It’s December. Only one month left in the year! November was all about tweeds and flannels, and starting to introduce some layers. This past month’s notable additions: a pair of medium brown suede captoes from Morjas (review here!), a new tie and pocket square from Suitsurmesur (review here!), four wool ties from Cavour (yup – …
Disclaimer: this pocket square rack and jacket hanger were sent at no cost to me in exchange for an honest review. I’ve followed Dapper Woodworks on Instagram for a while, admiring the craftsmanship from afar. Funny thing – I didn’t really know I needed a pocket square rack until Justin reached out to me about …
Why does the denim dress shirt exist? Does it need to? Why would an informal fabric fit into a formal construction?

Disclaimer: this is a sponsored post Doing a little bit of homework to start off this post, I was surprised to learn that after more than 80 years Canali is still a family owned operation. Currently under the management of the third generation, Canali has become a truly global entity. An amazing journey from humble …
Something I’ve been waiting for: the Spier & Mackay long sleeve polo. This summer saw an update to the short sleeved version, offering both a cutaway and button down collar. When I saw the cutaway shirt collar, I was excited for fall. It’s weird, I know, but I don’t really enjoy polos with short sleeves. …
After a scorching hot August, September cooled off near the end of the month without much fuss. This week I will be preparing to put away my Spring/Summer sport coats and trousers, and pulling out the heavy weight stuff. I managed to squeeze in one piece, my moleskin sport coat, but September was mostly the …
