Simple style advice for the modern man.
In what seems to be a rite of passage in the world of menswear, I recently returned from a trip to Japan. All roads inevitably end here when it comes to niche hobbies—it doesn’t matter if you’re into fashion, food, or flower arrangements. I split my time between Tokyo and Kyoto, and found both cities to be wonderful and absolutely packed with things to explore. […]
I’ll be honest – I haven’t been in the mood to write lately. Processing everything that’s going on in the world is hard enough as is, and going through this lockdown alone has made the changes particularly intense. Writing about clothing just hasn’t felt important with everything else that’s happening. But as the initial shock […]
Last spring I put together a buying guide for penny loafers. Since then my tastes in loafers have only gotten more wild, and I’ve started to spend a lot of time thinking about tassel loafers. While the penny loafer is a bit of an understated classic, the tassel boasts a similar pedigree but with a bit more of an attitude. […]
Just a heads up – this sale code still works and stock is still pretty good (especially on the Alden styles). I don’t know when the code will expire but now is still a great time to get into some excellent spring footwear! – The biggest disadvantage of playing the sales game is that usually […]
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.
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: […]
If you read my recent shoe collection post you know that I like longwings quite a bit. They’re an incredibly versatile shoe style, and over the years I’ve collected four pairs from four prominent brands. Since I know I’m not the only one interested in this style of footwear I thought I’d dive in to the details and compare the various aspects of each one – each have their little nuances that make them unique in their own way. […]
I was recently doing a bit of deep cleaning and reorganizing in my apartment, which led me to take all of my shoes out of their little hutch and move them onto the floor. It had been a long time since I’d seen them all laid out like that in one place, so I decided to take stock of everything and see how my collection looked as a whole. […]
$100 off $300, $200 off $500 with code SP18BC – In a rather convenient turn of events given my recent post on where to buy penny loafers, Brooks Brothers is offering what is likely one of their best sales of the year. $200 off of $500 is a very strong 40% off, and although $300+ spent […]
In celebration of the good weather we’re having here on the West Coast I thought I’d write a roundup on one of my favorite shoe styles – the penny loafer. This list covers all of my favorite styles, as well as many other options at a variety of price points. […]
