moments bring your most clarity. You'll learn who who's really
your friends really got your back, And like you said,
you know, God gives you these lessons and you got
to you got to absorb it. You got to say, oh,
I got to change this to that A step a game.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
But not everybody does it. You know, you get you
get the fall and you get up, and people don't
learn the lesson. And many times I fell and got
up and I made the same mistakes and fell back again.
But this moment, there was a shift, when I was
sixty four years old to make a comeback. Actually, when
you and I met that that wallace in La you know,
(11:29):
and and I reached out to you, like like on Instagram,
I want to meet you, I want to see you.
And there was a shift there that I felt like
it was I'm changing it, I'm learning from my mistakes,
and I want to be better. I want to be
and I understand that there was up to that point,
I never saw myself having a place in the culture,
(11:51):
which I respected from day one. I stayed consistent from
day one, and I stayed in one lane. I never
went for the big money and the big sellouts. Different things.
And even when I did NASCAR, which was anti culture
in a way, like because it was such not you
doin things that the kids in the street with wear
and Nascar stuff. I brought it to the streets and
(12:11):
where it became. Everybody was wearing the m and ms
and the tides and the and thed on hard stuff.
And people had no idea that that on heart was
bigger than Michael Jorn at the time, you know, as
far as as far as a certain segment of the population.
And it just and that realization for me to understand
when I start coming in in like six five six
(12:33):
years ago and going tomms like they they in Brooklyn
at Braket Center and young kids seventeen years old, that
you know that we're not even born. When when Kobe
had that moment and I said, what's up, legend such
and honor to me, just me for what I mean.
(12:55):
I only did it for the money at the time,
and I started appreciating more that and it wasn't a
Nego stuff. And when people come and ask me to
a picture they think I make them happy, they understand
that they're making me happy. They basically a validation of
all the hard work and passion that put behind it.
They give me the seal of the stent of approoval
sepoovo for all of what we do.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
That's how I feel when I see Jeff Hamilton. I
feel like Jeff Hamilton.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
You know what I'm saying. That's just me, you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Like Jaggers was like a roll.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
It's like you made it when you got to jeffan Oh, yeah,
because you said because you you you said genesis of this.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
You had to have money to walk in Genesis and
buy a real leather Like there was levels you had,
j Man, you had the last year, and then you
get the Genesis. Then you get to another level. Who
are some of the designers that you've seen come up?
And you had no clue they were going to get
big like that, and you was like wow.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I mean the thesiest one is this is the first
bell that Chromheart ever made, first one first like top
top five. I mean I probably this is like, I mean,
I've been offered stupid money for that. But you know, Richard,
you know when I had guest Jeans, I mean he
was a salesman that was selling me leather. So because
(14:14):
I came at the time in the eighties when I came,
I want to make the denims, so I wanted to
do something different, So I made the denim jeans with
the leather parts of part of it. I did the
jackets with the leather on it, which nobody had done.
So I was buying crazy, crazy quantities of leather. And
then he was a wrap and it was and I
loved him because he was like riding on his holley
(14:35):
and coming to the office with the long hair. My
hair was long. We were all rock and rollers, and
it was I'd rather give him the business that didn't
give them the bis to the guys from back east.
I were the white dudes that were all square with
a suit and tie, and it was just like I
felt it. And you know, just mind you. I'm like
twenty five years old and I'm running up four hundred
employees working and I'm learning every day on the business
(14:57):
because like I said, I didn't know how to design.
I became a designer by necessity because I didn't like
the way that the people were doing it. So I
went to my clothes and I started pulling stuff out
and and tried studying myself, and I said, I don't
want to do that. I like that pocket, I want
to do that bucket on the gen and I start
creating stuff, and then of course organically became more an
(15:18):
urban brand for me. You know, I never even though
the guests wanted to be more department stores, sacks, Bloomingdale's,
you know, naming marketing myself. I started selling stuff in
Detroit in the malls. Well like there was all the
all the guys with the fur coats and the jewelry,
way before the great players, yeah, the real players, I mean,
and and then we just start getting that and and
(15:40):
and it just became viral. And we had no Instagram,
we had no advertising. Everything just came from word of mouth.
