Simple style advice for the modern man.
I’m heading off to an epic bachelor party in Austin, TX. If you don’t hear back from me within a week somebody will need to call up my mom and tell her the bad news. Here’s what I packed for a trip full of hot weather adventures, outdoor shenanigans, and other mischief. Off-white chinos Khaki […]
Part II: Measurements and Fitting Previously: Part I After poring over fabric books, lapel styles, and horn buttons for a couple hours with Dustin I was ready to begin the most important part of the made-to-measure experience – the fitting. Picking fabric and style options is lots of fun (although my choices were very tame), […]
It should go without saying that part of living a stylish life involves a good grooming regimen. Like many #menswear folks, I abandoned modern shaving technology a few years back and began using safety razors and a shaving mug (it should come as no surprise that it was inspired in part by Put This On’s […]
I’ve had the good fortune of hanging out with the Gustin crew a couple of times, and a few weeks ago they were kind enough to offer me a pair of their jeans for review. There’s been a good deal of hype around Gustin’s jeans (mainly because of the killer pricepoint and unique denim options) […]
Now that most of us are well in to the warmer months we’re beginning to once again hear quite a bit about the classic spring/summer fabrics – cotton, linen, and seersucker.

I find it very convenient (and surprising) that one of my favorite spots in the city still remains relatively unknown and very empty. San Francisco is a crowded place and it can be challenging to find a location that is both beautiful and tranquil within the city limits. The Presidio is a strange place – for […]
A big thank you to Maghan McDowell for writing this wonderful article in the SF Chronicle and for including me among the ranks of these great Bay Area bloggers. And to you new readers – check out some of my classic posts via the links on the right, browse the archives here, or ask me a question if you […]
Part 1: Cloth and Customization There’s been a decent amount of chatter about Beckett & Robb, a made-to-measure clothing outfit from Salt Lake City that recently came to San Francisco (admittedly, a good deal of that chatter has come from my blog). I have seen their products in person a few times and have spoken […]
During my last visit to Carmel, Jim Ockert was kind enough to give me two items from his quickly expanding private label to test run and review. The first was this oxford cloth button down collar shirt from one of his shirting lines. It is from his more casual and youthful line, which includes these washed […]
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 […]
