The Hounds is a style collective of university students.
It is a place for their stories, dreams and aspirations as they navigate their lives and the style journey ahead of them.
It is also a place to get started learning about the how-tos of men’s style, brands of integrity, tailors and artisanal clothiers, and about the men of character who inspire The Hounds.
It is at The Hounds where a man begins.
Welcome to The Hounds.

The Team
William’s style journey began with a book on the life of Cary Grant, one of the great style icons of the 20th century.
It is therefore unsurprising that William’s style can be best described as ‘by the book’- the question is which book? Often found in jackets and suits made from rustic flannel and tweeds juxtaposed with Lovecraftian pocket squares and occult themed accessories William’s style is Miskatonic.
William adheres to the belief that a well-dressed gentleman can get away with anything. This he explains, is why he hasn’t been arrested yet.
Michael Nguyen
Michael “Mike” Nguyen wears classic menswear like streetwear: sneakers become loafers, jeans become khakis, sports jackets become…sports jackets?
Bringing a modern, eclectic perspective to The Hounds Mike is constantly refining his knowledge of menswear to express his unique street-sartorial vision.
Someday Mike would like to find a stylish European girl to bring home to mom.
From Deniliquin, a town in the Riverina region of New South Wales, Tom understands the values of authenticity, integrity and provenance.
Soft shouldered jackets, warm pastels and subtle motifs characterise Tom’s thoughtful aesthetic and reflect his modest approach to life.
According to Tom real style is created by people with individuality and authenticity, not transient fads or marketing departments.
David Nguyen
David’s interest in style began in his teenage years with his desire to find ways to make clothes look good on him leading to an obsession with fit and proportions.
Subtle with a floral handkerchief and (sometimes, perhaps too frequently) loud with his polka-dotted hosiery, David believes that classic menswear shouldn’t be boring and neither should he.
Possessed of very particular tastes, David will stop at nothing for the perfect pair of long wings to the despair of many a shoe salesman.
