Fourth Of July Weekend Sales
The summer sale season is upon us – here are a few quick picks from brands that I’m looking to purchase from to fill out my summer wardrobe. These sales are ending soon, so act fast if there’s something you like. If the thing you’re looking at sells out, it might be because I bought […]
What I Wore: Heat Wave
San Francisco has been unbearably hot for the past few days. While summer temperatures hovering around 100 degrees may be common in many parts on the United States, it’s exceedingly rare here. And what makes it exponentially worse is that the city is wholly unprepared for it – nobody has air conditioning, restaurants have to close because the food spoils, the power goes out, and more. It’s not great. […]
Wool For Warm Weather
Now that most of us are easing into the warmer months we’re beginning to once again hear quite a bit about classic spring/summer fabrics – in particular, popular plant fibers like cotton and linen. Since we’re now in the peak of wedding season prep (and many guys are on a hunt for tailored clothing that will keep them from sweating too much during all those outdoor ceremonies) it’s worth discussing how each of these fibers affects overall comfort, breathability, and appearance.

Fall Favorites – 10 Essential Autumn Items
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. Here are my go-to pieces for the cool weather ahead: […]
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. I generally sit these out, but this week had a theme that I couldn’t help but try – emulate an album cover. I decided to throw my hat in the ring, and this is the result. […]
Spring in San Francisco
With the recent passage of Memorial Day Weekend, we’re officially in white pants season (not that I ever really paid attention to that rule to begin with) – I took the opportunity to bring out some new and old favorites for the warmer spring weather we’re currently enjoying.
What I Wore: Spring Break
Tropical getaways aren’t really my go-to vacation, but my girlfriend was born and raised in Hawaii and so we hop over to the islands every now and again to visit her family and enjoy the change of scenery. Like any person with Scottish and Irish blood, I don’t do great in the sun and heat so I’m always looking to keep cool and somewhat protected from the harsh sun.
What I Wore: Cold Snap
It was weirdly cold in San Francisco last week – not nearly as cold as most of the northern hemisphere right now, but colder than usual. The temperatures have been in the 40s (even dipping into the 30s at night!), which has allowed me to wear some pieces of mine that don’t get the attention they deserve. […]
What I Wore: West Coast Ivy
I’ve been experimenting with the polarizing denim-and-blazer look a bit lately, and while it may not ever become a central part of my style it’s worked out better than I initially thought. As with many menswear-y things, getting this look to work is more about finding the right pieces than anything else. […]
Buying Guide: The Wild West(ern shirt)
Perhaps it’s because I just got back from a week in Montana, or possibly because I haven’t been getting dressed up much lately, but I’ve developed a hankering for denim and chambray shirts. Not the kind that you wear under a blazer – I’ve got those – but something deeply casual, well-worn, and with a bit of an “Old West” vibe.
