Simple style advice for the modern man.
It seems that one of the favorite pastimes of menswear bloggers (myself included) is creating lists of “essentials.” It’s definitely a fun exercise, and helps you really think about what constitutes a necessary piece of clothing. For those types of items, I’ve found that it can be worth saving up a bit more to buy […]
I was recently chatting with my friend Phil Kalas, who owns Ashland Leather and runs operations over at Horween. Because of his special relationship with the Horween tannery (he’s worked there for about a decade), Phil has a vast knowledge of leather and always seems to have access to some unique and rare hides. We were […]
I have often used this blog as a platform to complain about San Francisco’s mild weather; it does feel a bit cruel to do that while the rest of the country has had a winter of epic proportions, but it’s true that living in a place that is 65 degrees almost every day can become […]
Many of you will recognize the gentleman above as Will Boehlke, the man behind ’A Suitable Wardrobe’. Will started the ASW blog in 2006 (back before many menswear bloggers were old enough to drive), and in the years since he has created an accompanying e-store with some of the finest apparel and accessories in the […]
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.

Fortunately, there are quotes around it, so I’m sure […]
Like many people that read this blog, one of my favorite pastimes is researching an item of clothing in search of the “perfect one” – the piece that will be the ultimate addition to my wardrobe. I do this in part because I try to keep my wardrobe relatively simple and utilitarian, but also because […]
When I was in New York in January I made a point to stop by the No Man Walks Alone HQ on 37th St. to say hello to Greg and Kyle and to check out their current stock. The small team always has an incredible selection of items in their showroom, and although the prices […]
Those of you that follow me on instagram or twitter already know that I spent most of last week in New York attending clothing trade shows. A big part of my new job is building relationships with vendors and staying on top of their upcoming products, so I’ll be attending a good number of these shows […]
