Simple style advice for the modern man.
Although I’m not exactly built for tropical weather, I must admit that it’s pretty convenient that I can fly to Mexico in three hours from San Francisco – that’s half the time it takes me to get to New York City (where I happen to be headed next week). I was able to take a […]
A few years back I confessed my growing interest in Western-inspired clothing, and it’s safe to say that my affinity toward the style hasn’t decreased since then. My first foray into this aesthetic was with a denim shirt from Proper Cloth – I ended up wearing this shirt so much that I thought that it might make sense to get another one as a backup. […]
I’ll be honest – I haven’t been in the mood to write lately. Processing everything that’s going on in the world is hard enough as is, and going through this lockdown alone has made the changes particularly intense. Writing about clothing just hasn’t felt important with everything else that’s happening. But as the initial shock […]
I spent most of the past week doing one of my favorite things – hiking through the damp, foggy forests of the Willamette Valley. It’s a pastime that I took for granted when I lived in the Pacific Northwest and now have come to miss dearly due to my city-centric lifestyle. I tend to overpack […]
I spent most of last week in New Mexico, visiting my good friend Gus. We looked at a lot of vintage rugs and jewelry, ate a significant amount of food with chiles on it, and drank a few margaritas at 7,200 feet. Santa Fe is a funky, artsy, town with some wonderful history and a […]
I just returned from a work trip to New York – I didn’t have a ton of time to explore the city on this trip, but it was still a nice change of pace from San Francisco. Weather-wise, I got a bit of everything – some sun, some rain, some cold mornings and warm afternoons. […]
I recently spent a few days of debauchery in Arizona, where the midday temperatures hovered around 110 degrees (but it’s a dry heat). This isn’t really the environment that I prefer to exist in, but I managed to cobble together a few pieces from my wardrobe to help me cope. Here’s what I packed: […]
I’ve been thinking about printed shirts a lot lately. And I know I’m not the only one – it’s that time of year where every publication is praising the merits of a “fun” printed shirt, and now I’m one of them. It’s taken me a while to come around on this style since I tend to dress fairly conservatively, but even I can admit to the utility of having a casual, whimsical shirt that adds a bit to the enjoyment of dressing seasonally. […]
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. […]
