Now Available: Lost Monarch Eyewear Briefcases
I’ve been writing about eyewear quite a bit this year. And as I mentioned recently, I’ve noticed that more men seem to be approaching spectacles as a collector’s item rather than a purely functional product. While I might not be quite at that level (…yet), I definitely know that managing a pile of glasses in random cases is a bit unwieldily. The best solution that I’ve come up with is now…

A Trip to Japan
A Trip to Japan
In what seems to be a rite of passage in the world of menswear, I recently returned from a trip to Japan. All roads inevitably end here when it comes to niche hobbies—it doesn’t matter if you’re into fashion, food, or flower arrangements. I split my time between Tokyo and Kyoto, and found both cities to be wonderful and absolutely packed with things to explore. As one might expect I kept my…

Back In Stock: Proper Cloth "Low Twist" Shirts
Back In Stock: Proper Cloth "Low Twist" Shirts
Two years ago I wrote about how excited I was about for the newest shirt fabrics from Proper Cloth, my favorite shirtmaker. The “low twist” flannels were super heavy, textured, and had great colors as well—I immediately bought two, and they have been in my weekly rotation ever since. They weren’t offered at all last year but it looks like they just restocked, and new colors were added as well. I…

The Fall Forecast: My Favorite New Arrivals
The Fall Forecast: My Favorite New Arrivals
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, in my opinion. With summer officially behind us we can shift our focus to what we’ve all been waiting for – not just platitudes of the incoming autumnal season, but previews of Fall/Winter collections. Yes, the leaves may be changing, but let’s look at pictures of tweed sportcoats instead. Here are a few of the products and brands that are catching my eye…

Actually, This Is My First Rodeo
I’m spending the week in small-town Montana, located a couple hours from the comparatively buzzing metropolises of Bozeman and Missoula. Though the total population may be less than the city block that I currently live on, the town takes the Labor Day rodeo and festivities very seriously. I’m sure I’ll stick out like the Californian that I am no matter what I wear, but here’s what I’m bringing…

Running with the Wolf Pack: a Guide to Jacques Marie Mage Eyewear
Running with the Wolf Pack: a Guide to Jacques Marie Mage Eyewear
I’ve been writing about menswear for over ten years now, and it’s not often that a new brand attracts seemingly unanimous interest in the fashion space. We’ve seen lots of niche brands become darlings of certain groups with similar interests, but universal enthusiasm isn’t that common. Jacques Marie Mage seems to be one of these brands, though, as everyone from movie stars and pro athletes to…

Product Review: Smiths "Everest" PRS-25 Gilt Watch
Product Review: Smiths "Everest" PRS-25 Gilt Watch
I’ve made mention on numerous occasions that I dream about owning a Rolex 1016 Explorer. Unfortunately, my dream is also the dream of many others, and there simply aren’t enough of these vintage watches to go around. The silver lining is that the 1016 has become one of the most “riffed”-upon watches out there in the past few years, from small startups to knockoff-makers to high-end Swiss brands.…

It's On Sale - My Closet (Part 1)
It's On Sale - My Closet (Part 1)
Perhaps it’s a blessing in disguise, but one of the challenges in living in a small apartment is that closet space is always limited and everything in there must earn its place. It’s time for me to thin the herd and pass some pieces on to people that will wear them more often. You can find info on all the sale items here. This is part 1, which focuses on sportcoats and pants. Next week I will do…

