R& B Singer Launches New Clothing Line, “Jeff Redd Apparel”
He’s known for looking dapper on stage, and now New Jack Swing singer Jeff Redd is bringing his sharp suits to the masses.
The singer, known for his hit “You Called and Told Me,” from the “Strictly Business” soundtrack, has launched his own line of custom made suits, called “Jeff Redd Apparel.”
Redd said his look was inspired by the performers he watched growing up, like The Temptations, James Brown and Jackie Wilson.
“Those guys were always dressed on stage, and I wanted to bring that concept to my apparel,” Redd told BOSSIP. “I’m just taking a page out of the 60s and 70s when guys would get dressed up…It’s really about bring the man back to being a gentleman.”

But Redd said the line will also be affordable, with suit jackets costing around $125 and entire suits retailing for about $200.
“With custom made, you don’t have to spend an arm and a leg for it,” Redd said. “Everything for me doesn’t always have to be overpriced.”
The Mount Vernon-raised crooner said he’s getting the clothing line for previews later on this summer and plans to launch it through his website in the fall.
He also said he’d like to eventually branch out into accessories and skin care.