And because we had the first one to do uh
black fashion, uh crazy sizes and stuff like that. So
so crom Art is probably the biggest one that and
then and they were well deserved because I mean it's
(16:03):
beautiful what they've done and the hype that they've done,
I mean better. But it was like guys like true religion,
they were they were for me. I mean, uh seven
jeens that were for me, Citizens of humanity, they were
for me. I've worked with the guys from Jay Brandt.
I mean all those guys at one point in time,
they all have I've touched all those guys, you know,
(16:25):
like even even a gallery department. I mean, he was
my sales rap that when I was buying you know,
ro Lauren, who was my favorite designer by the way,
still is My favorite designer is raf Flauren. And for me,
it's like the goat of goats when it comes to fashion.
I'd like to think that I had my inprinted a
little bit all along the way with a lot of designers.
(16:45):
There's always a point of reference that I have. I mean,
this is a forty five year career that I've had
and still working fifteen hours a day, seven days a week,
and and I'll go out. I mean, I mean on
Instagram it looks like I'm having fun, which i am.
I'm having fun, I'm but you know, there's a grinding.
There's a grind behind everything. There is, Like Monday morning,
(17:09):
I'll be at eight o'clock on my computer, I close
my door, i won't leave my office till six pm,

So I want to make me the same exact jacket,
(23:26):
but instead of having the top hat and the hair
and the guns, I want to do my long hair
a skeleton of my face, and I want two microphones.
And he came in and he came into my hotel,
and I delivered the jacket, and he put the big
check book. Remember we had the three part check books.

(26:33):
fur I need to come in here with the glowing,
the dark crocodile.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
I take it to that because because you know it's
certain things self explained to me.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
With crocodile, they already know it is.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yes, you don't need mouthough, you don't need the logo
you don't need anything. You don't need nothing, you need
the right crocodile.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
You know what. You know what I did. I'm not
going to say the designer right. You can say this.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
No, no, I don't want to say it right because
he's a nice guy. But I called this you want
me to say, Okay. So I went to do a
show for Philip Plyin, right, Phillip, that's your guy. Philip
Plyin looks like the richest guy in the world, right,
and he probably is right.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
But he told me.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
He took me your story. He said, anything you want, Joe,
and it was a crocodile.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
That's it. He said, Oh no, Joe, nothing anything but that.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
I said, Philip blind, you're the richest guy in the world.
You told me to pick, he said, Joe, this is
my show. He said, you take that. I have nothing
to show like this is a I'll saying yo. But
you know, I went for the bat. I went for
the gusto. I went for the bigod.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I did one for Arnold Trussenegger through Bijon, and that
was for for like a blazer. Even even like something
like that like that directly would be like thirty five
forty grand.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
You should have saw this guy earlier had the camera flage.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I got that that look good down to your ankle.
What I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
That was that was really good. That looked good. The
whole fits, the whole fit.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Was crazy, right. You know.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Sometimes you know, like the other day something I'm a
big fan of. We are it's boat taking. Take a
lot of urban don't understand botaka like that. They don't
know what that thing right now they're starting, Yeah, they're
starting to know. Yet, scammers hustled. You got people always
want like me. I just said, Yo, the you got
(28:47):
guys who want the best.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
No matter what it is. They're like, oh, that's the
ship I need to get.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
And so that moving print, that that woven fabric, it's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
I seen Cardi b at the football game.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
With the the burgundy and then she had all the
way down to the boots, all the way down.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
To the even the sunglasses are beautiful. I mean, I
just you know, the beautiful stuff. I mean. But the
key when it comes to to to branding and fashion
branding and luxury branding is number one. You have to
flex for yourself. You buying it because you love it yourself.
You know, if you you love it yourself and you
put it on yourself and you feel good when you
(29:25):
loo cuts up in the mirror, then you the game
is don of course, you want people to see your
your watch and you step. You know, I could tell you,
but it has to become from you, to become authentic, course,
to come from you. We like that people follow up
and then then people recognize it.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
You know, let me tell you something, Jeff right, because
I have a real problem with fashion, spending money on fashion.
I've spent so much money on fashion, but one place
I've always been able to walk down of Fendy Ferns
to be on the best Ferns, the best I don't
(30:04):
want to say.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
I could never afford it, but it's so expensive. I
never pulled the trigger.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
I have walked out the store, seen stuff that I
really won, and I said, walked it off, went out.
