Fun with Unique Vintage Outerwear
Time keep our layering theme going by visiting the deep reaches of my wardrobe and bringing out some cool, unique vintage outerwear!
Unexpected Layering: The Vintage BDU Camo Army Jacket
Never thought I’d be a guy who wore camo, but I definitely caved. It’s now one of my favorite pieces to wear!
The Vintage Sport Shirt
In the world of vintage casualwear, one article of clothing reigns supreme: the sportshirt. Because of its uniquely shaped collar (which lies flat and creates a notch, like a jacket’s lapel) it is commonly known on the internet as the Cuban or camp collar shirt. While the term loop collar has been thrown in the mix, it’s best known among true vintage enthusiasts and collectors as the sport shirt.
There have been a few articles written by other people on this subject, but none of have gone past the 1950s and 1960s in terms of history. We’re here to put the record straight on this classic piece of vintage menswear that was worn by men of all ages in a variety of different outfits.
Casual Summer Style with Aloha Shirts
I know, I know; Aloha (Hawaiian) shirts are inherently casual. However, I thought I’d show you a few ways to wear them just so you know how versatile they can be!
My Last Outfit at BR
This past Saturday was my last day at Banana Republic. Might not be the last day of retail for me, but it was certainly an interesting experience. Here’s what I wore on that last day.
Unexpected Layering: The M-43 Field Jacket
As fall gets closure, it’s time to be basic and wear your Basic Green Jackets. We’ve seen them before with a casual attire, but what about with a suit?
A Few Days in the Bay Area
I’ve been meaning to go to SF (and the Bay Area) and shop around for a long time. The last time I went was two years ago when Tim and I stumbled upon Haight Street and its awesome vintage stores. I planned to go for my 21st birthday in July, but circumstances arose that only allowed us to go during this past September Weekend! Spencer, Jeremiah and I (the Spring 2016 Dapper Day crew) were only able to spend two nights/one day in the Area but it was definitely a lot of fun, especially since we were able to dress up and walk around!
The Armoury for Less: Blue, Grey, and Brown
Nothing is more classic than the colors of blue, grey, and brown. They are staples that every man should have in his closet, whether they take form as a suit, sportcoat, pants, or even ties! This article recreates an outfit from the Armoury (and Brycelands Co) utilizing these classic colors. The fact that my outfit costs $300 while the other costs $3,000 is an added bonus.
