Simple style advice for the modern man.
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 […]
I was recently contacted by Jan Klimo of Solosso, who asked if I was interested in trying out one of their shirts. As many of my readers know, I have tried several made-to-measure (MTM) shirting companies in the past, but the amount of companies that perform this service has grown wildly and they now are […]
There’s something wonderful about spending time on a college campus in the fall, and it’s even more enjoyable without the weight of homework and exams hanging over one’s head. Over the weekend I took a short trip down the peninsula to my local Alma Mater to meet with good friends and spend some time on the […]
Dear Boglioli size 36 wool/silk/cashmere K Jacket with Prince of Wales check, I should have known from the start that it wasn’t going to work out. You were miles out of my league, and there were men far richer than I trying to get you. But I’m still a young guy, full of hope and […]
Over the past month or two my favorite shirt has been this chambray number from Proper Cloth. It features the “Bedford Blue” chambray fabric and their new 3.5” soft button-down collar, both of which are great. The collar’s longer points, super soft interlining, and slightly larger spread are all great additions, and to me are […]
Carmina, the small Spanish shoe company that has been making big waves in the menswear world, has risen to prominence in an impressive fashion over the past few years. In a landscape dominated by England and Italy, Carmina has shown that Spain is a major contender in the world of fine footwear, and did so […]
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 […]
Britex recently had a 30% markdown on almost their entire stock, and I popped in to see if any new remnants had appeared on the 4th floor. Although I didn’t end up taking home any of those, I did have a bit of luck downstairs. This deadstock wool flannel by Etro was already surprisingly inexpensive, and the sale […]
Like many men’s clothing enthusiasts, I keep a well-curated “dream box” at yoox.com, full of items that I would potentially buy if the price dipped low enough. Be that as it may, I have never actually purchased anything from said dream box; my chest size is not particularly common on the site and the game […]
It’s been difficult for me to start thinking about fall because San Francisco is just now leaving its second winter (“Fogust”) and things are finally getting warm here. Nonetheless, most of us are entering a period of sartorial transition by slowly trading in linens and loafers for tweed and suede. To me, Autumn is about […]
