The Menswear Map: Clothing, Accessories, and Services in San Francisco (Updated 2019)

January 17, 2019 No Comments

A lot can happen in four and a half years. This was particularly apparent in the “Menswear Map” I made in 2014, which was in dire need of an update. Many new stores have appeared in the area, many have shut their doors, and a good handful have found new addresses in the city. With that in mind, I’ve refreshed this super cool interactive map that should help everyone out, whether you’re just in town for the afternoon or you’re a seasoned local looking for a new place to get a haircut.

What I Wore: Portrait in Jazz

Styleforum recently re-introduced their Friday Challenge, which is a weekly competition for members to dress in a theme and win internet points.

how to find perfect summer sportcoat blazer

Mid-summer may seem like the least appealing time of year to wear tailored clothing, but the opportunities (and obligations) are everywhere – weddings, vacations, and other summery social events often benefit from (or require) a certain level of formality. While wearing a full suit and tie can indeed be a bit stifling, I have found that sportcoats are a great middle ground – put-together enough to look good, but not nearly as stuffy or unpleasant as the full rig.

November in Paris

November 11, 2015 1 Comment

While I was in Paris last week I decided to bust out this “new” suit – it’s something I commissioned from Beckett & Robb about a year ago, but due to some delays and errors from the factory I didn’t receive it until the summer. Now that the weather is finally getting cooler I’m hoping I’ll […]

Apologies for the radio silence recently – I’ve been busy with a few things, but most notable is the fact that I’ve been out of the country for the last week. I plan on getting back to my regular posting schedule somewhat soon, but in the meantime here’s what I brought with me: Navy flannel […]

What I Wore: Vegas Menswear Shows

February 24, 2015 No Comments

I’ve been traveling quite a bit in the last few weeks for clothing trade shows, and in doing so I’ve had the good fortune of spending more time with many industry veterans. For instance, my most recent trip to Las Vegas gave me another opportunity to catch up with the good folks over at Articles […]
