Cordings, Clae, Sage de Cret, Ramblers Way, Bennett Winch

I revamped the TIM website pretty thoroughly yesterday. Check it out: https://www.todayinmenswear.com

Changes include:

• Index of every issue I’ve written (233 issues)
• Index of every brand I’ve ever written about (610 brands)
• A full-archive search where you can look for items by fabric/material, item type (e.g. “hoodies” or “trousers”) or anything else you can think of
• Each brand has its own dedicated page with every product that’s been featured
• Each product (1,352 products) has a link, a picture and which edition it was in

What do you think? Anything else you want on there?

Anyway, let’s tap into today.

Leather, canvas, suede. Brown, black, grey, olive. With or without a garment bag.

The people at Bennet Winch are actually so deep in the pocket with mens bags. Genuinely cream of the crop.

Leather Weekender, Brown

Bennett Winch makes the Leather Weekender from full grain Italian leather, and each bag is made by hand in England. A padded laptop pocket and a waterproof shoe pocket sit inside, and the bag works as hand luggage. The brand backs it with a lifetime promise.

Leather S.C Holdall, Brown

The Leather S.C Holdall pairs a full grain Tuscan leather suit carrier with a canvas holdall dyed and proofed in Britain, both made by hand in England. Magnetic snaps and popper straps attach the holdall to the carrier, and the solid brass hardware is said to take on a golden tone with wear. A waterproof shoe bag and slimline hanger come included, and the brand markets it as carry-on on all premium airlines.

Classic Wool Henley

Ramblers Way cuts the Classic Wool Henley from 100% merino jersey at 135 gsm, knit in the Carolinas and sewn in New England. Three buttons close a clean placket above a Henley collar, and the body sits closer than most American cuts. The jersey is light enough for fall and warm enough under a jacket.

Wool Cross Neck Long Sleeve

Ramblers Way makes the Wool Cross Neck Long Sleeve from 100% merino jersey as well. The crossover neckline is a small break from the standard crew. Long sleeves and a relaxed drape through the body make it easy to wear under a jacket or alone.

Cotton/Nylon Typewriter Shirt Jacket in Black

Sage de Cret makes this shirt jacket from a cotton and nylon blend with a typewriter weave, which gives the surface a crisp texture. The jacket is made in Japan and has a casual fit.

Madras Check Button down Collar Shirt in Red Plaid

Sage de Cret cuts this button down from 100% cotton in a light Madras check. The shirt has a curved hem and a full button front, and it is made in Japan. It is on sale at $160 USD, down from $320.

Bingley Wool Corduroy Trouser in Brown

Cordings cuts the Bingley from 13oz wool corduroy woven in Italy, and the heavy wale holds its shape through daily wear. A single forward pleat and butterfly side adjusters let the waist fit without a belt. Two slanted side pockets, a buttoned rear pocket, and a zip fly keep the front clean. Brace buttons are built in for anyone who prefers suspenders.

Ballymore Donegal Trouser in Grey Brown

Cordings makes the Ballymore from 14oz Donegal tweed, woven by Magee in Ireland. A pleated front and a plain waistband with tunnel-top side adjusters give it a tailored shape. One jetted back pocket with a button fastening keeps the look clean. The button fly is standard, and the 37-inch inside leg arrives unfinished for hemming.

Bradley in Portabella Suede

Clae makes the Bradley with suede upper in a mushroom-colored hue, set on a similarly colored sole. A recycled polyester lining sits inside, over a foam insole. Sizes run from 4 to 14 including half sizes.

Deane in Off-White, Black, and Light Natural Gum

Clae’s Deane is a T-toe court shoe with an upper of suede and Italian leather. The outsole is rubber. A leather and recycled polyester lining sits inside, over a foam insole.

I was gifted two solid items in the month of October that have nothing to do with menswear, but worth shouting out nonetheless:

• Biom Wipes
  The dispenser is the best part…
  I chuckled at first at the prospect of a company solely dedicated to wipes. But they offered it up, and free is free. So I chose the flushable wipes with dispenser b/c everyone could use that type of wipe.
  The dispenser is exquisite! It’s a grippy silicone material with and there’s a suction cup on the base so that it stays in place.
  
  Again, I didn’t make this blog to improve my restroom program, but here we are doing exactly that.
• Wims Lite
  
  I seriously can see an alcohol-free world when Gen Z becomes the oldest generation in town. One way that’s going to happen is with THC drinks being people’s edge-taker-offer.
  Nobody is doing it better, more portably, more discreetly, and in low dosages than Wims. The Ginger Lime packet is the best infused drink I’ve tried to date, and the Unflavored packet is even more versatile b/c it can go in anything. Tap in.
