Simple style advice for the modern man.
The summer sale season is upon us – here are a few quick picks from brands that I’m looking to purchase from to fill out my summer wardrobe. These sales are ending soon, so act fast if there’s something you like. If the thing you’re looking at sells out, it might be because I bought […]
San Francisco has been unbearably hot for the past few days. While summer temperatures hovering around 100 degrees may be common in many parts on the United States, it’s exceedingly rare here. And what makes it exponentially worse is that the city is wholly unprepared for it – nobody has air conditioning, restaurants have to close because the food spoils, the power goes out, and more. It’s not great. […]
Now that most of us are easing into the warmer months we’re beginning to once again hear quite a bit about classic spring/summer fabrics – in particular, popular plant fibers like cotton and linen. Since we’re now in the peak of wedding season prep (and many guys are on a hunt for tailored clothing that will keep them from sweating too much during all those outdoor ceremonies) it’s worth discussing how each of these fibers affects overall comfort, breathability, and appearance.

One of the most popular articles on this site for several years now has been my review of Away luggage and its comparison to the offerings from MUJI. Now that I’ve had two years to travel with their suitcases I figured it would be a good time to bring back my One Year Later series, in which I re-review items after significant wear. […]
Last spring I put together a buying guide for penny loafers. Since then my tastes in loafers have only gotten more wild, and I’ve started to spend a lot of time thinking about tassel loafers. While the penny loafer is a bit of an understated classic, the tassel boasts a similar pedigree but with a bit more of an attitude. […]
Readers of this blog will know I’m not that into luxury brands – to me, they generally don’t provide a very good value for the money spent, and quite often they don’t even provide the best product when compared to other options on the market. With these big-name brands, so much of the price of the goods goes into marketing rather than the product itself so it’s a difficult purchase to justify from a rational perspective. […]
Just a heads up – this sale code still works and stock is still pretty good (especially on the Alden styles). I don’t know when the code will expire but now is still a great time to get into some excellent spring footwear! – The biggest disadvantage of playing the sales game is that usually […]
We all have those products that we lust over for long periods of time. There’s the endless ‘research,’ the search for discounts, and, eventually, the hunt for something similar that doesn’t cost as much. If you finally buy that thing that is exactly what you want (and it hopefully lives up to your very high expectations), it can be a wonderful feeling. But there is an inherent problem with these great products, too. […]
You may have noticed that I’ve been a little light on blog posts lately. While I certainly wish that I had a bit more time to create great #content, most of it has been taken up by a new project. As I’ve been hinting at on social media for a couple of months, I’ve had something in the works for a while and I’m excited to share it with you all today. […]
A lot can happen in four and a half years. This was particularly apparent in the “Menswear Map” I made in 2014, which was in dire need of an update. Many new stores have appeared in the area, many have shut their doors, and a good handful have found new addresses in the city. With that in mind, I’ve refreshed this super cool interactive map that should help everyone out, whether you’re just in town for the afternoon or you’re a seasoned local looking for a new place to get a haircut.
