Yours truly is sick today 🤒 I went from 80 degree heat on the beach to a mf’ing blizzard in New York…. so yeah, that’ll get you. Apologies for the shorter, top-heavy note.

Anyway, let’s tap into today.

De Bonne Facture Traveler Jacket

De Bonne Facture is a Paris label known for "soft tailoring," a term for pieces that wear like a jacket but move and feel like casual clothing. The Traveler Jacket has a boxy, unlined cut made from organic French cotton denim, woven by a 180-year-old mill in the Vosges region and certified under GOTS, the global organic textile standard. Real horn buttons, two patched pockets, and a chest pocket build out the details, while a hidden button beneath the lapel keeps the front line clean. Made by hand at the atelier of Mr. Erbas in Pantin, France, the sourcing story and the craft behind it are both TRT (the real thing).

Palace x San Francisco Giants T-Shirt — Orange

…that the merch team at the SF Giants thought of this before the merch team at the Red Sox. Also fun fact the Giants are my 2nd fave MLB team due to #familyties.

This is already sold out in all four colorways, but good to know about if you actually want to go hunting for it.

Aspesi Wool Polo Shirt — Black Navy (On Sale: $199.50, was $285)

Aspesi's wool polo has long sleeves with a clean three-button placket at the neck, plus ribbed trim at the cuffs and hem to hold its shape over time. Made from 100% wool in a regular fit, it reads polished enough for a dinner and relaxed enough for a weekend without trying too hard. The Italian brand has been at this since 1969, and this polo reflects that approach: clean design, strong material, no extra noise.

This one is on sale right now at $199.50, marked down 30% from $285.

Aspesi Japanese Cotton Chambray Shirt — Light Denim

Chambray is a plain-woven cotton fabric that looks like denim from a distance but is much softer against the skin. Aspesi sources theirs from Japan for this slim-fit button-up, which has a stiffened collar to hold its curve, a breast pocket, buttoned cuffs, and a rounded hem. The light denim shade reads casual, but the slim cut and neat build push it toward a formal setting just as easily. Italian brand Aspesi has been making precise, clean clothing since 1969, and this shirt is a good example of that.

Keep it simple. JW Anderson collabs with Uniqlo? It gets featured in TIM. We don’t have to reinvent the wheel, folks. Finish your food, wash your face, be grateful, and invest in this collab.

Uniqlo x JW Anderson DRY Pique Polo Shirt | Tipping — White

Pique (pee-KAY) is the slightly raised, textured weave you see on most polo shirts, and Uniqlo's DRY version mixes cotton with recycled polyester to resist pilling and dry fast. This Tipping polo from the brand's JW Anderson collab has subtle accent lines at the collar and cuffs, logo buttons, and a small chest embroidery that mark it as part of the collab without being loud about it. The relaxed, tapered fit keeps the silhouette clean rather than boxy, making it a solid pick for warmer office days. It's an easy way to get some JW Anderson design thinking without going to his main line.

Uniqlo x JW Anderson DRY Pique Striped Polo Shirt | Wide Stripe — Navy

The Wide Stripe version shares the same DRY pique build as the Tipping above, but swaps the subtle detail work for wide, bold stripes in JW Anderson's signature colors. The cotton-poly pique fabric still handles heat well and dries fast, and the relaxed fit gives enough room without going baggy. JW Anderson logo buttons and a chest embroidery carry over from the Tipping style, keeping the collab thread intact. If you want the polo to do a little more talking, this is the one.

Hilarious lyrics in this one… otherwise just a great spazz-jazz/funk/improvisational piece. Found it on a random NTS Radio show and had to put it in the Shazam → Spotify save pipeline.
