nice base layers

By jon | Published: February 24, 2010
The kind people at Uniqlo sent me some awesome gear for the winter. The key to staying warm is layers. Layering sometimes isn’t the most friendly to the kind of sartorial nonsense I generally get into. But these HeatTech shirts are near perfect.

nice pants

By jon | Published: February 13, 2010
Contrast cuffs are where it’s at. Opening Ceremony hit the nail on the head with these trousers. A part of their ongoing collaboration with Pendleton, they look like a great fit and would be a welcome edition to any closet. I’m not completely sold on the velcro waistband, but I’m learning to embrace my inner [...]

Inventory did a great job on this issue. Great features, nice styling, quality paper and print. Can’t ask much more [...]

Along with all the clothing labels at capsule, there were also footwear and accessories brands showing. Two of the standouts in the bag arena were Temple Bags and J. Fold. Taking their cue from Soviet era standard issue military and civil service bags, J. Fold presented simple, utilitarian bags. This tote would be great as [...]

ENK-D.S. Dundee

By jon | Published: January 28, 2010
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 [...]

The ENK show was an amazing experience. AC and company did a great job showcasing the brands as well as providing a nice environment for attendees. Lots of space, lots to see, and lots to do.  Shoe shines, hot shaves, and good food. Add a bunch of really great brands and nice people, and you’ve [...]

For the past five days I’ve been in New York for men’s market week. ENK, Capsule, and a whole lotta cool shops. My cousin came out to the city with me. While he wasn’t terribly interested in all the menswear, he did say “Your internet friends are pretty cool.” Which I appreciated. And they are. [...]

Does she like to tease you about the amount of plaid in your closet? Get her this OpeningCeremony meets Pendleton wool peplum coat and dare her not to like it. Wow her with Pendleton’s story and your knowledge of their trading blankets. Your utter nerdiness will make her smile. Not ready to give up your [...]
