A Trip to New York City
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 […]
Chambray and Denim
Although we’re deep into the Autumn season, San Francisco continues to have mild 65-70 degree weather. It keeps taking me by surprise, but at this point I should be used to the fact that the weather is always going to be like that here. I do like the idea of layering up, but most days […]

Out And About: a chat with Gustin Denim
If you’ve been paying any attention to new developments in the men’s clothing industry then you’ve probably heard mention of Gustin – the kickstarter success story that shocked everyone when they introduced high-end denim at a pricepoint that seemed revolutionary (until they told us that it’s what we should’ve been paying all along). For those […]