But recently, maybe like a month ago, I finally bought
my Fendy fir and it felt so good. I felt
like I accomplished something in lightless for you. I mean,
after everything I ever bought in my life. I started
(30:31):
bragging the people I was like, I did it, and
they was like shay, y'all. Jim Jones' wife, Chrisy my sister.
I said, Chrissy, man, she was at my house with
my wife. I said, Chrissy, I did it. She said
what you mean. I said, maybe twenty years I walked
out of Fendy. I loved every fer, but never pulled
the trigger.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
I said, I fucking pulled the trigger.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
And she said, yeah, Joe, you took it to the max.
I said, yeah, I took it to the backs.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
The best thing about Jeff Hamilton is everything in quality.
Every jacket I ever got from you is just supreme quality.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
You know, it's quality.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Timis and you know you put in so much work
in the game that people got to salute you and
just be like you know, and everything comes back right
in fashion. Nowadays, my daughter dresses my nephew's dress and
they try to show me stuff that we wore in
(31:28):
ninety two to be like, yo, this is the new
wave we got to fly to be like y'o hole, I.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Throw the flag on the plank like y'all. Oh man,
I told you, you know what I did the other day.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Somebody right, I can't Okay, somebody wore this beautiful fur,
a white fur, right.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
I'll tell you it's ay sat ferg Right, who I
love very much. He wore this. He did it right.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
He wore this white mink to his ankle with their
visus and all that. And I went to look through
my pictures because I remember I wore that white mink before,
back like twenty something years ago, I said, caught around
my stylus, I said, yo, te you remember the time
I rocked the white mink this? He was like, yes, brother,
that was like the day before the MTV or all
(32:16):
the Grammys. We looked for that ship and I found
that fucking bitch a where I wore that white mink.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
I said, yeah, I wore.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
That shit before, like I just knew. But we love
getting flied. We love staying fresh, you know recipes. My
brother Clark can't. He had this thing. I think it
was called addicted to Fresh, and he'd be like, y'all,
I don't care. I'm just addicted to fresh, and you,
my friend Jeff Hamilton, are addicted to fresh.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
This ain't that?
Speaker 1 (32:47):
And ain't this?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
It's cracking kits.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Makes some noise from Jeff Hamley.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Y'all. Jeff hamml
That moment was frozing in my mind forever, and of
course everybody showed up and that just became the most
iconic picture of fashion sports history.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Yeah, yeah, what up artist, Your boy Joe cracked the dawn.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
No, it is your boy Jada. Know what it is
that Joe and Jada show man. Every show legendary, every
show iconic. And we stick to our word. I mean,
no matter what it is, music, fashion, sports, lifestyle. You
think of our guests today, think of that fly shit.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Think of the early nineties, late eighties. I think of
Mark one twenty five. I think a genesis. I think
a searching all around the city looking, you know what
I mean. Sometimes I will find it, sometimes I will
come up.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
When you just.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Think of Fly, you think of the NBA and Big
all major league sports. You think of winners because you
see his logos and his levers. Whenever it is winning
involved ladies and gentlemen. Makes some noise for our guests.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Jeff Hamilton, great to be here, Welcome to the couch,
my friend. Thank you for having university with two legends
like you. Guys.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
What candor level is that? This is my corporate. Look,
it's my my crocodile jacket. Flash, Look my black leather.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
This is the most elite level of levers a crocodile
look right, correct, You can't go.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Bigger than that. That's the most expensive. Yeah, that's kind
of like you don't have to even put designs on
it though. I actually did a jacket for for Pharrell
that had all crocodile and designs on a Virginia Beach
one that was a different level.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
What you know, as I'm looking at you right, good friend,
I'm thinking to Kobe Bryant, right, that Kobe Bryant jacket
he wore when he won the chip. How did you
get that to him? And how did that even happen?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
It was a fierce process. You know. The whole thing
started with Michael so In Michael Jordan in ninety one
when he won the first championship. I said, you know,
I really want to make him a championship jacket this
way when he wins it. You know, everybody has a
