Things I Liked at J. Crew
I went to J. Crew and thought I’d write about things I liked!
Note: This isn’t really sponsored, but I’ll explain more within the post.
review
The UK Officer Khaki Drill Trouser from WPG
Decided to try some new chinos! They’ve got side adjusters, double forward pleats, and only cost $60!
I did alter them though, in order to make them a bit more my speed.
The Armoury Jubilee
Time to talk about the best “treat myself” I’ve ever done, courtesy of my NYC trip. It’s honestly not a real review so much as me gushing over some amazing shoes that I actually bought for myself.
Review: Oxfords & Loafers from 51 Label Co.
Do you know what the clock says? It says it’s time for a review! We look at two shoes from 51 Label Co., a new shoe company based in Singapore.
Disclaimer: We received two pairs of shoes in exchange for this review.
The Uniqlo Knit Polo
These polos are knit and ribbed for our pleasure.
A Stóffa Trouser Review
It’s always nice to treat yourself for a pair of custom trousers. Today, we review my latest purchase: chocolate brown peached cotton from Stóffa.
Two Ties from GENTL SUPPLY
Disclaimer: We received two complimentary ties and I decided to write about them.
Continuing our small coverage of affordable contemporary tie brands, I give you GENTL SUPPLY. They actually had to slide in my DMs since I literally shop for ties by searching “1930’s tie” on eBay. Go figure!
Drake’s and the Sleeveless Cardigan
This ain’t sponsored, I just really like this thing.
Nothing says grandpa or old-man style like a sleeveless cardigan. And that’s exactly what I want, so I bought one!
Review: The Irish Poplin Tie from Mr. Jenks
Disclaimer: I received a tie in exchange for this review.
I was recently approached by William of Mr. Jenks to do a review on his Irish Poplin ties. As I have little to no experience with contemporary ties, I knew that I had to take him up on his offer.
The Completely Unstructured 1960’s Summer Suit
I am always on the search for “softly tailored” garments: little/no shoulder padding, unstructured and barely any lining. In fact, it is this detail that gives contemporary tailoring a slight edge over vintage pieces for me. When the two are combined however, you best know that I’ll be all over it. I think I just found the perfect casual vintage suit!
a little bit of rest
