We spoke with Jesse Scotland, the Owner and Visionary behind First King Clothing Co. to learn more about how he plans to redefine fashion for all ages.
What is your business called and what does it do?
First King Clothing Co. was founded in 2017 and has swiftly emerged as a dynamic online clothing business based in the Greater Toronto Area. This remarkable journey began as a spark of inspiration for me, who recognized at an early age, the ever-evolving tapestry of contemporary fashion trends and made a decision to translate that inspiration into an accessible and vibrant clothing brand that appeals to individuals from all walks of life.
The name “First King Clothing” is personal and has symbolic importance. Being the first and only son in the family, I wanted a name that reflected my unique position and passion for clothing. What sets this venture apart is its remarkable versatility, offering a comprehensive variety of attire that caters to a diverse clientele. From the latest streetwear trends that resonate with the youth to meticulously designed trench coats tailored exclusively for men, First King Clothing Co. has left no fashion stone unturned. What’s truly commendable is the company’s commitment to inclusivity, as it extends its creative prowess to clothing lines for men, women, and children alike, ensuring that fashion knows no age or gender boundaries.
What made you want to do this work?
First King Clothing Co. is not just a business venture for me, it’s a manifestation of my love for fashion which has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. My passion for fashion isn’t just limited by mere-trends – it’s an integral part of my identity at this point. My journey with First King Clothing Co. has been an extraordinary opportunity to share my passion with the world and witness the transformative power of clothing in people’s lives. I cherish the fact that my visions and creations have become a canvas in which individuals express their unique personalities and styles. In essence, First King Clothing Co. embodies not only my entrepreneurial spirit but also taught me that it’s not just about selling clothing; it’s about fostering a community where fashion becomes a means of self-expression, empowering individuals to embrace their individuality and make a statement through what they wear.
What problem did you want to solve with the business?
When I first created First King Clothing Co., my mission was to create a brand that sets it apart from the larger, more established brand names in the fashion industry. It was founded on the principle that high fashion shouldn’t come at an extravagant price tag. I made a commitment to democratize fashion, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their budget, can have access to clothing that not only looks and feels high fashion but also allows them to express their unique tastes and personalities. In essence, First King Clothing Co. embodies my belief that fashion should be inclusive and attainable.
Who are your clientele/demographics?
First King Clothing Co. stands as a brand of inclusivity and accessibility in the fashion industry, with absolutely no restrictions on its clientele or demographics. My brand caters to the needs of people, no matter their age or gender. Although located in the Greater Toronto Area, I proudly promote diversity and multicultural essence with my business.

What is the best question a prospective customer could ask a member of your profession when comparing services?
When comparing services within the fashion industry, one of the best questions a prospective customer could ask is, “What sets First King Clothing Co. apart from other brands?” First King Clothing Co. is not just a brand, it’s a lifestyle.

The most gratifying part of working at First King Clothing Co. is witnessing our customers enjoy the brand and use it as a canvas to express their unique personalities and embrace their newfound sense of comfort and confidence. It’s incredibly rewarding to know that our clothes play a part in enhancing self-expression through fashion. However, every business has its challenges and for us, the toughest moments come when we’re crafting new ideas. There’s a
constant battle with overthinking, a fear that our innovations may not resonate with our beloved community as we hope. Yet, it’s in these moments of doubt and uncertainty that we find the motivation to push ourselves further, ultimately leading to the creation of fresh, exciting concepts that keep us evolving and relevant in the world of fashion.