T shirt and then the hat, and but nobody thought
about the jackets. I said, let me just have the jacket,
(02:44):
because on the jacket you really could tell the whole
story and also you get kind of the idea of
getting the trophy or the ring without having to wait
five months to get the ring. So you get kind
of a moment of instant gratification when you win and
you get the jacket. And so it happened slowly with
Michael it and Michael expected every year when he champ
(03:06):
as soon as he pulled up to to the to
the locker room, I was right there with the jacket
and put it on, and and it just went viral
in Chicago in the nineties. That's all people wanted, don't
they want my championship jackets? And Kobe being such a
student of the game and such a student of Michael,
just took it to a different level. So in two
(03:29):
thousand and when he won the first championship with the Lakers,
his first championship, he had it. We had the moments
of locker room. But the second year in Philly it
became so iconic because jeded as you did the post,
when when you did the verses, I mean that post
became iconic. Uh, there was a moment in time that
(03:50):
was frozen. Being a kid from Philly and loving the Sixers,
growing up with his dad playing for the sixers and
being Buddha all night and still winning, and also knowing
that his parents were not in the in the sense,
you know, looking at him winning, which is the biggest
moment of his life, back to back championship, and so
(04:14):
he had that meditative moment, and so he wanted to
isolate himself and he took the trophy and went to
the shower and locked himself out and nobody knew where
it was. So I knew better to follow the great
Andy Bernstein, the Hall of Famer photographer, because he had
all the team looking for the trophy. And we walked
(04:34):
into the the room and there was only three people,
just all three, and and and and he was there
like dreaming, and that moment was frozen in my mind forever.
And of course everybody showed up, and that just became
the most iconic picture of fashion sports history.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
You know. I think everybody's trying to emulate that picture.
And I didn't had rappers make the album cover like that.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Who did Daniel? Annuel did it? Annuel?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
And well did it?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
And wow the cover of the.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Patrick Mahomes Lol. MESSI Caitlin Clark Lebron did it with
the twenty twenty championship. So it's been and I've been
also pushing it in a way. I mean, you did
it when with the versus so jed. So the idea
is that it became it's a symbol also of of winning,
(05:29):
but also reflecting and take embracing the moment and taking
a pause and not being in the champagne and the
whole thing. You can do that after, but that moment
was isolated all the hard work that you put in
for for for a year two and the hard labor
to get to win the championship and then just take
a little a few seconds to enjoy it.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
So you was in retail in New York, right, did
you always just have your your jackets that you decided
I'm going to make my own.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Jeff Hamilton. When I moved to America in nineteen eighty,
I moved a wife and two kids. I married when
I was nineteen. I was twenty four. I just turned
seventy and I came with six thousand dollars and my
dream was to become an accountant. And I love numbers,
and I was I mean, I was a smart kid
(06:20):
because I was a nerd. So I was a good
student and one thing. But I also was a hustler.
I wanted to make money. I really was chasing money.
I care, but wanting to come as an immigrant and
tried to I came with no papers illegal tried to
find my way. I stampled upon some people that were
studying a new brand, and I said, I didn't have
(06:42):
any experience of designing, never designed anything in my life.
They know about pattern, they know about management of a business.
And I got the rights to do the men's wear
for a new brand that just came out in the market,
and that was guest Jeens. So I founded. I was
a first licensee of guest Geens for men. I founded
the first the company that was doing it and with
(07:04):
at the time, with twenty grand that I started in
nineteen eighty three, took the company to seventy five million
dollars in two years. But I was a kid that
was in my twenties. I mean, I was just I
didn't even know how to handle it. I barely spoke English.
I mean, thank god I spoke Spanish because I was
my first language, being born in Morocco and French. And
I managed my way through to doing it. And I
(07:25):
really just really was not a plan of me to
do it like I'm doing it counturally right now, to
stay in the culture and do things because I'm passionate
about it and really not chasing the money. At the time,
it was all about I need to just make a
difference and every older haters, including family members. You know
that that that saw me living friends with the kids
(07:45):
and with my babies at the time, and and my
son is forty eight. You know, it's not like checking
kids and and and going out and succeeding was like
a sweet kind of moment for me to choose to
do it.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
You know, I see you work hard.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
I work hard, right, and I admire other people that
work hard. And now you know you up there in age.
But one day I see you in La one day
I see you Miami, one day I see you in France.
