Simple style advice for the modern man.
Well, the big sales weekend has passed (for the most part), which means that it’s time to focus on buying gifts for people other than ourselves. This list is for the men that deserve our gratitude this year – maybe it’s a brother, a father, a friend, a husband, or someone else entirely. No matter what […]
Well, we’ve arrived. Whether you love it or hate it, Black Friday is here. I’m not that interested in creating a list of every Black Friday sale out there – if you want that, just check out this thread on Styleforum. Instead, this is a list of the sales that are the most appealing to […]
I’ll be out for a couple of days visiting family over the long weekend. Here’s what I stuffed in my overnight bag: Oxford and chambray shirts Shetland sweater Raw denim Cotton trousers M65 jacket Unlined suede bluchers Shell cordovan wingtips Cashmere scarf A good leather belt Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Today I’d like to discuss one in particular – the “perfect shirt length.” The idea here […]
This is my fourth year living in San Francisco, and the weather is finally starting to get to me. I don’t want to be the guy who complains about having 65-75 degree weather every day, but I think the lack of seasons has started to drive me insane. The temperature continues to hover around the […]
Last month I took a quick trip down to Khaki’s of Carmel with my good friend (and resurrected blogger) Gus. I’ve visited (and written about) Khakis on several occasions, but all of my previous trips were in the Spring; I took this opportunity to stop in at one of my favorite stores during the transition to […]
The folks at Wingtip in San Francisco have been stepping up their game in a big way over the past few months. They have been attracting some serious talent to their store, and that can be seen in the dual trunk show going on now. Phillip Carr of Saint Crispins and Salvatore Ambrosi will be at Wingtip […]
I just got back from a rather spontaneous week-long trip to Newfoundland with my girlfriend; for that reason, I’m a bit behind on blog emails and posts. I don’t have many photos of myself from the trip (most of my photos are of the amazing landscape) but here’s a quick shot of what I wore […]
