NAME: Josh Rosen

OCCUPATION: Owner of New York-based Saturdays Surf

 STYLE ICONS: Takashi Kumagai, Ian Bradley, my dad, Ralph Lauren.

MOST RECENT PURCHASE: We recently opened a Saturdays store in Japan. On my last trip there I bought an amazing wood bowl from Jantique as well as my new favorite hanky.

FAVORITE SHOPS ONLINE: Mr. Porter, Hobbyzone, Amazon

CARRY ON OR CHECK IN: Carry on until you can’t.

REQUIRED READING: Xanax and a movie. Not a big reader.

REQUIRED LISTENING: I’m sleeping by this point.

PLANE INDULGENCE: Sometimes I will get an In Touch and an Economist. The Economist makes me feel okay about the In Touch. I like a jack and coke, or a Bloody Mary with my Xanax to whisk me away to sleepy town.

PACKING STRATEGY: From the first time I packed anything it was minutes before I left.

TRAVEL UNIFORM: I like the idea of looking nice on the plane. I try to remember to wear socks so I can take my shoes off without bumming out everyone around me. Smelling nice is also cool. Sitting next to a stinky person for 17 hours can change you.

WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO NEXT: Headed home to Seattle, Washington to sit on my mom’s porch and drink whisky. Then a drive up to Whistler to snowboard on a glacier and hang with friends that I never get to see. —Interview by Nandita Khanna