Stories in Silver – Don Siegel and Chipeta Trading
There’s no denying that western-inspired fashion has been gaining momentum in recent years. Denim shirts can be seen under everything from leather jackets to navy blazers. Turquoise rings peek out from under heavy winter coats in high-end lookbooks. Even mass-produced belts are getting the yee-haw treatment; after a decade of minimalism, three-piece buckles and cowboy-themed motifs are making the rounds across many retailers.
And as with anything popular, one of the challenges in exploring these products is separating the authentic from the copycat. This isn’t to say that every purchase needs to be from a heritage brand or artisan maker, but when it comes to vintage goods in particular, I prefer to trust an expert. And while there are many places to shop for vintage and modern Native American jewelry, I have found no better source than Chipeta Trading for the vintage hunter that really wants to understand the pieces that they’re looking for.
This Santa Fe-based business is run by Don Siegel, a lifetime collector and verifiable expert in many subjects related to Native American history. Chipeta Trading is his way of sourcing “wearable art” for those that appreciate it, while also sharing the history of these cultural pieces and giving back to the community that created them. I highly recommend it as a stop in Santa Fe, though he also has some pieces available on his website. But given the breadth of both his collection and his knowledge of the topic, it’s a worthy stop for anyone else curious about Native American art and jewelry. Read the rest here.Â
Product Review: Moscot "Dahven" Sunglasses
Product Review: Moscot "Dahven" Sunglasses
When I start to think about a new menswear purchase I tend to spend a lot of time planning, pondering, and researching. This surely comes as no surprise, given that I have been having most of those thoughts out loud on this website for over eleven (!) years. But eyewear is hard to plan like that – sometimes you put a pair on your face and immediately realize that this is now your look. There is a…

Two Suede Jackets
Menswear guys like myself will utilize a considerable amount of mental gymnastics to justify our purchases. Most of it revolves around using quality and versatility as a rationalization for dropping a bunch of cash – it will last forever! You can wear it with anything! Just think of how low the cost-per-wear will be! But at some point, when the closet is already fit to burst, this logic breaks…

A Sartorial Guide to Santa Fe
Santa Fe, New Mexico is a crossroads of cultures – an amalgamation of Native American, Spanish, Mexican and Old West history that spans thousands of years. It’s a town known for this rich background as well as the art and lifestyle that stem from it, but it’s also a destination for something else – shopping. Everything from tiny pop-up booths to international brands have opened up shop in Santa…

What I Wore: Exploring Santa Fe
I just got back from another great trip to Santa Fe with my good friend Gus as my tour guide. I’ll have more to share about some local collectors and makers in the coming weeks, but in the meantime wanted to show how my packing list from last week played out. The air was cold and the wind was blowing, which gave many opportunities for me to layer up on my western gear. Look 1 (above): Jacket –…

Snow in Santa Fe
Headed to the snow in Santa Fe
Tomorrow my girlfriend and I are heading to the mountains to spend a few days in Santa Fe with my good friend Gus. We’ll be hunting for vintage apparel and jewelry, meeting with local artisans and collectors, and will undoubtedly be enjoying some margaritas and hatch chilis along the way. This feels like the ideal time to pull out all my western-inspired gear and go “full yee-haw” for a long…

Product Review:"Paris - Édimbourg" Fragrance from Chanel
One of my aunts is the unofficial historian for our family. She keeps meticulous records of our genealogy and has boxes of artifacts that go way back, back to when my great-great-grandparents first landed in rural Vermont. One of the many heirlooms in her collection is a thick stack of letters that my long-deceased grandfather wrote for his wife while he was stationed in France during World War…

Todd Snyder Comes to California
It's official: @toddsnyderny has landed in California.
The middle of the market is a tough place to be in retail. There will always be an appetite for the cheapest product possible, and the luxury consumer will remain loyal to their favorites. But brands and retailers that attempt to offer something that’s both good and accessible often end up getting squeezed. We’ve seen this story many times – J. Crew’s chapter 11, Rugby Ralph Lauren being taken…

Playing the Long Game - Real McCoys x The Armoury Leather Jacket Review
It’s no small secret that leather jackets are extremely cool. From the Ramones and James Dean to Indiana Jones and the Fonz, leather jackets have a history of creating iconic looks both on screen and throughout history. But with all that coolness comes some risk, too – leather jackets are expensive, come in many styles weighted with cultural meaning, and are virtually guaranteed to make a…
