A visit to J.M. Weston - NYC

Back in April while on a business/pleasure trip to NYC with the wife in tow, had to stop by some of my favorite brand stores. One such stop was at the J.M. Weston boutique not too far from Bergdorf Goodman Men's Store. IMO, Weston has some the finest made and finest looking shoes anywear in the world. While the brand does not garner much attention in the US, they are well-known worldwide for their excellent make, look and designs. I challenge you to find a better shoe. Cheers!

Been a Long Time

It has been some time since my last post. I have taken a hiatus of epic proportions, but feeling the creative juices flowing so time to get back in the game. I have been looking at other blogs for the past week and have gotten inspired. Stay with, stay in the game.....

Wearing a new piece I just commissioned from my factory...fabric is a navy pinstripe from Ralph Lauren (by way of Mood's in NYC), Albert & Hall custom shirt (my own brand), Macmillan linen tie, shoes by Bontoni, Hermes pocket square....

Timeless Summer Fashions

As a student of men's fashion, I constantly search for these old illustrations to get inspiration. As usual, these old pictures provide a glimpse into the detail men used to exercise when dressing for any occasion. Depicted in this picture are two looks that would be in style for today's renaissance man.

Hopefully you will get some ideas for your next summer soiree from this illustration - Cheers!

The Summer Blazer

As most fashion-conscience well dressed men would agree, the blue or navy blazer is not relegated to the fall months. An appropriately designed, wool-mohair blend coat would be a fine compliment to most wardrobes for the spring and summer months. The wool will give the wearer the texture and the mohair will provide relief since it breathes and moves with the wearer than the typical wool only coat. This vintage picture of such a look provides a wonderful example of a look to sport this summer. Cheers!
