Here's another collection of what I've been looking at behing the scenes this last week.
Spring is a time of reflection for most of us. A time of figuring out where we want to go this year, based on our experiences with the last, or maybe a time to just clear out the junk we've been accumulating over the winter months.
I am by no means a shorts man. My height just does not allow it. Even in the hottest of days, I tend to try and stick with some lightweight chinos or something to that effect, but there is that rare occasion when a pair of shorts come along that I want to wear 3-4 times a week because they are that great.
Its not everyday that I come across an accessory outside of a bag or tote that catches my attention. Caesy sent over one of his most recent additions and I'm down with the multifunction of this hand made key carry.
It's no surprise that Michael Williams is in the position he is today, what with his site, brand and PR firm all very successful in their own right. I have to agree with Gilt that he is one of the reasons a lot of blogs and magazines exist today, especially in the arena of hand made, American made mens clothing and goods.
I have been on the hunt for a few good books for the warmer months, something to bring with when you hit the beach or even sitting on a patio Saturday afternoons with a pint.
Japanese label StitchandSew just showed up at CHCM Shop in New York this week. Founded in 2007 by Hironori Inada, this line represents the relationship between people and the items we use on the daily.
For a shop I have only come to know in the last few months, Frans Boone has made quite the name for themselves in the shoe department.
Our friends at Warby Parker have teamed up with Invisible Children, to produce their first pair of sunglasses to help raise awareness about child soldiers in East Africa. I am a huge supporter of companies like WP and Apolis who continue to push the envelope when it comes to running their respective businesses and giving back to our global community.
Barret Alley is a Texas based, one man show, creating beautiful, hand made leather wallets and accessories. This morning he released a few new items, including these antique German plaid cloth bracelets.
The Hills Hoist is an online shop that just launched not too long ago, run by Richard Whillas, of Whillas & Gunn and Kakadu Traders.
Often times- those of us who are Americans, find ourselves yearning for the best quality out of our good ol’ U.S. made products because, let’s face it, cutting corners is what we do best.
You would be doing yourself a favor by picking up one of these classic silk repp ties.
Over the last week I've been in beautiful Victoria BC for a friends wedding, but I've also been working on a couple upcoming projects for Free / Man.
There really is no substitution on shirting options for the breathability of the madras with the upcoming weather hopefully everyone will be enjoying.
