Todd Snyder has partnered with Balmoral Defender, a bespoke auto restorer that sources vintage Land Rovers and re-engineers them from the tires up. The result is a car that drives like new, yet retains the charm of the original. For the Todd Snyder Edition, the New York-based menswear designer worked with Balmoral’s team — master leather craftsmen in Andalucia, Spain, second-generation Rover restoration experts in England’s Cotswolds, and mechanics in the United States — to create a collectible that showcases Snyder’s love of tailoring.