One day I see you this and I'm like, man,
this guy, you really are the true definition of a
hustler and working hard.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
What motivates you now to work that hard?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Often said that the main reason why I am where
I am right now is because of the failures. You
know that the dark times were the best time in
my life when when I suffered not long ago. I
mean when I lost everything few years back, after all
those things and the marriages and divorces, and you know,
the partner's screwing up and and and you reflect on
(08:51):
those moments and you understand that all you can we
can do is do the best thing that we can
do every day. Wake up. We have the will power
that give us for us to work as hard as
we want to do, never take anything for granted, being
respectful to people, being as good as you can. And
also we're lucky. I mean, we're blessed to know that
(09:12):
we wake up every morning doing the things that we
are getting paid to do what we love. I mean,
if Michael Jordan was not worth three billion dollars and
it was not Michael Jordan, he'll be in his back.
You are shooting shooting baskets because that's what we do.
I'm shooting baskets every day myself, and I'm happy every
morning that I do. And I don't care if it's
a one jacket when we'll make few hundred dollars, it's
(09:34):
going to be a dozand jackets. I work and address
everything with the same way. I don't care if I'm
dealing with the big celebrity or I'm dealing with a
bus word. I treat everybody the same and with respect
and integrity.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Do you get more respect now than when you was
doing it earlier?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Much more? Yeah? I took it for granted. I mean
that's why pretty much also I lost everything is because
I took it for granted. I thought that was the man.
I mean, I thought, you know, I'm in my twenties,
I'm making six seven million dollars a year, you know,
seven minutes if I've million dousand cells. And and I'm
like like with Billie Idol, and I'm with Guns n' Roses,
and I'm here with Andrew dis Play, and I'm here
(10:16):
with you know, you know, James Kahn, and I think
I'm believing mom bullshit. Then at that point, you know,
then somebody like God comes in and on the should
and say, well, wake up. You know you're nothing. You're
just simply a channel of the energy that I'm getting you,
So follow the rules and and and when you're young,
(10:36):
you don't know, you don't have the experience, and we
made mistakes, and learning from you mistakes are the good science.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
And you start I appreciate you that let your darkest
moments bring your most clarity. You'll learn who who's really
your friends really got your back, And like you said,
you know, God gives you these lessons and you got
to you got to absorb it. You got to say, oh,
I got to change this to that A step a game.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
But not everybody does it. You know, you get you
get the fall and you get up, and people don't
learn the lesson. And many times I fell and got
up and I made the same mistakes and fell back again.
But this moment, there was a shift, when I was
sixty four years old to make a comeback. Actually, when
you and I met that that wallace in La you know,
(11:29):
and and I reached out to you, like like on Instagram,
I want to meet you, I want to see you.
And there was a shift there that I felt like
it was I'm changing it, I'm learning from my mistakes,
and I want to be better. I want to be
and I understand that there was up to that point,
I never saw myself having a place in the culture,
(11:51):
which I respected from day one. I stayed consistent from
day one, and I stayed in one lane. I never
went for the big money and the big sellouts. Different things.
And even when I did NASCAR, which was anti culture
in a way, like because it was such not you
doin things that the kids in the street with wear
and Nascar stuff. I brought it to the streets and
(12:11):
where it became. Everybody was wearing the m and ms
and the tides and the and thed on hard stuff.
And people had no idea that that on heart was
bigger than Michael Jorn at the time, you know, as
far as as far as a certain segment of the population.
And it just and that realization for me to understand
when I start coming in in like six five six
(12:33):
years ago and going tomms like they they in Brooklyn
at Braket Center and young kids seventeen years old, that
you know that we're not even born. When when Kobe
had that moment and I said, what's up, legend such
and honor to me, just me for what I mean.
(12:55):
I only did it for the money at the time,
and I started appreciating more that and it wasn't a
Nego stuff. And when people come and ask me to
a picture they think I make them happy, they understand
that they're making me happy. They basically a validation of
all the hard work and passion that put behind it.
They give me the seal of the stent of approoval
sepoovo for all of what we do.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
That's how I feel when I see Jeff Hamilton. I
feel like Jeff Hamilton.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
You know what I'm saying. That's just me, you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Like Jaggers was like a roll.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
It's like you made it when you got to jeffan Oh, yeah,
because you said because you you you said genesis of this.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
You had to have money to walk in Genesis and
buy a real leather Like there was levels you had,
j Man, you had the last year, and then you
get the Genesis. Then you get to another level. Who
are some of the designers that you've seen come up?
