Suited Up with Derek Bleazard

Derek is the owner and co-founder of Beckett and Robb, a made-to-measure custom men’s clothing business, sourcing materials and production from England and Italy. He grew up in Boise Idaho playing every sport he could get his hands on. His basketball coach was very disappointed in the growth spurt he experienced after high school while on an LDS mission. “Where was that height 3 years ago??” . He served a mission to Caracas, Venezuela, and met his wife Tara afterwards while they were teaching Spanish at the Missionary Training Center. They have 4 amazing kids. They love to travel and camp together.  Derek is incredibly coordinated and picked up cycling when his wife signed them up for the Spudman triathlon after they moved back to Utah from the Bay Area. Less than 3 years later he was doing half Ironmans and on the podium at Lotoja. Like most of us, he likes gear (especially bike gear, ski gear, and modifications to his RAM truck). His business is world class men’s clothing with the highest quality fabrics and tailoring found anywhere. Beyond that, he provides his clients direction on making sure they have the perfect look they are after. He is cognizant of every detail and can dress a 20 year old hipster, a newly returned missionary, a boardroom executive, a tech mogul, NBA or other professional athletes, a working professional, or boring church dads.  His work after a degree from BYU included both business and clothing. Derek has always been interested in clothing but has a unique ability to do a deep dive once he gets passionate about something. (Ask him about how he perfected the Neapolitan pizza he makes from scratch.) His low level OCD makes him the perfect suit guy and bike buddy. It’s likely that Derek has done the deep dive on nearly everything he rides, drives, or wears, which makes him a fountain of information. And maybe most importantly, he is one of the most loyal and considerate friends you could ever have.
