warmth, ties & penny loafers.
i went on a prompt and precise hunt for a killer gray wool blazer & came home with this sweater. since i’m pursuing the ‘coatless winter’ and layering up with pieces like this cardigan (and a few undershirts) i felt it fell in all-swell-like. A thick sweater can go a long way and this one has all the right details, a great fit and the right color to push me through till the layers shed.

fuck it, falls here.
so, every once in awhile, every once in awhile, i buy things i probably shouldn’t. like this jacket, or three extra drinks. i call it an ‘investment’ but i know what it really was, a splurge. an “i’m truthfully so horribly sick of summer i’m making mistakes financially” type splurge. it’ll last years, and it looks awesome but it was risky and borderline regrettable, live purchase and learn.

try to be smart, live happy & eat right but realize life is as much about physical happiness as it is mental.

I always like to have an original living space, its nice to wake up in something creative. I was looking for something interesting to counteract my lack of closer space, this seemed to make sense.
i really like the result now i just have to pick up a couple more racks.

befriend a tailor.
I’ve had these club monaco chinos for a few years, but the vast majority of them they’ve been in the “get tailored” milk crate. i eventually got they completely reworked (tapered & hemmed) by an awesome tailor in rhode island, and they have become one of my go-to summer pants.
lightweight, solid construction and simple color, another winner by club monaco.

pineapple jacket & banana pants - the fruit suit.
work has been insane lately and i find myself wearing all-black-everything all week. so, i fuse 5 days of borderline outlandish clothing into my day off. project nyc happened to be on that day. where sandbox studio had an awesome pop-up studio that made me look much prettier than i am.

dressing from the shoes up: part II
party up top, business down low.
theres a certain appeal to the jeans & t shirt look. its easy, its comfortable and its - well it’s easy and comfortable. the simplicity and casual vibe of this look leave a surprising amount of room for anything and everything else.
when you cross a guy whose taking this route (assuming it all fits), theres not much hesitation. your eyes don’t spend time inspecting the seams of the t shirt or edge of the denim. but this look caters to the accessories - in my case some nice new shoes & a denim wrist tie.
this is my second pair of Florsheim Veblens and i know they can really take a beating, so i’m wasting no time this summer doing just that. i opted for a slightly different color this time around because i’ve been wanting to try out the versatility of gray shoes.
stay on the look out for a great opportunity from florsheim x me

Q
I remember you mentioning your height before and I was wondering, do your shirts fit off the rack or you shorten them? I'm the same height and most are too long to be worn untucked.
from:Anonymous
A
I wear my shirts off the rack. its just easier & i have so many it would be such a hassle if i would have had to have them all altered. normally i’m an XS or S.
i think the key is finding the brand(s) that fit your body type best. I’m 5’7 & 150lbs with broad shoulders so for most my shirts i stick to brands i know work best for me.
my most preferred fit. slim XS, the shirt measures 35”-36” around the chest which is really comfortable and leaves room for occasional layering. high arm holes and a tapered sleeve with study buttons and details. available in a bunch of colors and often found for under $40 on CM sale racks. club monaco shirting: great.
i was lucky enough to come across WHARF shirting during my time in providence, having picked up two shirts since my first visit to the storefront these shirts mean business. the fit on a size S is a bit looser than i had initially desired but after a few wears, wrinkles and washes i realized the more relax fit was great. perfect for summer. a bit pricey but well worth it, the details are simplistic and clean, the fabrics are spot on and they’re made in new england. wharf shirting: worth it.
everyone likes j.crew, they do great stuff and while their shirting quality has been slightly trailing off the introduction of the XS size to their outlet stores got me pretty excited a few months ago. size S is a bit too bit, size XS is a bit too small but for formal occasions (assuming your pant is evenly slim) it works out. a million different patterns and fabrics - if you can score the shirt for the right price then do it. j.crew shirting: often worth it
