EDITOR’S NOTE
Enjoy Resurrection Sunday, folks. He’s risen!
Speaking of religion, I thought of a first verse today for the Gospel according to TIM: “Every time a pair of Allbirds get laced up, an angel loses its wings.”
Anyway, let’s tap into today.
LUXURY
Sugar & Spice from Ferragamo
The simple syrup: a nice brown penny loafer. Ferragamo's Tramezza Brandy shoes bring a sleek edge to dress footwear with the crafted leather design. The refined silhouette pairs well with tailored trousers or smart casual outfits, showing how dress shoes can adapt beyond formal settings. This style highlights Ferragamo's focus on structured yet wearable shapes, ideal for those seeking polished looks without stiffness. It’s a sharp option for upgrading everyday or office wear with Italian craftsmanship.
The rare Arabian spice: a driver/mule switch hitter. Honestly, I’ve never seen anything like this. The Billion Driver Italian-made loafer has a squared toe with raised stitching and a titanium-buckled strap, while its folding heel lets you switch between slip-on and mule styling (see below). The hand-sewn "Tubular" technique gives the rubber sole a flexible feel, blending urban polish with relaxed wearability. Bonus points are due for the innovation.
WORKWEAR
🔥!🔥!🔥!
HEAT in the pant department from Nashville-based Imogene and Willie.
The Ventura Chore Pant in Cerulean (above) and Sun faded Red (below) from Imogene + Willie brings workwear-inspired details into everyday wear with a relaxed fit and durable design. Its punchy color options add a pop to casual outfits, while reinforced stitching and practical pockets keep things functional. This style leans into the current workwear trend seen in updated classics, pairing well with simple tees or layered knits. It’s a go-to for those seeking comfort without sacrificing a polished look.
STREETWEAR
Kojima’s Finest
Kapital Global out of Kojima, Japan is the high watermark of deconstruction in the modern era. A river delta from downstream of Rei Kawakubo and Yohji Yamamoto with incredible range across categories. Enjoy.
The Kapital Champetre Boro Zip-Up Blouson in “Virgin Mary blue” has a layered patchwork design with a zip-front style and a relaxed fit. Its distressed fabric treatment and mix of textures give it a worn-in feel while keeping it lightweight. The blouson works as a standout layer that pairs well with casual tees or button-downs, making it adaptable for different looks.
The Fleece Drizzler Jacket in Ecru leans into cozy layers with a cropped, slightly boxy shape that pairs well with high-waisted pants or tucked-in tees. Made from a thick fleece material, it has a subtle texture and a relaxed fit that works for casual outings. The ecru color offers a neutral base for mixing with bolder patterns or earth-toned basics. It’s a practical yet distinctive layer for transitional weather, especially if you’re into Japanese workwear-inspired details.
The beige suede Sparrow sneaker swaps laces for a sleek zip closure, creating a minimalist vibe. The supple suede upper works with everything from jeans to chinos, offering a polished option for daily wear. Its low-cut shape keeps things modern without sacrificing comfort. This is an easy upgrade for casual outfits in need of an edge.
The Kotsu Kotsu Tote in ecru and navy has a sturdy cotton build with visible stitching details, giving it a lived-in look. Its roomy size works for daily essentials, while the natural tones pair easily with most outfits. The design leans into a relaxed, slightly rugged style that’s practical without feeling too polished. It’s the kind of bag that gets better with wear, showing character over time the way a canvas tote should.
FORMAL WEAR
Milanese Linen
Boglioli’s Dover jacket in khaki uses a soft cotton blend for a relaxed yet polished look, with its unstructured design and tonal stitching keeping things clean. The mid-weight fabric makes it easy to layer, while the lack of lining adds a breezy feel suited for mild weather.
OFFICE WEAR
Waxing Poetic
I want to give sole focus to this gorgeous waxed canvas shirt. There are other colors sold out, but this is one to bookmark. The Witham Work Shirt in field tan waxed canvas has a sturdy build with a classic button-up design. The finish adds weather resistance, making it useful for outdoor wear. The clean lines and neutral color work well with jeans or layered under heavier coats. It's built to last and fits into casual or slightly dressed-up looks.
ONE LAST THING….
One-upmanship in the Beer Game
Out-class the competition with this leather koozie. It’s never too late to get prepared for a tailgate or beach barbecue.
Have a good weekend, everybody 👋
