Simple style advice for the modern man.
If you ask a menswear guy what the coolest part of his wardrobe is, the answer will usually be one of two things – shoes or outerwear. And it’s not surprising, really; these are the two places where you can really define your style with strong pieces, and where investing in something nice will offer great returns. […]
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.
It’s been a while since I wrote about a sale here, but it seemed like this was worth mentioning. One of the great things about Club Monaco is that besides having a solid line of in-house core pieces like chinos, sweaters, and outerwear, they also have a wide selection of third party merchandise. The latter […]
Like I mentioned in my “Spring Selections” post, chinos are a great item to have on hand when the weather starts to warm up (and they’re much more affordable than loafers, too). Like many other popular men’s garments, chinos have a military background but have become immensely popular with civilians over the decades. They offer a casual […]
As a native Oregonian I grew up loving the rain, and it’s unfortunate to say that California just hasn’t been getting enough of it. Our state is deep into a drought, but the good news is that we had a day of showers recently, and that gave me the opportunity to wear my rainy day […]
After my recent WIWT post I’ve gotten a couple of questions about what I do with the belt on my trench coat. They answer is simple – it’s tied behind me. I use the above method (taken from an old GiltMANual post that no longer seems to exist), which essentially uses a four-in-hand tie knot […]
What I wore in New York, day three. Trench – Club Monaco | Sweater – Polo Ralph Lauren | OCBD – Gant Rugger | Denim – Gustin | Chukkas – Loake
What I wore in New York, day two. Cool and wet weather calls for a few simple layers. Trech Coat – Club Monaco | Sweater – Gant by Michael Bastian | Scarf – Nieman Marcus | Chambray shirt – Proper Cloth
Last Saturday was a very #menswear day – I spent the day attending trade shows, trying on nice clothes, drinking scotch, talking about the value of handwork in shirts, and so on. This is what I wore – nothing too fancy. These are some of my favorite items to put on so it’s a look that […]
I’m leaving for NYC tomorrow. I’m counting it as a vacation, but I’ll definitely be doing a lot blog work while there – meeting with vendors, trying on awesome clothes, taking pictures, writing – sounds terrible, doesn’t it? Oh, and since I always get so many questions about where each item comes from in these posts, I’ve […]
