Simple style advice for the modern man.
The folks at Wingtip in San Francisco have been stepping up their game in a big way over the past few months. They have been attracting some serious talent to their store, and that can be seen in the dual trunk show going on now. Phillip Carr of Saint Crispins and Salvatore Ambrosi will be at Wingtip […]
A little while back I was contacted by East Dane, who asked me if I was interested in facilitating a giveaway. They offered to give my readers four $50 gift cards (and one gift card for myself); so I decided to take the plunge. East Dane launched last year as the male counterpart to ShopBop, a large force in […]
At this point, most of you are probably familiar with Suitsupply, the Dutch menswear darling that has been crushing the $400-$700 suit market (you can see my reviews here and here). In the last few years, the company has made serious progress in their plans for world domination; however, their presence in California has been surprisingly nonexistent. A San Francisco store […]
This one is for the SF and NYC locals only and involves getting out of your chair and going outside. Eidos Napoli, the newest menswear darling, will be discounted in those two Bloomingdales by 40% from today until Sunday (they are the only Bloomingdales stores that stock Eidos). This puts sportcoats around $570+ and suits somewhere around […]
I’ve spent more time than I’d like to admit reading online clothing forums and men’s style blogs. Each site has something different to offer, but one thing that I have noticed is that there is a significant amount of repetition between them. From the stodgy trads at Ask Andy About Clothes to the tech-savvy noobs at Reddit […]
I started this blog May 6, 2012, after attending the Styleforum 10 Year Anniversary party and meeting several great people in the “hashtag-menswear” community. I wanted to keep in touch with all these fun folks so I created tumblr blog to stay in the loop. I slowly began to use it as a place to write, since […]
This one’s for the Bay Area shoe aficionados – Phillip Car of St. Crispin’s will be holding a trunk show at Wingtip on Montgomery St. today. There are dozens of ready to wear models to browse in the store, and orders for custom shoes can be made as well. I had the opportunity to chat […]
A few weeks ago I had the good fortune of meeting up with Dan and Alex of TSBMen and working with them to create an editorial discussing my personal style. On the off chance that you aren’t familiar with TSBMen (formerly The Style Blogger), the site was created by Dan Trepanier about 5 years ago […]
Some of you may remember the unfortunate tale of the Allen Edmonds Amok; the shoe was hit hard on release due to some construction issues that created a squeak when worn. Allen Edmonds fixed the issue, but the damage was done and the shoes proved hard to sell. Eventually, the shoes moved to the clearance […]
Last week I stopped by the Beckett & Robb showroom in San Francisco to say hello and check out their newest items – a small run or ready-to-wear blazers. As my readers may recall, Beckett & Robb specializes in made-to-measure tailored clothing; you can read about the suit I purchased here. This run of blazers […]
