Simple style advice for the modern man.
This is the third installment in a series about events that shaped the way I dress. These stories may or may not be relevant to you but hopefully they offer a perspective that isn’t often seen on the internet. Previously: Part I, Part II. If you’re reading my blog then you’re probably someone that puts […]
It’s been well-established that gray trousers are a wonderful centerpiece for any professional wardrobe. They pair well with almost anything, come in a variety of materials, and, frankly, just look good. I have four pairs of gray wool trousers and any time I’m not wearing light colored khakis or jeans I’m likely to be seen […]
My most recent wedding trip took me back to my undergrad Alma mater in Washington, and gave me the opportunity to wander around the campus for the first time in several years. In a stroke of good luck, my favorite classroom had the same lock code as when I was a freshman work study, allowing me to […]
Wedding season is in full swing for me, and once again I’ll be jetting off for some weekend nuptials. It can be challenging to pack for weddings that involve air travel because there is such a demand for dressing well but everything must fit in a carry-on.

Saturday’s forecast in Minnesota: Thunderstorms with a chance of weddings. I spent a warm and wet weekend in Minneapolis for a friend’s wedding – this lightly lined, breathable coat was a lifesaver. Single-Breasted Trench – Club Monaco (with a few extra touches) | Shirt – Proper Cloth | Tie – E&G Cappelli | Shoes – Allen Edmonds […]
The newest addition to my collection of Equus belts – the “Scott” Oak Bark harness leather belt. It’s a rugged and handsome piece made to a unique set of criteria: withstand abuse from weather, use, and time, provide the strength to support tools, and look good while doing it. It has a rich mottled color […]
