Simple style advice for the modern man.
In what seems to be a rite of passage in the world of menswear, I recently returned from a trip to Japan. All roads inevitably end here when it comes to niche hobbies—it doesn’t matter if you’re into fashion, food, or flower arrangements. I split my time between Tokyo and Kyoto, and found both cities to be wonderful and absolutely packed with things to explore. […]
I’m spending the week in small-town Montana, located a couple hours from the comparatively buzzing metropolises of Bozeman and Missoula. Though the total population may be less than the city block that I currently live on, the town takes the Labor Day rodeo and festivities very seriously. I’m sure I’ll stick out like the Californian […]
I just got back from another great trip to Santa Fe with my good friend Gus as my tour guide. I’ll have more to share about some local collectors and makers in the coming weeks, but in the meantime wanted to show how my packing list from last week played out. […]
Tomorrow my girlfriend and I are heading east to spend a few days in Santa Fe with my good friend Gus. We’ll be hunting for vintage apparel and jewelry, meeting with local artisans and collectors, and will undoubtedly be enjoying some margaritas and hatch chilis along the way. This feels like the ideal time to pull out all my western-inspired gear and go “full yee-haw” for a long weekend. […]
I had a great time relaxing in Paris earlier this month – I spent the week walking the city, eating and drinking with friends, and exploring the many opportunities that the weak Euro offered. I didn’t pack that much so my outfits were pretty simple, and this one was probably the one I reached for the most – denim, oxford shirt, and a flannel sportcoat. […]
It’s taken much longer than anticipated for me to return to Europe, but after five years away I’m about to head back. I’ll be staying in Paris for about a week, and will have a quick jaunt over to London as well. And while I always strive to only bring a carryon, this time around I had an additional incentive to pack light – both the Euro and the Pound are getting, well, pounded right now. […]
Although I’ve been traveling a good amount over the past year or so, I haven’t taken the time to post much about it here. Time to change that with a recent weekend trip to Mexico City. […]
I feel like there have been two types of menswear guys in quarantine – the sartorial guys who have downgraded from sportcoats and trousers to denim and sweaters, and everybody else who has been wearing nothing but sweatpants for the past year (the folks who are still wearing tailored clothing “just because”….well, I don’t know what to say about that). While my loungewear consumption has definitely gone up, I still find myself wearing a lot of denim – even moreso as my lifestyle slowly creeps back to a bit of normalcy. […]
I spent most of last week in New Mexico, visiting my good friend Gus. We looked at a lot of vintage rugs and jewelry, ate a significant amount of food with chiles on it, and drank a few margaritas at 7,200 feet. Santa Fe is a funky, artsy, town with some wonderful history and a […]
I just returned from a work trip to New York – I didn’t have a ton of time to explore the city on this trip, but it was still a nice change of pace from San Francisco. Weather-wise, I got a bit of everything – some sun, some rain, some cold mornings and warm afternoons. […]
