Howard Yount is one of my favorite go to sites for the classics. He has some of the nicest most affordable stuff out there and hasn’t let me down yet.
Good to see some new ties and accessories–just getting me exciting for spring.
I love the paisley pocket squares, just enough color and pop to add to any sportcoat. Two please!
One of my favorite design blogs is Hindsvik.
Based out of Canada and run by a cute couple (of course).
They have a beautiful online shop and showcase renovation of their house from the 1940′s.
The shop has been growing in popularity recently thanks to a nod from being an etsy featured seller.
It’s pretty inspiring and considering I just moved I might be picking up a few things from them soon!
Frosting windows anyone? Sounds good!

Do Italians overdo it? Nope…not at all.
Raffaele Caruso’s spring line has hit shops now and it’s looking pretty pretty pretty good!
Not everyone has heard of Caruso but, most of you have their stuff in your closet a la Ralph Lauren (blue label). They make some of the best mid range Italian clothes out there. With full floating canvases their jackets would be grail status for the tumblr kids.
This spring they got the colors in full swing!
Caruso never really tries to set trends, they just coast on what’s going on out there. Simple statements like beltless pants, 70′s turtle necks mixed with their gorgeous fabrics and you got spring on lock down…in Monoco.
Check the rest of …
Has anyone ever heard the phrase “beating a dead horse”?
Don’t get me wrong I’ve always been a big fan of TB, but I feel like the Black Fleece line just isn’t progressing– it’s more recycling older looks from early Thom Browne.
This season consists of his usual staples high waisted pants, slim oxfords, ungodly short blazers, and the cardigan that only looks good when you wear it with his pants cardigan.
Now before you think I’m rattling on about nothing bear with me, the original deal with Black Fleece was “Thom Browne meets Brooks Brothers meets Italian Tailoring”. Fall 2007 was a knockout! Beautiful suits that weren’t too short, not too slim and were enough to woo the original …
I havn’t always been a Destroyer fan but Dan Bejar’s new album is absolutely incredible. It won’t sound that unfamiliar to you if you’re a fan of the New Pornagraphers as he’s been singing with Carl Newman for years.
Filled with dreamy synth pads, misplaced saxophones, and the hush whisper of Mr. Bejar’s voice I just can’t stop listening to it.
Most Destroyer records take a bit of time to get used to, but this is as welcoming as it is different. The record has hybrid mix of drum pads that evolve into real recorded drums then back to pads. Topped with reverby guitars and yes again, that dang saxophone!
I don’t claim to understand everything Bejar’s is doing, I’m …
Rarely do I play favorites (unless I’m talking about Michael Bastian cause he’s the shiz) but I said it before and I’ll say it again.
Club Monaco is fantastic.
Good prices, good fabric and great clothes.
Don’t get me wrong, I can’t and won’t wear everything they put out but, the stuff that I like I really like.
Like their new cotton blazer, unstructured and perfectly casual. Made out of your favorite sweat pants (not used of course!)
I would say three’s a trend with that one! (corneliani, lardini, club monaco)
Club Monaco continues to pull a bit from that Anglo-Italian look that everyone seems to be up on. I think what excites me the most is Club Monaco …
Wow…where to begin.
A lot of companies right now are trying to create new trends.
Haversack doesn’t care about those trends. They care about the reliving the old ones.
The “old school dandy” (spoken in a thick Japanese accent)
If you havn’t heard about Haversack you have now. They try to be as true to the inspired time as possible. Re-creating fabrics from vintage ones.
They’re like Jurassic Park’s John Hammond of clothing.
“Spared no expense”
…and they don’t spare any expense. Which is also why their clothes are so expensive. HA!
Expensive yes, but absolutely beautiful and stunning.
Haversack is a lot closer to what your grandpa used to wear than what you told your friends your grandpa wore. …
(Insert James Brown voice…)
GOOD GOD!
I often forget and overlook how amazing Jaeger LeCoultre watches are, especially the vintage ones.
JLC is always recognized …
You know you have them…maybe they’re regrets wishing you said “Hey” to that girl, or clothes you bought that when you left the store you …
It’s finally starting to get a bit chilly around here.
Hopefully, most of you are preparing to crack open your penny banks and stimulate the economy.…
Everything is turning Italian.
It might not all be Italian made but folks are really on the Italian kick. Soft shouldered sport coats, spread …
Watches don’t have a sense of humor right?
I mean, it’s not like time speeds up or slows down does it? Let’s be serious here.…
