Hugh & Crye L’Enfant Blazers in Navy and Charcoal Plaid -

Hugh & Crye just released their first run of blazers, and I am more than excited. They are offering four options of partially lined blazers in their standard twelve size offerings. The blazer is made of 60/40 wool/polyester with a slim fitting, double-vented, buggy-back.

I cannot wait to try one of these on.

Slowear Spring/Summer 2013

I’ve said it before, and Slowear seems to agree:

Navy espadrilles are the ultimate summer shoe. 

……. Everything else looks pretty damn nice too.

Commonwealth Proper Spring/Summer 2013

Craig did an incredible job with this collection. The navy and gray striped peak lapel jackets are absolutely incredible, both in photograph and in person, and all of the ties and pocket squares are summer crushers. Of course, everything here is made in America and sold and fitted in our Philadelphia showroom and pop-up shops across the country.

Indochino is in Philly!

By now you guys have probably heard about the custom clothing company that is Indochino. They have a traveling tailor program, where they take their suits, shirts, and pants on the road and set up shop in major cities across the country for a couple weeks. We’re lucky enough to have them in Philly.

Indochino will be set up in Center City at 1518 Walnut until may 27th.

You can book a fitting appointment here, and those who book and purchase a suit will receive a free dress shirt, tie bar, and cuff links.

If you’re a recent graduate, on a budget, and in need of a suit for summer interviews, Indochino really is a great option. They just launched their Summer Collection, and there’s some really attractive pieces in there.

It’s great that Indochino decided to make a stop in Philly, and if you’ve been thinking about making a purchase online, this is a great opportunity to get a feel for the pieces in person. Hope to see you guys over there.

WIWTOD: 5/8/13 -

Greg and I ended up on Princeton University’s campus the other day to shoot a little film. It had been raining all day, and the storm broke for about half an hour as soon as we got there. Princeton’s campus is absolutely beautiful, but the rain takes it to a whole different level. The complete soak of the downpour as we were leaving was definitely worth it. Greg got some incredible shots (more of which I will share later). Here are the details of my kit:

  • Chino blazer - Lands’ End Canvas
  • MTM poplin shirt - Neronote
  • Chinos - J.Crew
  • Silk knit - Sid Mashburn
  • Pocket square - E. Marinella
  • Loafers - Loake

I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again; I strongly recommend a brown striped shirt. It fits seamlessly into any wardrobe and is incredibly versatile, although apparently uncommon. Here, it adds another element to the classic blue blazer/red tie combo. I’d also recommend a pair of light brown chinos, in place of khaki or gray. It’s refreshing, and frankly, a lot more interesting with a navy blazer.
