Brunello Cucinelli, OrSlow, Raf Simons, J.M. Weston, Trunk

EDITOR’S NOTE

New York throwing one last summer fit right now… sweating in my merino wool crewneck walking home from work is NOT the vibe.

Anyway, let’s tap into today.

LUXURY
Who’s Gonna Do It?

It’s a well known fact that the legions of private equity heads have taken any sartorial cachet that vests may have once had and flushed it down the toilet. But now that vests are so commonplace among them, the new way to signal status is to have a unique vest (read: not this Patagonia one). So who’s going to step up and drop four grand on this Brunello full cashmere sleeveless status megaphone? It won’t be me! But it could be you…

WORKWEAR
Japanese Denim

Warehouse's 107 Ivy Fit Denim offers a modern take on classic 1960s jeans. These pants feature a high rise, roomy thighs, and a slight taper below the knee for a refined silhouette. Made from 13.5oz selvedge denim, they're crafted in Japan with careful details like hidden rivets and a deerskin patch. The one-wash process gives these jeans a softer feel right out of the gate, perfect for those who want to skip the break-in period.

STREETWEAR
Take Notes

This printed pullover from Raf Simons was a special order from select boutiques in the early 2000s, and features some verbiage we would all do well to follow. 100% cotton and definitely second hand, but surely a conversation piece as well as an archival piece you’re not going to find anywhere else. Live on Grailed as we speak!

FORMAL WEAR
Soft Calf Loafer

J.M. Weston's iconic 180 Loafer in black boxcalf leather is an automatic staple of refined menswear. This slip-on shoe features a hand-sewn vamp (the upper part that covers the front of the foot) and three layers of gradually softening leather in the sole for lasting comfort. The 180 Loafer's sleek design and quality crafting make it a go-to choice for both formal and casual outfits. With its French pedigree and expert shoe making, this loafer is an easy and enduring way to elevate your shoe game.

OFFICE WEAR
More Scottish Knits

Trunk also offers a cozy and stylish option for the colder months with their Berwick Brushed Shetland Crew Sweater in Dark Olive, Mink and Maroon. These sweaters are crafted from 100% Shetland wool, known for its warmth and durability. The dark olive color provides a rich, earthy tone that pairs well with any fall office outfit, from casual denim to more formal wear. The brushed finish gives the sweater a soft, slightly fuzzy texture that adds to its comfort and visual appeal. Delish.

ONE LAST THING….
Filson

These are here and not in workwear because they’re 1/1 on eBay and will be gone by EOD. Rough-out Filson work boots…. Just wow. What a treat. In a size 11, no less, which could fit most with the right thickness of wool sock. Please, PLEASE, someone tap in.
