Barron reportedly heard about the company through social media influencer and entrepreneur Justin Waller. "Justin said he wanted to introduce me to Barron. Literally a week later I was on a flight down to Mar-a-Lago," Nathan told WWD in a recent interview.
The college student then traveled solo to visit Louisiana — the home base for the start-up — where the two picked out the fabrics and the detailing of the suit and the coat.
"He's this super-bright kid. He's well beyond his years in terms of experience, knowledge, history. He's just very fascinating to talk to," the suit maker said, adding how Barron is extremely passionate about fashion.

"You know what is another word I would say [about him]? Hospitable. He is down-to-earth, nice as can be and hospitable," Nathan added, while noting how Barron profusely thanked him when he made the trip to Palm Beach, Fla. "I've thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him."
"I recognize that Barron Trump could be choosing from tailors all over the world and he chose me and Pearce Bespoke. I'm super-grateful and super-proud of that," he emphasized.

"He's hilarious. But as I said, he's super-sharp. You put him in a room with star businessmen and he will hold his own. He can talk to them all day because he's witty, smart and has a dry sense of humor," the designer explained.

Despite the controversy of the new administration, Donald, 78, and Melania Trump's only child has been praised for his class and decorum.

In a viral moment from the inauguration, Barron greeted and shook hands with former President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris.
"Direct eye contact and a handshake. A respectful thing. Young men don't do this very often nowadays," one social media user commented below a YouTube video of the bi-partisan moment.
"Barron showed so much grace in class. His mama raised him to be respectful even in the face of adversity. She should be proud of him. He grew up to be a fine young man and he resembles Trump when Trump was young. You should take a bow Melania, you did a fine job raising Barron," another wrote.

"Barron is so classy and knows how to act respectfully," a third pointed out.
The young adult is currently a student at New York University. When the new first lady, 54, was recently asked how often Barron would be at the White House, she told Fox News, "I think he will come and visit."

Despite her official duties, Melania explained she would split her time between cities to ensure she's present for Barron as he navigates college.
"I will be in the White House. And when I need to be in New York, I will be in New York," she said. "When I need to be in Palm Beach, I will be in Palm Beach. My first priority is to be a mom, to be a first lady, to be a wife."

Although Donald's family is expected to be in the nation's capital most of the time, Melania will take her cues from Barron from now on.
"I feel as children, we have them till they are 18, 19 years old. We teach them, we guide them, and then we give them the wings to fly," the former model noted.
"I always respect Barron's yes and no, and what he likes to do, where he would like to be," she added.
