The Menswear in New York II
After a 3000+ word recap of my trip (that omitted things like the Rowing Blazers event and our visit to some vintage stores) it’s time to talk about what you’ve been waiting for: the outfits.
The Squad at the Dapper Day Spring 2018 Expo
Classic Menswear in the LA Arts District
I always advocate trying to make menswear look natural and easy by taking dorky pictures. Especially if it’s in the cool, LA Arts District. It’s just nice to be dressed up with your friends, acting like yourselves instead of as models who are paid to hold a bottle of soda.
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!
Keeping the Full Cut: The 1940’s Navy Flannel DB Suit
An elegant DB is a must for any classic or vintage menswear enthusiast. But do I taper the legs to make it more “timeless”?
The Vintage Trench Coat
Rain in LA is like manna from heaven, since it seems that the state of California is perpetually on the brink of a drought. Other than giving us some much needed water, it also gives me a reason to break out my vintage trench coat.
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!
Tailoring Transformation: The Thrifted 90’s Brown DB Suit
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.
