Last week I stopped by the Beckett & Robb showroom in San Francisco to say hello and check out their newest items – a small run or ready-to-wear blazers. As my readers may recall, Beckett & Robb specializes in made-to-measure tailored clothing; you can read about the suit I purchased here. This run of blazers […]
One Year Later: Howard Yount Flannel Trousers
As I’ve mentioned before, men’s clothing enthusiasts often tout the importance of buying high-quality products, an ideal that I generally agree with. Of course, few of us have the funds to buy the best of the best of everything, so the process of finding and purchasing clothing and accessories becomes more of a decision of when […]
Tying a Trench
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 […]
Styleforum Spotlight – Rob Rossicone and Yellow Hook Necktie Co.
The recent Styleforum trunk show in New York City brought together many different vendors from all over the globe; most of them were people I recognized immediately, even though I had never met them in person – that’s the power of the internet, I suppose.

Styleforum Spotlight – Kirby Allison and the Hanger Project
One of the many vendors I had the pleasure of meeting last week was Kirby Allison, creator of The Hanger Project. As many of you know, Kirby’s e-store began as a place that offered something surprisingly hard to find – nice hangers. Behind every good suit is a good hanger, and yet finding one was surprisingly difficult until […]
Coming to America – A Visit to the Meermin Trunk Show
One of my most anticipated stops during the recent trip to NYC was the Meermin trunk show last week. The brand has been getting lots of press in the past year or two and I have been increasingly curious about their wares. The problem, though, is that their shoes are only physically present at their […]

Saturday in NYC, Part 1
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 […]
