Vincent Metais is the President of Suixtil.  After spending 15 years focusing on the cultural and business operations in the Asia-Pacific marketplace he set out on a new adventure.  Six years ago Vincent re-launched Suixtil, a well-known clothing brand in Argentina during the 40s and 50s that tailored high quality gentlemen’s suites and race wear.  Suixtil was worn by the famous Argentinean racers known as the “Armada” team.  The drivers included Fangio, Campos, Gonzalez, and Marimon who all wore Suixtil to victory.  Vincent has brought this brand back to life along with its history and focus on high quality for those who want to enjoy the best that life has to offer.

  1. Great interview Mark and Vincent. Loved it. One update regarding where you can find Suixtil in Monterey next month, we will be at Automoblia Monterey, Aug 12-13 and RetroAuto Aug 14-16. We will not be able to be at the Pre-Reunion as mentioned during the interview. Maybe next year!
