About · Method and independence

Our Editorial Ground

Squad Brick Meadow began with a simple habit: looking at clothes from ten centimetres away before forming an opinion from ten metres away.

Evidence first, context second

Every article starts with physical observation: seams, weights, weaves, stitches and hardware. Only then do we connect those details to proportion, construction and cultural meaning. We mark the difference between what we saw and what we interpret.

Names, dates and places are checked against published sources such as museum materials, company histories and documented interviews. Where accounts disagree, which is common in early streetwear history, we say so.