And you had no clue they were going to get
big like that, and you was like wow.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I mean the thesiest one is this is the first
bell that Chromheart ever made, first one first like top
top five. I mean I probably this is like, I mean,
I've been offered stupid money for that. But you know, Richard,
you know when I had guest Jeans, I mean he
was a salesman that was selling me leather. So because
(14:14):
I came at the time in the eighties when I came,
I want to make the denims, so I wanted to
do something different, So I made the denim jeans with
the leather parts of part of it. I did the
jackets with the leather on it, which nobody had done.
So I was buying crazy, crazy quantities of leather. And
then he was a wrap and it was and I
loved him because he was like riding on his holley
(14:35):
and coming to the office with the long hair. My
hair was long. We were all rock and rollers, and
it was I'd rather give him the business that didn't
give them the bis to the guys from back east.
I were the white dudes that were all square with
a suit and tie, and it was just like I
felt it. And you know, just mind you. I'm like
twenty five years old and I'm running up four hundred
employees working and I'm learning every day on the business
(14:57):
because like I said, I didn't know how to design.
I became a designer by necessity because I didn't like
the way that the people were doing it. So I
went to my clothes and I started pulling stuff out
and and tried studying myself, and I said, I don't
want to do that. I like that pocket, I want
to do that bucket on the gen and I start
creating stuff, and then of course organically became more an
(15:18):
urban brand for me. You know, I never even though
the guests wanted to be more department stores, sacks, Bloomingdale's,
you know, naming marketing myself. I started selling stuff in
Detroit in the malls. Well like there was all the
all the guys with the fur coats and the jewelry,
way before the great players, yeah, the real players, I mean,
and and then we just start getting that and and
(15:40):
and it just became viral. And we had no Instagram,
we had no advertising. Everything just came from word of mouth.
And because we had the first one to do uh
black fashion, uh crazy sizes and stuff like that. So
so crom Art is probably the biggest one that and
then and they were well deserved because I mean it's
(16:03):
beautiful what they've done and the hype that they've done,
I mean better. But it was like guys like true religion,
they were they were for me. I mean, uh seven
jeens that were for me, Citizens of humanity, they were
for me. I've worked with the guys from Jay Brandt.
I mean all those guys at one point in time,
they all have I've touched all those guys, you know,
(16:25):
like even even a gallery department. I mean, he was
my sales rap that when I was buying you know,
ro Lauren, who was my favorite designer by the way,
still is My favorite designer is raf Flauren. And for me,
it's like the goat of goats when it comes to fashion.
I'd like to think that I had my inprinted a
little bit all along the way with a lot of designers.
(16:45):
There's always a point of reference that I have. I mean,
this is a forty five year career that I've had
and still working fifteen hours a day, seven days a week,
and and I'll go out. I mean, I mean on
Instagram it looks like I'm having fun, which i am.
I'm having fun, I'm but you know, there's a grinding.
There's a grind behind everything. There is, Like Monday morning,
(17:09):
I'll be at eight o'clock on my computer, I close
my door, i won't leave my office till six pm,
and I'll do everything from steal accounting, steal production, still sainfall,

and the guns, I want to do my long hair
a skeleton of my face, and I want two microphones.
And he came in and he came into my hotel,
and I delivered the jacket, and he put the big
check book. Remember we had the three part check books.
And he put the check book, wrote the check, carried
the balance, and they did it all himself. And he

game up. Because now because I got a problem, I
got a fashion problem, spend too much money. I love
it too much. But now you made me I got
some crocodiles. But now because you told me it's the
most expensive, I'm gonna start looking for some crocodile. Whatever
(26:33):
fur I need to come in here with the glowing,
the dark crocodile.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
I take it to that because because you know it's
certain things self explained to me.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
With crocodile, they already know it is.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yes, you don't need mouthough, you don't need the logo
you don't need anything. You don't need nothing, you need
the right crocodile.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
You know what. You know what I did. I'm not
going to say the designer right. You can say this.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
No, no, I don't want to say it right because
he's a nice guy. But I called this you want
me to say, Okay. So I went to do a
show for Philip Plyin, right, Phillip, that's your guy. Philip
Plyin looks like the richest guy in the world, right,
and he probably is right.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
But he told me.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
He took me your story. He said, anything you want, Joe,
and it was a crocodile.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
That's it. He said, Oh no, Joe, nothing anything but that.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
I said, Philip blind, you're the richest guy in the world.
