Simple style advice for the modern man.
My email inbox is in a sorry state. Every day I get hundreds of promotional emails, each begging me to increase their open rate by teasing me with intriguing subject lines. I’ve gotten pretty good at ignoring them (as I’m sure many of us have), but there is one subject line that cuts through all the noise. When Proper Cloth sends out an email about “Our Heaviest Shirts Yet,” you’d better believe that I’ll be boosting their conversion rate. […]
The Bay Area had a brief taste of autumnal weather this past weekend, and I took full advantage of it by wearing a few of my favorite casual pieces. Although I have yet to go “full workwear” with my wardrobe, my Western-inspired garments have been a core part of the rotation for these deeply casual […]
Five years ago I wrote a series on my favorite pieces from each season. A lot of those items are still near and dear to me, but I thought it would be worth updating things to reflect my current lifestyle and wardrobe. My fall favorites have changed a bit, but many of the concepts are still the same – textured materials, earthy colors, and a bit of protection from inclement weather.

A quick update on my little project – like I mentioned previously, I’ve been working with Panta and styleforumnet to do a special run of Panta’s popular madder-patterned ties. The preorder is now live, and we’ve already sold over 200 ties. We have 5 swatches available, and are also offering two widths and two lengths. […]
It’s been difficult for me to start thinking about fall because San Francisco is just now leaving its second winter (“Fogust”) and things are finally getting warm here. Nonetheless, most of us are entering a period of sartorial transition by slowly trading in linens and loafers for tweed and suede. To me, Autumn is about […]
While I was home over the weekend I took another look through my grandpa’s old closet. These are some of my favorites: two vintage Harris Tweed blazers with a 3-roll-2 button stance, natural shoulders, quarter lining, and thick horn buttons. One is a classic brown/tan herringbone, the other is a large scale grey and red […]
