Saturday in NYC, Part 1
Last Saturday was a very #menswear day – I spent the day attending trade shows, trying on nice clothes, drinking scotch, talking about the value of handwork in shirts, and so on. This is what I wore – nothing too fancy. These are some of my favorite items to put on so it’s a look that […]
A Trip to New York City
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 […]
What I Wore Sunday – Casual & Collegiate
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 […]
Chambray from Proper Cloth
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 […]
Chambray and Denim
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 […]
Alma Mater
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 […]
Summer Storms
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 […]
Spring Essentials
I have a feeling that I’ll be wearing some slight variation of this almost every day for the next four months (if the weather continues to cooperate, that is).
