ENK-D.S. Dundee

By now you’ve probably heard of D.S. Dundee. I arrived at ENK an hour or so after Lawrence and Shaun got there. When we met up, I asked them what brands were standing out. They both answered readily with “D.S. Dundee”. So, we headed over to the booth. And boy they weren’t lying. Easily one of the best in show at ENK New York.

Lawrence tested and Shaun approved, the U.K. brand has its roots in Scottish textiles and country living.

These bowties caught my eye.

I’m a sucker for a good elbow patch. Real leather, strong stitching, soft, warm wool; all ingredients for a great sweater.

Wear a cardigan like this and girls will just assume you have good taste.

What really stood out about D.S. Dundee were their attention to detail and classic inspirations.  I love the contrast fabric on the underside of the collar.

Any sugarmommas out there, feel free to get me this blazer. Then  it’ll look like you have that sexy, smart, erudite, and well mannered gentleman scholar on  your arm.  Seriously, though folks. We must have circled back to the D.S. Dundee booth three or four times before we left the show. The tweeds, the weight of the coats, the small details on the shirting. All of it works. The dapper countryside gentlemen is a look we could use a little bit more of these days.