You told me to pick, he said, Joe, this is
my show. He said, you take that. I have nothing
to show like this is a I'll saying yo. But
you know, I went for the bat. I went for
the gusto. I went for the bigod.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I did one for Arnold Trussenegger through Bijon, and that
was for for like a blazer. Even even like something
like that like that directly would be like thirty five
forty grand.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
You should have saw this guy earlier had the camera flage.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I got that that look good down to your ankle.
What I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
That was that was really good. That looked good. The
whole fits, the whole fit.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Was crazy, right. You know.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Sometimes you know, like the other day something I'm a
big fan of. We are it's boat taking. Take a
lot of urban don't understand botaka like that. They don't
know what that thing right now they're starting, Yeah, they're
starting to know. Yet, scammers hustled. You got people always
want like me. I just said, Yo, the you got
(28:47):
guys who want the best.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
No matter what it is. They're like, oh, that's the
ship I need to get.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
And so that moving print, that that woven fabric, it's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
I seen Cardi b at the football game.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
With the the burgundy and then she had all the
way down to the boots, all the way down.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
To the even the sunglasses are beautiful. I mean, I
just you know, the beautiful stuff. I mean. But the
key when it comes to to to branding and fashion
branding and luxury branding is number one. You have to
flex for yourself. You buying it because you love it yourself.
You know, if you you love it yourself and you
put it on yourself and you feel good when you
(29:25):
loo cuts up in the mirror, then you the game
is don of course, you want people to see your
your watch and you step. You know, I could tell you,
but it has to become from you, to become authentic, course,
to come from you. We like that people follow up
and then then people recognize it.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
You know, let me tell you something, Jeff right, because
I have a real problem with fashion, spending money on fashion.
I've spent so much money on fashion, but one place
I've always been able to walk down of Fendy Ferns
to be on the best Ferns, the best I don't
(30:04):
want to say.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
I could never afford it, but it's so expensive. I
never pulled the trigger.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
I have walked out the store, seen stuff that I
really won, and I said, walked it off, went out.
But recently, maybe like a month ago, I finally bought
my Fendy fir and it felt so good. I felt
like I accomplished something in lightless for you. I mean,
after everything I ever bought in my life. I started
(30:31):
bragging the people I was like, I did it, and
they was like shay, y'all. Jim Jones' wife, Chrisy my sister.
I said, Chrissy, man, she was at my house with
my wife. I said, Chrissy, I did it. She said
what you mean. I said, maybe twenty years I walked
out of Fendy. I loved every fer, but never pulled
the trigger.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
I said, I fucking pulled the trigger.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
And she said, yeah, Joe, you took it to the max.
I said, yeah, I took it to the backs.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
The best thing about Jeff Hamilton is everything in quality.
Every jacket I ever got from you is just supreme quality.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
You know, it's quality.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Timis and you know you put in so much work
in the game that people got to salute you and
just be like you know, and everything comes back right
in fashion. Nowadays, my daughter dresses my nephew's dress and
they try to show me stuff that we wore in
(31:28):
ninety two to be like, yo, this is the new
wave we got to fly to be like y'o hole, I.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Throw the flag on the plank like y'all. Oh man,
I told you, you know what I did the other day.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Somebody right, I can't Okay, somebody wore this beautiful fur,
a white fur, right.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
I'll tell you it's ay sat ferg Right, who I
love very much. He wore this. He did it right.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
He wore this white mink to his ankle with their
visus and all that. And I went to look through
my pictures because I remember I wore that white mink before,
back like twenty something years ago, I said, caught around
my stylus, I said, yo, te you remember the time
I rocked the white mink this? He was like, yes, brother,
that was like the day before the MTV or all
(32:16):
the Grammys. We looked for that ship and I found
that fucking bitch a where I wore that white mink.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
I said, yeah, I wore.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
That shit before, like I just knew. But we love
getting flied. We love staying fresh, you know recipes. My
brother Clark can't. He had this thing. I think it
was called addicted to Fresh, and he'd be like, y'all,
I don't care. I'm just addicted to fresh, and you,
my friend Jeff Hamilton, are addicted to fresh.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
